Its funny when you get back off holiday and start looking through your pics to see how nice they look, first thing i did was to look see how the car pics had come out.

After seeing one up close this would have to be my everyday car, or a gran tourer for europe, off to check my lottery ticket

Nice pic mjt.

I got in loads of trouble for the various car pics I took when I went round Aus

She thought it was embarrasing I kept pointing the camera at passing cars. 'But its an actual R34 GT-R V-Spec II' didnt seem to let me off th hook

My cousin said this to me, a Scottish lad so he had the Scottish chip on the shoulder and also a biker of 25 years plus, so most cars were crap but especially the 911 as it was simply a posers pouch not a proper car like an Aston or Jag. Quick blast cross country changed that opinion forever as it turns out he'd never been in a 911 let alone driven one. I can't reason with hate as again I'm sure you have your reasons but the vast majority of people who hate the 911 have an alterer motive for doing so, usually to do with the perception they have of the owners or long held abuse as a child by someone with a beetle. They don't CONSTANTLY win drivers car awards and haven't done so for years to simply spite the detractors as some seem to think, there is a good reason for it. How any petrol head worth their salt could hate a GT3 as an experience is beyond me and if the reason is badge, image, popularity, blandness of design or other such aesthetic reason I don't think they can truly warrant the term petrol head. Sure its a flawed design in many ways but that is half of the appeal I think. It simply should be utter bobbins and it really isn't.

Same applies to the GT-R too as a matter of interest, how could a petrol head not appreciate what a fantastic tour de force Nissan have created.

Yes they may be quick but I dont particularly like the design and they're driven by absolute muppets 99% of the time

Do you know a lot of 911 owners personally or is your opinion of them clouded by the crushing jealousy you find yourself harbouring for those who simply own a far better car than yourself?

I dont understand the Porsche hatred, I think it's a subconcious jealousy thing. Perhaps not the Porsche itself but more that its owner quite obviously has the means to purchase things the rest of us simply dream about.

That's exactly it, if people don't like a brand then that's fine. However, saying "99% of owners are muppets", is just obviously a jealousy thing.

I work at a petrol station sadly, hence getting a lot of 911 drivers coming in.....most of them are douches, that good enough for you? I'm not jealous, far from it - I have no desire to own a prosche at all, much rather have the GTR. Why is that so hard to grasp?

How are they douches, you had long conversations with them then? Or do you form your opinion in all that time together when they are paying ?

Do you get lots of GTR owners coming in to compare them with?

It generally takes a certain attitude to be succesful enough to be able to afford this sort of machinery. Having a different level of drive and determination to yourself doesn't make somebody a douche.

Admittedly no I don't get many GTRs in, however I like to think that people dont buy GTRs as a status symbol unlike Porsches.

Are you saying I have no drive or determination? :rolleyes:

Its the fact they have so much of this "drive" that makes them idiots in the first place, looking down on everyone else that doesnt drive a car that costs the same as a house. Its generally the people that drive the sportier cars that make my life at work more depressing, and it just so happens a lot of them like to drive Porsches.

I've now decided that you're either just an idiot or a troll.

Thanks

My personal experiences mean I'm an idiot, cheers.

You tell me, you seem to have a chip on your shoulder against people who visit your petrol station driving expensive sports cars. I've heard similar gossip among petrol station attendants at my local filling station whilst I wait in the queue after the driver of something flash walks out, seems a common theme.

I didn't say you had no drive or determination, though obviously you don't have as much as they did or you'd be filling your Porsche up as well presumably.

If you hate your job so much why not quit and get a different job, perhaps it'll pay enough for you to have a Porsche as well?

But then that'd mean he has too much drive in life, becoming full of himself and looking down on others, then he'd be another smug git in an expensive car.

If changing job was that simple then I would have done it, but can we leave that please?

I don't have a chip on my shoulder, I just don't like Porsches...why is this so hard to understand? I think the design is outdated and they do nothing for me. We get loads of different supercars in and granted whilst some of the owners can be idiots, most of the idiots are driving a Porsche.

And Shaun, when I'm successful I wont be a smug git driving a Porsche, I'll be in a GTR

But we know its more than that. You don't simply dislike the styling, you hate what Porsche stands for and beleive, in your own words, that 99% of owners are 'douches'.

Like I said, I think its a subconcious chip on shoulder thing. You can't have a Porsche or anything similar so you resent those who do. Which is quite sad - I cant afford a 997 Turbo either but instead of deriding those that can as douches I respect them for what they have acheived.

Seriously, are you that dumb you cant see that I just dont like Porsches or are you just being an obtuse moron? I've said it before, I have no desire to own one. I know you're just doing this to be awkward like you usually do, but seriously can you not just accept that I don't want a Porsche? :rolleyes:
