Been on the pistonheads forum today, there are some really smarmy people with some bad attitudes which analyze what you say rather than being helpfull and honest

makes me happy im a member of this forum

I'm on PH a LOT and it is full of some great people, but there are many people on there well worth avoiding.

Have you joined any BMW forums yet? I find BMW Land to be the best one.

Yep was the best BMW forum I found...

PH is a great place but like real life you get all sorts on there from right across the motoring spectrum.

AO is a great place to visit - and now as a non alfaowner it's why I still regularly find myself on here...

Re: wow the people on the pistonheads forum have bad attitudes

I've become a regular poster on PH and most of the people I converse with our decent folk, however there are alot of pricks on there as well,

It depends where you are posting. I post within the American Muscle, Kit Car and Alfa pages and to be honest they're probably a better bunch than the BMW, Honda and Renault groups, No offence though,

Re: wow the people on the pistonheads forum have bad attitudes

I use to love pistonheads. but when ted sold it it went down the pan. There have always been cranks on PH but it used to be that Ted was the boss if he didn't like you then you where out!

Now we have some very nice chaps running PH that they are not as respected as ted. Since then what I call all the true petrol heads have left one by one (people like Wedg1e)

I only look at the Italian section and the Scottish section now. I don't think you can have a proper conversation on the P&P you certainly can't ask for advice anymore with out just getting useless rubbish posted. and I really hate the fact that even if you mention a woman you get "This thread is useless without pics" Just wish half of them would find another website do a spot of "self satisfying" and then come back and post something useful.

The tacky adverts are degrading too.

Have you found a thread that really helped you maintain your 166? Please PM me the link!

Then again Stu, we've had a few 'This thread is useless without pics' comments on here, I hate that phrase,
