oh mannnn....I do too much blah blah

theiceman

I actually have an account over there but i use it a couple of times a year when I want to comment on something. I find it to fast moving for me and prefere this slower more laid back forum ... might take some getting use to for pelicanites though ...

User 4221

I post over there occasionally, but prefer the mixture of banter and technical knowledge over here.

Yes, Clive, even your banter

theiceman

yeah until that 996 lovin' mod bans me

I'm seeing a trend. It seems that we have a new set of rules we SHOULD be abiding by. I made the half-sarcastic remark about newer water-cooled (not defined as Porsches) being "expendable" when compared to ours, and was called ignorant. Now, no humor, or humour to our friends in the UK.

Did I miss a memo?!

ivangene

there are a LOT of new owners in the water cooled cars as prices drop and so they are gettiing hit with a fresh load of "same ole' questions"

I think it wears on people and they tend to get edgy

User 4221

Too many people confuse real life with the type of car they buy or comments on a forum. You should know this very well having owned a 928.

If they don't like jokes, eff-em. BTW, the watercooled newer P-cars are are disposable. They were designed by Toyota to be that way

And look ^^^ I added smileys to make it better for those that get their hurty-feelys out of shape.

Actually, I was called that over here. But, I know exactly the feeling. We get tons of newbies asking if Odyssey batteries will fit, what are the tire recommendations, what kind of oil, etc. Then, they post these questions as their first post, and iceman needs to jump them for no pics on top of that. The cycle then repeats...

so ice is the "newbie’s hospitality director"
