I secretely craved a Ford Fiesta on Ebay coilovers with black wheels instead but I just couldn't handle the excitement it offered.

Stormster had a mint EP3 before no? Everyone likes EP3's on here no?

Car purchases are moot.

Sometimes I don't understand why people on here bash others for their purchases. If the owner is happy, then why would they care what others think?

How else we are supposed to find out why people fit bright yellow tow straps to cars if we are not allowed to ask?

Your dad is an exception, most older men will settle for something 'boring' and comfortable that will get them from A to B with the least amount of pain.

Normally in silver too.

The thing is, we all know fitting bright tow straps to a normal derv is stupid. Yet we ask in a trollish manner as we know there is no valid reason the owner can come up with. It's a stupid scene thing.

I can agree with when someone asks advice and then goes to purchase something the total opposite, only to get flamed upon said purchase. Yet, when someone posts their pride and joy, it's just a little belittling. No matter what the car.

Yes because 0-60 times are so much fun, even if the rest of the car is utterly lifeless.

Tell that to millions of Americans...whats not fun about acceleration?

There has been absolutely no snobbery, thats the thing. Nobody dislikes it because it's a Bora. There is nothing wrong with the Bora as a car.

Did you know what the average age of owners of cars such as the Porsche 911 or Chevrolet Corvette is?

There is a difference between the average owner age of a particular model and a demographic group itself, the latter is what I was talking about.

No but you still hate it because its been modified, to something you don't like or see beneath you, i.e. chavvy so you have to put the person and the car down. There is an element of snobbery in there, otherwise you wouldn't give a two hoots and start interrogating a person in such a condescending way.

I didn't call it 'chavvy'. The harshest thing I said was 'Do you think all those random stickers look really good?', which whilst a leading question is hardly abusive.

I only made two posts about it infact - one asking that and the other asking about the towing strap. I didn't actually say that I 'hated' the car. Not sure why you are trying to pretend I did?

The owner continues to post and seems fairly un-bothered by any of this, infact he's enjoying the fact his car has caused a bit of stir. Yet still the 'get offended on behalf of everyone else' squad persist in trying to make this into some sort of horrible scandal or something. It's quite bizarre.

No need, his has a leecy one built in :cool:

edit: Just went back to see what the Bora everyone was talking about. What has been seen...

shauncr91 · 17 Jul 2014 at 20:55

I do have to agree with Fox that it's simply other people getting offended on someone elses behalf, we're all adults here and if someone causes offence I'm sure he would've said so himself!

Motors has always been an honest environment where people don't pull any punches with their opinions, it's why I like it so much

What colour tow strap would you guys recommend I get?

I'm thinking anodised purple, but I'm open to suggestions.

Minstadave · 17 Jul 2014 at 22:33

As long as it matches your drift toys on the back it'll be all good.
