Selling crap to the VW crowd for more than it's worth


Recommended Posts

In fairness to RR it's always been about lightly (or otherwise) modifying old cars and there is plenty of worthwhile stuff to read on there. There are also plenty of bloody good people who use the place.

It's just the snivelling that really bugs me, if people want to be mods they should just ask.

Retro Rides has some great cars. It also has some total knobbers.

 

Unfortunately, my sense of humour ain't appreciated there.

Sorry but that's a description of THIS forum

Could be both....

 

Its just RR specialises more on modified, AS specialises on... er... shite

 

But a good mix on both....

I think the specialist subject here is obscure rather than just shite.

 

Sometimes, frighteningly obscure :D

^^^ aww, 5 mins waiting for it to load, thread doesn't exist.

 

PS, my retro-rides problem seems to have solved itself. The whole site has gone so slow it is impossible to browse it, so I'm just not.

Yep, Must of just been removed, Someone posted a photo of a UKIP covered taxi they are working on which then started off comments about Hitler and the usual bollocks. :roll:

Thought Herr H only had the one? lol, good to see I'm not missing anything then.

I thought that it was an unwritten internet rule that if you bring Hitler or the Holocaust into an argument on a forum you automatically lose?

Yeah, Godwin's law... but it's not a proper actual law that can't be ignored (like, say the first law of thermodynamics) or even a legal type "ignore at your peril" law (like murder..) more a rule quoted by twats who want to derail a discussion.

 

FWIW - pretty much the whole second world war is "not funny" IMO, I'm not condoning hitler refs or racism but I find it odd that there is a special rule for hitler but not the other historical madmen out there.

do these madmen have to be famous

 

where do i apply?

 

the thread was about the UKIP taxi

 

i made my customary humorous remark, but the thread was deleted

 

thankfully i saved it for prosperity

 

1 forward and 4 reverse gears?

chances lanes and direction without effort?

lots of windows but the driver cant see out into the real world?

Can the OP change the title of this thread to "The 'I Hate RR' Thread"? Just to avoid confusion ;)

 

 

Also, IT'S ONLY THE FUCKING INTERNET!!!!

Hey, Mr Duke- changing the thread title, thats something, HITLER would have done.

Hitler also invented VWs.

He was also a vegetarian who opposed fox hunting, what a bloody shame that some of his other ideas were ever so slightly twisted then.

 

I mean, a moustache of that type clearly exists for one purpose and one purpose alone.

BACK ON TOPIC for a moment -

 

It is amazing the cash some folk will spunk in order to buy a load of wolfsburg pish - I mean I am a great fan of VWs especially Mk1 and Mk2 golfs but the aircooled mob are a bit odd to say the least -

 

the outrageous prices paid by James and Jessica from Battersea on VW campers so they can go to the festivals is extraordinary - I had a look myself this summer and the worse later ones let alone the classics are not to be had for under 5 grand! this for a shit 1.5 sewing machine deathtrap!!!

 

so that's why I flicked them the Vs and bought the Leyland Sherpa - if I am going to drive around in a crap camper van then it WILL be a BRITISH crap camper van by GOLLY and no sausage eating, pole bashing, queuebarging bosch is going to talk me out of it!
