Pistonheads for my sins.
I have a funny relationship with it – I joined about 10 years ago now I think because it was good for business, I was working for a finance company and specialised in £40k+ cars and touting for work online was revolutionary (for us) back then.
But I left that industry 6 years ago and still keep hanging around there and I don’t know why – there’s a good and sometimes hilarious cycling section, it’s mostly Road based which I don’t do, but the people who run the site are actually pretty pro-cycling so when the inevitable “I hate cyclists” thread starts it get punted to the pedal powered section for a mauling.
But really it’s a total den of arseholes, arrogant, self-serving arseholes – if you believe them (and personally I think 80% of them are full of shit) they’re all rich public schoolboys whose political leanings are somewhere between Nigel Farage and Nick Griffin. The News section is particularly bad, I’ve never read such mean spirited, cynical crap in my entire life, some views on there can only come from the minds of someone who was badly tortured as a child – they’re all surprisingly insecure for such supposedly wealthy, successful people.
But I can’t help myself, I try to pitch in sometimes and offer a more balanced, positive spin, but it just fells like trolling sometimes.
