No towbar but running OK. Named George best now!

so it's worshipped by all other cars inexplicably despite its drinking habits, has received a new engine which drinks even more and beats lady cars up?

[oldcars]

 because it likes a drink or is good at football?

[bub2006]

Its very thirsty. 26/27 on average. Not bad for size and auto box,commuting traffic and ac on but I'm used to diesels!

[Sheefag]

26/27!!!!!

 

I dream of 22/23.....

[face]

Having slagged off XJ220s in no uncertain terms, I am forced to offer an apology. Pictures/details of one were posted ona another forum and I have to admit is is fucking gorgeous. All I can offer by way of explanation is: senility means a failing memory and I had forgotten how cool they look.

 

I am a twat.

 

But, I still say F40 are shit (no 'E') .

 

I was the production planner for the XJ220 composite chassis. It was a cool thing to be involved in at 18/19 years old.

 

Jaguar brought one in to show us all, I was on fucking holiday

It's only an opinion bub and to be fair, I think it was pretty tongue in cheek with little or no seriousness or harmful intent behind it.

 

For what it's worth, I've always liked the fact that some manufacturers occasionally have the bollocks to throw away the marketing rulebook, empower engineers to focus solely on the requirement, and allow the function to dictate the form.

 

10 or 20 years from now, people will be at classic shows taking pictures of, and making warm comments about cars such as the Picasso and Multipla, and ruing the day they gave one away for peanuts.

 

I don't think he read the "Ronnie Pickering" bit in small print at the bottom.

Straight-up, repeatedly, calling people cunts.

 

Its not "cheeky bantz". Its not even close to being a slightly off-colour joke, its pretty hateful.

 

It's just a word. Would you have objected to "dick"? I suspect not.

 

BTW don't forget you came in 7th place last year's Cunt Count, out of 155 

[The Moog]

Is the space runner an MPV?

 

I am not sure to be annoyed or not. I will prepare to be offended and put my angry pants on just in case*

* The pants bit is a lie. I sit naked on the sofa.

 

Its a leather one ...and quite hot this time of the year... Yeah.... So now get that thought out of you mind...

Its not the word I have a problem with, its your attitude.

[John F]

Because you've never called someone a cunt on the forum before, have you?

 

 

piss off with your superious smugness you cunt.

 

Oh wait, yes you have. You fucking hypocrite.

 

lol.

[purplebargeken]

Cunt is one of my most favourite words, next to fuckwit, twatface and knobhead.

 

The Star Runner is kind of an MPV I think. 

[purplebargeken]

Is the Kia hate on facebook somewhere? 

 

Sounds about right for Facebook.

[John F]

I've no idea about the Kia hate... as far as I can tell, it might only exist in bub's mind.

[dave21478]

Oh wait, yes you have. You fucking hypocrite.

 

lol.

 

I believe I said that to the gold coins troll. 

 

wait a minute...did you actually look through my post history to prop up your case here?

 

LMFAO. 

 

 

 

Anyway, like I clearly said, its not the word - its your attitude. You dont like Picassos? great. No need for spewing bile about it over several posts, directly insulting all owners though.

 

"oh boohoohoo, he doesnt like some words on the internet" will likely be your next reply and its not the insults that bother me...truth be told Im not that bothered about it, I am just disappointed by this attitude on a forum that I guess I wrongly thought was above this sort of stereotyping.

[castros_bro]

Will you lot stop this.

 

I only wander through this forum because it doesn't descend to your level of pointless bickering,       None of you are right, none of you are wrong and none of you are putting your point over with a convincing argument. Stop posting and let it all simmer down till you can be adults again.

[johngarty]

Own a Picasso or a Kia?

Then Autoshite will be sending the boys round.

 

Cunts...

He thinks the website that claims "all Voxalls are shite" is above this sort of stereotyping.

 

ACTUAL LOL.

[castros_bro]

Ok, I t may be because I am black but I don't find this sort of insults amusing so I'm off. Good bye.

[John F]

It's OK castro, I've done with him now

[Cavcraft]

Fucking superb stuff, pat yourselves on the back.

[dave21478]

Oh, he is "done with me now". Well, thats me put in my place I am sure.

 

 

Another for the list.

[Louise2cv]

There's been an off-putting (to me) increase in the swearing round here lately.

 

Runs and hides....

[purplebargeken]

It's the weather.

[Pillock]

It's true.

Anyone who deals with kids in the sort of 5-10yrs age range will know, when it's windy they go mental.

If we have a windy week, come Beavers night they're running around and fighting and falling out with each other and it's all "HE SAID THIS" and "SHE TRIPPED ME UP  SO I 'IT 'ER". School teachery friends tell me the same is true there too.

 

It's been windy today.

[AlabamaShrimp]

So I don't post on here as much as I used to/should and just use the like button as I'm a lazy git but really wtf is all that shit above about and why now has castros gone off in a huff?

 

Have some posts been deleted or am I missing something but I didn't see sod all for anyone to get wound up about other than a bit of swearing??

 

Sometimes this site is amazing with some really helpful people but lately, for a few it's been worse than Facebook with its sulking and storming off, I don't get it?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Zzzzzzz

[purplebargeken]

Castros isn't really black. Well he wasn't the last time I saw him. 

[Louise2cv]

Don't get me wrong it's more of an observation than a grump and generally I put up with it along with the casual sexism and tend to put almost all of it under a banner of the tongue in cheek but lately it seem posts are chock full of them for no apparent gain, just bulking up the post. When you get 3 or 4 Fs or Cs in a post on the eBay tat thread, it gets to be hard work. Personally speaking of course... I know some of you have arguments for embracing such words.

[Cavcraft]

You're right, Louise, and I'm one of the worst for it, sorry. It's not big or clever, it just comes out (a lot) and any sexism from me is 100% intended to be tongue in cheek.

[strangeangel]

I've got an 04 kia. Starting to think I'd best fuck off

 

No way. Pls post pics of the giffer damage in the 'grin' thread instead.
