No, I came here this month looking for PC advice, found the Motors forum and saw some great threads and in particular how DM didnt get hounded with his Bentley and Jag threads, so unlike other forums thought it would be ok. Being more than medium level networth is a pain on most forums as people hate you for it, and it seems to same here which is a big shame.

Im 30, not 21. No Wife, no kids, drink lightly, dont do class a's, dont eat heavily and dont smoke.

dont let a little a little ball busting of the new guy put you off, its quite a nice little forum with a good community of people.

People dont mind if you have a bit of cash and generally will be cool with you post photos of your cars and stuff just don't sound like your trying to brag and you will not get the harsh response a few have subjected you to today.

People here are also funny about watches, I dont post anymore when I get a new one as I just get the same old BS comments "my 50p casio keeps better time then your 8k rolex".....

People don't have a problem with you having money, it's the constant "price-dropping". You come off as either faking, or just love to brag. Neither of which are good.

Its not really bragging, when someone comes on and posts pics of their new car and says how good it is, how is that any different ?

How is this thread
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18269995&page=5

going to be any different to my thread when I update my weekend car with something like an F430 ?

Pics will be uploaded when im back home :)

Its just down to how you say something.

Make a thread with a photo of your shiny F430 and people will post saying how amazing your car looks and blow lots of smoke up your ass.

Post a photo of your F430 with bottle of crystal on the passenger seat and say you are just on your way back from picking up your 3k suite but stopped to get your 50 watch services but decided you needed a nice Montblanc and you will get flamed for being a showoff.

However if you find your self a American forum you can brag all you like and no one will say a thing:D

Montblanc are so overrated, personally I lend my clients my Stipula Avangaurdia Motel T Graphite to sign cheques over to me :)

But i know what your on about ;)

I really like the style of many of the montblanc pens, I have a couple of nice ones but I can see they are a little over priced for what they are as the standard black meisterstuck does look very much like the free pens you pick up with your goody bag at the Ideal home show.

I got a BIC thats one thing i could never spend much on, probably cos i cant write properly :D
 
Only reason ive got one is because i was given it as a 5 year service award at my company :p Its alright but im not sure i can see why people buy them themselves.
 
I dont think mines actually as good as a bic biro, it releases too much ink for my liking and produces very dark writing.

Please stop comparing yourself with DM, for not only were his posts of a much more substantial quality than yours from the off set, but I seem to remember the elite crew having their initial suspicions of him as well.
