Who on earth takes photos of them selves purchasing clothes (or pretending doing so) with their old Nokia camera phones? I guess you must be a Tudor watch owner to do so, so all respect to you johnireland

This is exactly how I feel about the 996. Normally I like vintage cars, but they aren't comfortable to drive daily. The 996 has that light and tossable feeling that I get from vintage cars, but with all the modern creature comforts.

I had a Tiptronic C4 996 back in the 2000's and I honestly didn't enjoy it that much (the Tiptronic took all the fun out of it). The 2000 C2 6-speed I just picked up honestly feels like perfection for a DD.

I actually have no idea. It may have started with my early IMS threds. Instead of Jake Raby's fix I used a Rolex Daytona for my IMS seal. Or maybe it is my Auto Shop karma from high school.

Once you move your vanity publishing efforts from Amazon to Rennlist, you are likely to suffer some degree of abuse. I have teenage nieces (no photos, sorry Hurdi) who are less self-absorbed.

Well, in fairness, it might be a f***ing awesome book, but unless John signs up as a vendor, we don't need to be reminded about it every day.

Ah, it's all the usual abusive banter, no harm meant.

But, Mr. Irish should check out the following thread to see the true perils of posting self-pix on Rennlist:
