All aboard the Oriental Express, love or hate sir?l

No fans of Honda's 'Type R' brand?I suppose the NSX could be considered the first, although they did do a seperate Type R model which is meant to be one of the best 'drivers' cars ever.

[Pete-M]

Oh right, sorry, I missed your point.

It's a habit of yours. My point was that the MGB is the classic car scene's great survivor in the UK, with an owners club that's a medium-sized business, is the mainstay of shows up and down the country and is loved by its current tens of THOUSANDS of owners. In the face of that, one little man stamping his foot and denouncing it as shit makes him look very silly and rather arrogant.

It's shit. Face it. You've been here a few days, probably because Practical Classics forum is down, and now you're trying to bring the PC bollocks to here. Sorry. It doesn't work like that.This is Autoshite. not Practical Classics.

[Minimad5]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinionJust a simple clash of opinionsSo Okay ... Moving swiftly on How was everyones day ? . . . . ?

[pogweasel]

I liked your first answer better TBH Pete.

 

 

I am also not much of a fan of the old Sherpa ragtop. Certainly not the tartan red/wire wheels kind.

[Minimad5]

 

Do share !

[Pete-M]

My first answer was the one I preferred, Pog!

Face it - you're about as well-liked and respected on here as you were over on PC, because you think you know everything when in fact your ignorance shines through like a beacon, as your stupid dismissal of the NSX and your attempt to recover your equilibrium by saying Gordon Murray drives a Smart show. I happen to think that one little man's opinion against that of thousands of happy MGB owners and a world renowned F1 engineer is irrelevant. I don't much care how many posts you've made on here and it has got absolutely nothing to do with you whether or not I express my opinions. If you disagree, get over it.

[Milford Cubicle]

[pogweasel]

There's only one way to sort this out.

 

fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!!

Go fuck yourself you tedious twat. Gordon Murray did indeed drive a Smart - he was rather well known for it, and if you read back you'll find that I said I believe the NSX is very good, but I don't like the looks of it.

[saabhappy]

Um....too clever for me.

[Minimad5]

Milford deserves some kind of points for the amount of laughter and personal pleasure he generated for myself

 

As for this little war going on

It's obviously a man date gone wrong

Autoshite Keyboard Army at your stations !

[saabhappy]

Go fuck yourself you tedious twat.

Oooooh the cut and thrust of a rapier! I think you're a cert for the MUM award on current form.

[Pete-M]

I don't have a clue who you are, and I don't really care. You appeared here and started having a pop at me because I don't like MGBs. As I said earler, go fuck yourself. This ain't PC.

[Milford Cubicle]

Give it a rest eh? It'd be a shame if autoshite turns out like almost every other forum on the web, populated by seething keyboard warriors.You do see slightly cutting remarks on here from time to time, but it's all in good humour.This just seems... bitter.

[saabhappy]

I don't have a clue who you are, and I don't really care. You appeared here and started having a pop at me because I don't like MGBs. As I said earler, go fuck yourself. This ain't PC.

Ditto.I had a pop at you because you come over as an arrogant prick. The MGB part was mere coincidence.

[Ratdat]

Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's any good. See VW Beetles, VHS and anything made by Microsoft for futher evidence. That "it's popular so is obviously great" thinking is so very classic car scene.

[Minimad5]

Basically men Please stop swearing and hating on eachother Exchange phone numbers and emails to do that Or even arrange a face to face bitch off Just don't wreck the forum for everyone else Please ?

I agree and it applies to modern culture in loads of fields, but simply dissing something as "shit" because you don't like it isn't a debate.

Precisely.MGBs are shit though.

[pogweasel]

BEEP BEEP.

 

[Milford Cubicle]

I've always admired the MGB's styling, especially the GTs, I can easily see why people like them even if they are basically a Sherpa coupe.

[Mr H Sceptre]

Blimey!Such a heated 'debate' over the old Sherpa coupe. Well, well, well. Next we'll all be arguing about Minors & Beetles.Anyone fancy a pint in a bit?

[Minimad5]

MGBs are shit though.

hahaWill this ever end ?(Big Brother voice)Day 2 on the Autoshite Forum and Pete-m and Saabhappy are still going at it strong.To vote who gets banned txt either 01 for pete or 02 for saab to the forum moderators Vote Now !No really a disagreement is okay.Just crazy keyboard warriors wind me up

MINORS R WEL GUD, BEST CLASSIC CAR EVER. Anyone who disagrees is wrong and will be shot. Also, that had better be proper beer. Lager is rubbish and drunk by idiots.

[Minimad5]

Pog you best be messing !Beer is well horrid !!It's either spirits or you're a cnut **Keyboard bash**

[Pete-M]

Guinness for me. I don't do bitter

[Mr H Sceptre]

Lager, bitter, Guiness - its all great. Maybe a G&T or a vodka & coke later on.Wine for indoors, blokes shouldnt drink wine in pubs.

[Timewaster]
