Headset yes, call of duty nah.
You wan't some helpful advice? Ok, this is a rare occasion where I will offer some helpful and constructive advice.
1. Up your budget
2. Lower your expectations
3. Stop posting threads crying about how you can't find a brand new car for the price of a corsa 1.2
4. Bite harder, you're doing a great job so far
Honestly man you're just making yourself look like a right joke, if you wan't an impreza then go and buy one, don't sit there in front of your 13" CRT monitor crying about not having one.
Merry Christmas.

yet again that's you making things up... I never said it wasn't like this then, I said you may find threads on how things used to be on here when enthusiasts helped each other out instead of posting rubbish on every thread that's started by someone

Powerwrx, I'm on nobody's side here.
Let me just say, you've been on here a long time and know how the forums works and how posters post. You started another thread on top of your other threads, so you know exactly how it's going to end up (not that you care you say).
Did you honestly think you was going to get good replys? As you don't seem to take the jokes from members (saying things like, how that relevant, it's not even funny etc etc) it's obvious you were looking for sympathy or help, even though you keep saying you don't.
What is it you actually want from members by posting yet another thread instead of just bumping your old threads?

like I say I don't want any sympathy, im not looking for ego boosting post counts im not attention seeking,im seeking a car.. my budget has gone up since I started looking and im pretty sure I can find one for the money I have..if it takes time it takes time im not bothered.
as for not handling the banter, if I cant handle it I wouldn't reply ide just leave it be..ive replied to most of the comments made good or bad, it will take a lot more than a couple of pictures or insults I can assure you.
so..take it or leave it as I say it doent bother me, Im going to continue my search for the car I want, don't like it? don't read my threads simple..

I asked for help in the beginning yes, but more or less got slated from the off.. some members did help out with my search which I am great full for, but for one reason or another im still looking ive never.. like ive said ive travelled to view cars, enquired about cars, made offers asked for help when buying (such as meeting part way) but it hasn't worked out so far, yes im picky, so what.. its my choice of what I want to spend my money on at the end of the day..if I want low mileage and tidy and at my budget that's what I want..there's no need for all the negativity towards me really..i post threads as a general incite as to where I am and whats happened in my search as does everyone else whether its a search for car or part, project or general here's what ive done with my car so far threads..things get reposted, bumped and new posts made everyday that's what the forum is for.. help and advice towards fellow owners who need and ask as well as a place to voice any issues with their car in hope of some guidance.. if someone is searching for a car then I for one would help if I could, and before you say it I know people have helped me already.. I defiantly wouldn't sit here writing negative posts towards them or what they were looking to spend their money on. like I say I don't want any sympathy, im not looking for ego boosting post counts im not attention seeking,im seeking a car.. my budget has gone up since I started looking and im pretty sure I can find one for the money I have..if it takes time it takes time im not bothered. as for not handling the banter, if I cant handle it I wouldn't reply ide just leave it be..ive replied to most of the comments made good or bad, it will take a lot more than a couple of pictures or insults I can assure you. so..take it or leave it as I say it doent bother me, Im going to continue my search for the car I want, don't like it? don't read my threads simple..
I guarantee you will get 90% positive comments if you keep your head down, continue the search and eventually find one and post on here that you got there in the end.
Good luck with the search.

I don't think people are objecting so much to your goal, or budget etc, more along the lines of replicating the same thread.

Good luck with the search.

people only get annoyed because each of my threads have turned into a slanging match for page after page which didn't need to happen.. none of the negativity was needed .
and thanks!

Then just bump the original thread, this is why you are being targeted now. You had quite a few good comments on original thread. It's not as if it's changed topic now is it.
P.s by replying to each and every thread, you are feeding a reply back. Ignore the bad posts and reply to the good posts.
Oh hang on. You've been on here ages so you know the drill. Good luck.
I've given you stick before (banter just like folk are doing here) but I don't hold grudges and I even offered to take you to see/get that 14k miler car as I was going down south and I didn't even get as much as a reply to say 'thanks for the offer' etc etc. and that made me think now in this thread, what a bellend you really are.
Good luck.

Powerwrx, you state your ''budget has gone up'' - do you mind starting a new thread and informing us all what that figure actually is and how far your search has progressed since you started this thread? We're all dying for daily, heck, even hourly reports.

Until the summer it belonged to me so I can vouch for the low mileage, full Extreme service history and generally excellent condition.

I enquired about the blue on yesterday and still awaiting a reply, black one I viewed about 2 mths ago when it was up for £8995 he accepted my offer so I went to view it, car was described as immaculate but it wasn't, NSR had a good 8" scratch on it NSR arch had a scratch with a dent, few other marks and dings all were spotted when the car was wet so I don't know what else there is on it when dry..
the hurst one is too much for me unfortunatly
