No, it's down to his manner - or at least that dictates how I treat him. Porkie doesn't brag, nor boast. Carl could have worked for it for all I care, but when someone gives it the 'big I am' then they're opening themselves up for ridicule.

161 IS faster than 155

How has this even turned into a debate?

Its not what car you have, or how you got it, its how you act that matters. If Porkie, to use a current example was to come on and say "check my fleet of awesome cars out that I own because I am better than all you potless wankers" then he would get cained off the forum I am sure, but he doesn't, so he don't.

And how many points are you going to get for that?

Bit below the belt I think (whether it's true or not)

Benni, weren't you technically "given" a car as well? Or at least, having one paid for?

I couldn't be more happy for you [seeing as you're a total stranger]. The one difference is your every second post isn't a comparison of your volvo to other cars, how slow they are in comparison and how tuneable yours is compared to them blah blah blah.

I don't begrudge Carl's dad giving him a car, paying the finance or lease or whatever has happened. I just find reading through the same replies with figures of BMWs doing quarter miles on every other post, a bit tedious. I wouldn't normally bother posting about it as I just ignore posts that don't interest me but it's cold and I'm bored and want a cuddle.

S1 John....

Carl is a LEGEND on Pistonheads...

Its an enormous huge huge mega site... and he made a BIG impression. It was probably THE funniest thread in the history of Pistonheads.

People STILL joke about 335d (mapped) at least once a day I reckon....

There are many many many things you have missed out on mate

What I find amazing, if you follow that link, and any other relating to Carl that the thread ALWAYS kicks off, even if Carl doesn't post much. He really seems to have a habit of irritating people.

He'd actually be a nice guy if he resisted banging on about that bloody car. You'd have thought he'd have got the message by now having been rinsed by just about every car based forum going!

Not half. They don't mince words or suffer from 'overmoderation' shall we say.

Twats like that give all BMW drivers a bad name though, sadly.

He really needs to get out more and find maybe a girlfriend whose name doesn't end in .gif

Is it the original 'Mapped' one? The one that started the whole thing off?

If you're reading this Carl, I genuinely wish you no hard feelings, but FFS get the message mate!

Carl was even getting smashed up on american BMW forums and the like.

he really is a global internet LEGEND

Quite proud I met him
