Bet you can't go for a day of posting without mentioning the P word.

That's not true. My car is OK it's nothing great , I am sure there are lots of cars out there a million times better. My Honda was OK too, in fact there are things about that that are better than the Porsche.

It's tongue in cheek and it's not my problem if you don't get it mate, you know I am a joker and I mean nothing and no offence to anyone

I can only think that the Porsche board must be full of people with GT3s and turbos

I understood Jamie perfectly; perhaps because I've met him a few times and chatted to him - maybe its again one of those things where its easier to understand the inflection/meaning if you've met someone.

Actually yes it is.

If this were Pistonheads or another generic motoring site, then you'd be right. However, given this is an S2000 site, it comes across as superior posturing. As I said, intentional or otherwise, but that's how it appears - and yes, I know you well enough that I know it's not meant to be like that.

(Ive met him loads of times Jo, I even went on holiday with the berk My comment wasn't solely to do with the posts in this thread but more a culmination of several over the last few weeks)

Honda is prettier with Hard top on, brakes feel so much better (thats the lack of the servo feel in a Porsche, its normal apparently)
Honda feels better round corners. I haven't drive the P****** that long so it may be better who knows !!

Boxsters yes but 911's I would have to disagree. But then I live in Bmouth and you will see loads in London.
