What the hell has having a picture of your car got to do with anything? It's probably not your car! anyway. Plus.......(here I go again)...
First word of a new sentence "and" capital letter "A"
"I've" always starts with a capital "I".
"I'm" always starts with a capital "I".
"Don't" has an apostrophe to signify you mean "do not"
"there" when referring to a person is spelt "their"
A little more time listening to your English teacher and you would almost be legible!!

You will have trolls on every forum - there are certain people who have a desire to simply get on the posters nerves.
Usually the first to pick a fault and then flame but are not very good at taking critique.
As for speeding, I think its a vague subject as it really depends on where and when you speed, and how. I am pretty sure 99% of the people on this forum do speed, but only do it in a controlled environment where they are confident of the situation at the time.
For example, you wouldn't speed down a 30 mph local road where there is potential to knockdown people as well as potentially causing a serious accident. Yet I see these kinds of ***** on a daily basis who think the road outside your house has changed into a formula one track.. with its added speed bumps for kicks.
Then you have the moron's who generally think they own the road and don't have the patience to sit in traffic, so they will simply pull out into the opposite lane and drive past as many vehicles as they can until they either crash head on into the apposing vehicle or manage to shoe horn their car into the next available space. These idiots generally drive Mercedes or BMW's and are almost always on a mobile phone while pulling of said stupid move.
Finally you have the ping pongs, almost always in a semi-fast GTi type car who think they are gods gift to driving. Usually found on country lanes, they will bob in and out constantly trying to overtake you, the 2 lorries in front of you and the small old lady in her fiesta who is pootling along at 10 mph... on a national speed limit road.
I hate my share of speeders as per above but what really annoys the hell out of me is having to deal with incessantly slow **** drivers who make up their own speed limit (usually well below the national speed limit) and then stick to that speed as if their life depended on it. What these drivers don't realise is, their very actions cause more problems like tail backs a mile long and as such create opportunities such as above:
1. Drivers ping ponging in and out but never really overtaking
2. Moron's in their bmw/merc/two jags/porsches playing dare with on coming traffic
All in moderation. I do like to drive fast, but I only do it:
1. Open country roads where its only me or a few cars at the most with no traffic build up in sight
2. Patches of motorways where I want to break away from traffic that is building up (due to a driver deciding to do 50 mph in the fast lane)
3. Special events like track days
4. Being chased by police
*last one is a joke*
Touch wood I have had a clean licence for a very long time and a virtually accident free time and I plan to stay that way. Its unfortunate but you can't just point fingers at one end of the spectrum - it works both ways.
You have ***** on the speeding end and you have the same on the other end who incist on driving 2 mph everywhere.
Where I have had accidents, its due to the above situations, first one involved an old age pensioner who decided to do a right turn into on coming taffic on a fast single carriage way.. result: I hit her car (which was stationary in the road) at over 45 mph resulting in one huge mess and one very luck, but soiled pensioner.
Last one involved a *****ng moron who decided he didn't want to wait in line like the rest of the traffic and pulled out into the apposing lane going up hill. I was coming the other way at high speed (national speed limits) and had no time to react. We both collided head on and I spent a long time recovering from my injuries of which there were many.
Moral of the story? stop procrastinating on every ***** thing someone says or does.. life is too short to be a **** all your life.

pmsl at this thread. everyone that owns a subaru breaks the speed limit at some point otherwise they would drive an everyday vehicle that is not intended for peformance use. i dont just have mine because i love the looks but i also love the performance. If you have a little battle with a evo/skyline or similar there is nothing wrong with telling other people. people who constantly moan at other peoples threads are ridicoulous. The amount of pettyness on this site is getting out of control and thats why so many people dont come back.

Thanks for that picture of your wife...it's always nice to have an image like that pop up on the screen when I'm at work. Funny, I always thought NSFW was always quite a useful tool. Mind you, there are plenty of tools useful or not on this forum at the moment.

LOL at this thread I can't believe that on a BBS mainly visited by 20-40 year old male car enthusiasts that we actually have a post complaining about a picture of a rather shapely young lady who whilst scantily clad is at least clad. I have truly seen it all now

Most owners of scoobs etc have good driving records or they would never be able to insure there cars.........
All in all, they are poor drivers with an ego problem. Makes me wonder if I'm in the minority?
So any thread that I see mentioning any form of race or excessive speed; I imagine that the curlprit drivers are the same ones involved in these threads, and thus I have no qualms about informing them of the fact that they have a phallus as their main facial feature placed upon their forehead.

Personally I think it's the conflicts and comedy that make this place fun and interesting.
I could be accused of being a troll because I often pop up on theads such as ''How many miles to the gallon, or Clio V impreza I kicked his ****'' etc. It's fun to poke the bee's nest with a stick every now and then
What you wont find me doing is name calling or insulting. That's where the line is crossed in my mind.
So will I stop trolling or whatever you want to call it? No I wont, it's fun and I don't take it too far. After all it's not real life is it .........

Not sure if its the size of scoobynet being too big, but this place does kinda lack a community respect for eachother. (might be the minority/majority row though.. not taken notice of most of the **** or who posts it tbh)
Generally you will find the people criticising have hidden reasons for doing so, and/or are just trying to taste the ability to have a life they could actually enjoy (where they wouldnt need to constantly try to just moan and talk sh*t to the genuinely nice guys on here)
Dont let it get to you mate... due to its size their are more trolls here than most other forums.. but i think you will find the 'Moron to Community Member' ratio is pretty much the same as anywhere else.

Dump valves just bugger up ur fuelling, make the car run unevenly and make u sound like a **** to anyone that doesn't wear a cap the wrong way round.
Magic tree's aren't really magic you know - and recently have you noticed they don't last as long so now they are even less magic than ever !
but good god how I love a blast now that it's been decat and remapped. Speed is a fantastic buzz, inappropriate speed kills ppl - usually innocent bystanders.
Whinge, moan, groan
