garethj Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 A few top quality replies along the lines of "I don't like it, therefore it's shit".

scooters Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 lol! DW' join the club.... My Sherpa was the Christmas special SOTW http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=162&i=21258 funnily enough at the £500 he was looking for it was a complete bargain - apart from one or two electrical gremlins when it is geeshing with rain it has turned into a superb old bus. The boy and I popped up to Glenrothes this morning to recover our property from the GTi - we took the van - 70 miles in the pissing rain - only issue is the front offside indicator is shorting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to open your minds, lads You're talking about people who religiously watch Top Gear and their favourite car is the latest Ferrari/Porsche.

Mr Lobster Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Was going to say the same myself, what do you really expect from Pistonheads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Agreed, it was. More the comments of the PH users that can't see beyond the latest Porsche / Audi offering was what I meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 BADGE OF HONOUR! Have been wafting around in the beast today actually - got the nod about it from someone on RR when I was parked up in town. Makes me feel better about declining £500 from some Euro-hero who will reject the car if there's any rust on it. I said solid, not pristine!

Magnificent Rustbucket Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I would have said at least half the people commenting about on the CX on Piston Heads liked it. Maybe I'm a just glass half full kinda guy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Station Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Pistonheads is decent and well written stuff, it's just some of the knuckleheads that occupy the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I actually don't mind Pistonheads tbh. Theres some right old bollocks spouted of course in some parts of the forums but there are also some VERY knowledgeable people on there, especially if you get onto the non motoring stuff. It can be very interesting. The main editorial stuff - no the forums - are generally very good and quite varied. Whilst I was still an employee - ie when someone else paid me I was spending most of my 'working' day split between here, RR and Pistonheads.

Spiny Norman Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 My Royale was their SOTW a couple of weeks back, and I was quite pleased with the reception it got, even if half the discussion afterwards centred around what it was and its exact place in the Vauxhall/Opel model range. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=22572 Didn't generate one single genuine enquiry though!

garethj Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I can see lots of positive comments as well. Not sure why it's customary to bash Pistonheads on here Far from it. I'm just bashing the ill-informed but loud mouthed mongs who shout there opinions like it's fact. I'll make fun of them wherever they are Agreed there are some knowledgeable people on there but they have more than their fair share of cretins.

Pistonheads is a very big forum, so I guess it is inevitable that the quality of posts will vary. I sometimes wonder if some of the very rabid one make fans are school kids though, by some of their comments. I only very rarely stray into the "Pie and Piston", but many of the comments in the politics and economics section shock me. I have seen more wisdom, reason and insight on Fox news.

trigger Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I've just be having a quick look through the PH thread, I think the last page is the best, Anyone seen this CX before?.
