Taking the mickey out of 4cyls
« on: 15 December 2006, 11:31:18 »

Interesting subject I think - does owning one in the past allow you to take the mickey out of the little ones?

Is there any point, if meaning on the site surely if there was any mickey taking it would create an us and them vibe 4pot/v6 peeps which to me isn't good for the site.

Agreed Roy, but I think most of us on here are above that. At the end of the day, 4 pot or V6, they're still Omega's.  ;) :y

Just trying to state the obvious really :y Haven't seen any mickey taking so far which is good imo. Hence why I log on here the majority of the time.

That's the spirit of this site, we all have a common interest.

(Even though the 4 pots are the best) ;D ;D ;D

Martin - Dunno if this is in answer to my post about the stainless rear system or not.    :-?   If it is, there was no intention to badmouth or similar as regards 4 or 6 cyl cars.  If the same system had been for a v6, then I would still have posted.  It was for the (dare I say the phrase) 'chav' value and nowt else.

Anyhow, apparently small ones are more juicy...   :y   ;D

Nope nothing to do with that at all, just the gentle mickey take against AA and TD over their 2.2s

That exhaust was horrible!

I personally feel fine about this as long as it is gentle and in good humour :)

I think anyone would be hard pressed to take mickey out of AA's 2.2 - that car is an excellent example ;)
