Right, that's it. I've had enough. Well, more accurately, I haven't had nearly enough, but don't stop me now. Unless the moderators and administrators on this forum take control here I'm going to make a formal complaint about the cruelty and gratuitous sadism I experience on this site (and there's no point in going anywhere else for it). Oh it's alright for you smug, rich bastards with your highly detailed, lowered, mono-blocced, blood red, Cosworthicated 190's. Yes, it's no good you pain-merchants over there in the distant parts of this Untied (that can't be right, surely? Ed)Kingdom looking all innocent - you know who I'm talking about. All these lurid, glossy photos spread across my screen, with pages and pages of salacious comments which cause the blood to rush away from my head (an effect normally only associated with watching Lorraine Pascale - her of the well-filled black bra - on BBC 2). And then, after hours of dribbling on my keyboard, you choose to inflict the most shocking and unthinking pain by inserting just 4 little letters at the end of the for-sale thread : S O L D. It's gotta stop, I tell you, it's gotta stop. |

No, it's OK, it's not you. It's another one I should have bought but was just in time for too late. And you have a very nice looking sample of Mercedes' finest there. Edited by asquared, Mon Feb 14, 2011 10:53 pm.

Probably. But it'll be OK I prefer an auto gearbox anyway. (he says, lamely...) Actually, it's a lesson I never quite learned: don't try to amuse when you haven't got the talent; otherwise people just laugh at you. However, I will be keeping a closer watch on the for sale ads. from now on |

me too, and particularly liked :- "don't try to amuse when you haven't got the talent; otherwise people just laugh at you." Reminds me of the bob monkhouse joke. "People laughed when I told them I wanted to be a comedian, well they are not laughing now !" I think once we pass around the instruction manual to your sense of humour it will fit in just fine

Well there's one effective way to find out: put the details up here and I. for one (that's 0.7 surely; Ed) will give them an intense scrute. Edited by asquared, Tue Feb 15, 2011 11:20 am.

I'm pleased to say I got it as well (or should that be concerned?) and lol'd at post no1. Finding a good 190 can be a tricky business... And a case of spending 18 hours a day on the for sale section and the various online sites! A case of 'you snooze you lose' I think... |

Yes, I like the aphorism. Trouble is that at my age the afternoon nap has a highly seductive siren call, given the fact that I am usually up to 2am most days in my hobby of trying to attain the skill level of the average young Chinese mind. (Just as a long, boring, aside, if you have young children and you aren't arranging for them to receive courses in conversational Mandarin you are seriously limiting their future. Finding courses in what it really means to be a citizen of the Middle Kingdom is beyond the reach and range of any/all our current UK education establishments). The biggest issue I find in hunting the elusive, progressively rare and possibly heading for extinction, animal called 'a good 190' is that there ere fakes/impostors - some of them genuine fakes too - all over the country. But never near me, for any given instance of 'me'. You can wear yourself out asking damn fool questions - and receiving matching responses - until you finally succumb to the magic of that most beguiling of words: "immaculate". And therein lies total internal madness of the 'How could I have been so stupid to...' variety. They used to ask of me 'Is there no beginning to this man's talent?'; in the matter of '190E searching' it would appear not. |

Me? I've got no justification to bitch about anybody else, only about my own ineptitude. And who could I bitch and moan to anyway, aside from you lot who don't seem to take offence easily. Now there's a thought: perhaps I should keep pouring out this drivel until one of the less patient forum members reaches her limit of endurance, snaps and puts a really 'must-have' 190 to me in a PM.... |

To bitch or not to bitch, that tis the quest. Anyway good thing's and all that. I waited some time for mine and whilst I could have been distracted by other flirtatious tart's I kept the faith and was rewarded.
