That's exactly what I think (and my point) - can't you read?

Mike,

We're talking Ginge here...what do you expect from someone that corrects others with misinformation PMSL!

Ginge! do you honestly care what Jim thinks of your car?? People that live in glass houses spring to mind...

I'm only what some people would perceive as being one step up from that, as I come from a 3-bed semi bungalow, and my parents owned the same car for 15 years, and never owned a new car until the early 90s .

Background is nothing to do with it .

mike i agree to a point, but i aint the only one who thinks this im sure

as said though i dont generally care what people i dont know think, but people i DO see a few times,,,, and think that little of me due to my car ect does affect me somewhat

maybe its self inflicted perhaps as for years i never bothered about it, just these days it seems to worry me

btw i have NO issues growing up on a council estate, im PROUD of it infact cause i started when i did on my own, i never had any form of handouts ect ect ect

ok these days ill admit i have a little more comfort due to other things but when i first had a kid it was all me on my own ( and the missus obv) who had to sort out the deposit ect and we still dont get handouts by family apart from towards our little one

anyway thats enough of my ranting, im off to the bank

It never has, but Ginge like to mention how he's from the hood in every thread ever, even though thousands of people on here prob came from similar backgrounds.

Mike, trackdays for me in Jim's car are "ok" but no more than that as I drive it at 8/10ths as it would be a big deal to jim if I binned it.

Where as a cheap track toy, I would drive at 10/10ths

MUCH more fun.
