I noticed there was a thread titled "TT drivers".
I believe one of the principles espoused on this site is that people are not slagged off on the basis of their car choice (unless it is not a grey import Toyota  ). So, in fairness, I raise this thread.
I shall raise another shortly. |

Well, This would, at least, appear to be a far more intelligible thread than the TT one.  |

in the spirit of fairness...
Personnel who chose, of their own free will, to drive a Soarer of vee eight engine configuration often experience difficulty in the finer art of spelling. I draw your attention to the following thread...

Naturellement Monsieur Dan. All wisdom and culture reside on the V8 thread 
Ben, a little grammatical problem there; agreement of tenses?

I think the TT drivers are just jealous of their UZZ31 and UZZ32 overlords  |

Good luck with that one Ben

Last night I had an old guy - about 60 pull up next to me in traffic with his 1990 Mazda 626 asking i wind down the window. I did and he asked my girlfriend " why do you have a modified exhaust" I replied, "it came with the car"
Poor dude hadnt heard a nice sounding Soarer V8 before
Wouldnt get that with a TT ! |

Ive got both and i remember my V8 getting blitzed off the line bye a piece of crap scooter...I think i can do with out that sweet sounding exhaust to save myself that sort of humiliation...I never had a manual V8 so i would'nt know about that.
My V8's are cruisers and thats it i try not to waste time doing mods on them that gain me 1kw.
And i think an inline six TT with exhaust and BOV's probably sounds alot better driving past than the V8. |

I think that comes down to personal choice. A good TT exhaust (like Gary's) can sound angry going past under full power, but a V8 with a decent exhaust going past under the same conditions - no comparison.
Keep in mind too, that a lot of TT exhausts just drone, which doesn't do anything for me at all. |

Quite obviously a wanna-be TT guy. Just look at the punctuation.
"getting off the line BYE a piece of crap", "with out" and "would'nt". My native language is not English but I'm sure I can do better than that. But hey, I drive a V8 with that SWEEEEEET exhaust sound. |

TT drivers have this problem: they find it hard to breathe without first farting.

Well you haven't heard my TT, 264 inlet and exhaust cams, with exhaust cam gear, on idle very very phat indeed.....
But on the flipside (and no I will not convert to the darkside) is that a V8 soarer with a exhaust does sound very nice too, but its ashame they still go like snails.... |

Well, the JZZ31 has the best stock exhaust note anyway, no competition - which is about the only thing it does best, other than perhaps be reliable... |

Nothing to do while waiting for jobs to finish (yeah, it's I.T.). I GET PAID to do this.
But Ben is right. You could at least spell the insults correctly.
Now we're at it. A totally irritating sentence (for me at least):
Im definately going if your going to.
Enough ranting. I don't mind a couple of spelling mistakes but laziness is abhorrent. |
