The "pub chat" thread. *NSFW*

No, they're not. I saw a silver one trundle past on mounts bay rd as I was heading in from the bike bays about a month ago. They look just as shit in person as they do in pictures.

I think they are the best looking Porsche out of their current line up.

[Professor Redfern]

4 door Porsche is sinfully ugly, Case closed.

All Porsche's whilst technically pretty good are boring to the eye.


If you want a pretty relatively cheap car get one of these.

They have managed to produce one of the prettiest cars of the last ten years by making it mean as shit, beautifully curved, super classy, elegant and fuck my fun fag if they dont give me a bit of a boner.

What I adore most with all this talk of car exotica that close to none of you will ever be able to justify owning, what you're really doing is flapping to Ducati analogues, something I'm quietly confident most of you would not be nearly as ready or eager to indulge...

As long as you discount Ferrari from your list, owning an older bit of exotica is a surprisingly realistic proposition. You'd be amazed what you can get if you have around 50k to blow.
911's, Lotus Esprit, pre Fiat Maseratis and Honda NSX's are not so uncommon that they have retained their value that well. Hell, a 996 series 911 (the first water cooled ones with the unpopular styling) can be had in the 50 - 60 price range with low k's and in good nick.
They sold new upwards of 160.

Not case closed. Panameras are hot.

But that portofino(?) is sexxxxxx too.

If you're referring to Redferns post, Gran Turismo

My boss just picked up a 2003 Audi A6 Quattro for 38k.

Nice car.
Seats are climate controlled. (Not just heated).

+1 They look shit hot and sound fuckin' fantastic to boot. I have seen a couple around near where I live and they draw my attention every time.

I've always wanted a car with air conditioned seats.

Pub, does anyone else think Piers Akerman is turning into Baron Greenback?

In short, "Si Barone." (to be read in Stiletto's voice)

Sup Pub?

Is doing a wheelie shortly after an Ambo passes in the opposite direction with its lights and sirens on bad form?

Chars,
BC

[The Saint]

Yes, the paramedics would not have seen it.

[russkigreg]

Yes.

There could have been someone in that ambulance suffering from a heart attack. And as you put the wheelie down you could have caused someone else to have a heart attack, requiring another ambulance and setting up a neverending chain of wheelies and heart attacks. Or what if a mother with a pram stepped out from behind that ambulance? Or thatguy's dog that he won't stop posting on FB about? Its wheelies that cause my curtains to fade, not daylight savings, and don't even get me started on the cows that have stopped giving milk because of all the wheelies your POS SRAD has done wharblegarbleblah.


Yeah, I'm bored. So what.

[Daise]

The joys of having a kid is that you have an excuse to buy/do all the things you missed out on when you were a kid.

I've decided to dig a giant pit in our backyard - for a ground-level trampampoline. Does anyone know if we need planning permission for something like that?

Anyone? Bueller?

maybe a fence around it before the tramampoline goes in.
Its not holding a body of water, so I doubt it.

[Desmo]

Running out of petrol fucking sucks.

Asked my wife, who is a planner and she said shouldnt be a problem at all. Only suggestion would be to call dial before you dig on 1100.

[russkigreg]

Bueller?

He's busy, sorry.

[Professor Redfern]

Hey saint you reckon that dude is turning into Dm's nemesis but what about Charlie sheen into Barney Stinson.

"cant is the cancer of happen"

"Im B-awesome"

"I blinked and I cured my brain"


They should add him to the cast of How I met your mother as Barneys guru or something.
