I have an A6 Avant 2.7TDi, an Anthem, and I work in IT. Should I just end it all now?
Blimey Mboy, u must have a lot of time on your hands to right that lot, i haven't got time to read it all though thankfully
Sadly tonight, you're right... Was supposed to be on a date but she's got food poisoning apparently! 😕
I'd normally agree by the way, but have seen how much you've been posting on here lately, I KNOW you've got time to read it all... 😉
BigEaredBiker - MemberHow do people afford these cars?!?
It's not just about affording them, it's about wanting to spend the money on that in particular... A girl in my office saved up for years for her mini, she doesn't earn an awful lot but she made it work. She probably lives in a bin, mind.
OTOH I could afford it, but instead I drive a shagged-out diesel focus estate, because flash cars are boring. They don't weave through corners as amusingly, you don't feel comfortable driving them across a plowed field or up a freshly-shelled forest road, and when you drive them into your house you feel quite bad about it.

Nice car... Nice bike...
I wouldn't personally, though if you hate yourself that much you wanna end it all still, and the Giant is a medium, I'll send you my details so you can alter your will... 😉
Calm down mboy - its just a commercial! Just like you my favourite ever cars/ bikes have been the ones I could afford at that point in time. Try not to get wound up by what other people have and just enjoy what you got 😀

Here in lies a good point... Same as I used to spend all my money on cars, then motorbikes, these days I'd rather spend any money I had on Mountain Bikes (and getting to cool places to ride) than either. Just can't enjoy flash cars or fast bikes these days, not on the roads. And then there's trackdays, and quite frankly you need to be silly rich to even think of having a go at that! I've done one, bought it as a 30th for my mate and we went together. £150 to get on track, chewed through £80 of fuel (£40 on track, £40 there and back), about £100 worth of tyres and brakes... Mountain bikes are more fun on the whole still, and a whole lot more affordable.

I'm not wound up, brycey was! Without prompt, he's posted several posts on a couple of threads seemingly confused why I'm on a one man mission against Audi's and Oranges, so I felt the air needed clearing as I was just having a bit of a laugh!
I wouldn't personally
OK, I'll hang in there then. Or maybe I'll just go for a ride on my GS
Thanks mboy - its just a bit of banter after all. My budget is a bit tight as well 😉
Tomorrow I will be heading out onto the trails on my horse and cart with a Halfords Apollo FSR (Closest I could find to an Orange 5 and just as bulky!) 😆
mboy im confused now, i have a 3 series, an orange 5 & a cotic soul, are we having a fight or not? 😆
Dunno timc... You startin'? 😉
mboy, I just find the amount you've written on the subjects across the two threads a bit strange. You've made a lot of assumptions in the process as well, but they aren't worth losing sleep over, so we'll agree to disagree and both drive/ride off in to the sunset.
I think the fact that they willingly spent way over the odds for a Skoda in drag says all you need to know about Audi drivers.

Boredom! Lack of much else to do last few days tbh... 😕
Ha ha, fair dos. 😀
I've also only just noticed that those appear to be Orange Blood's strapped to the top of your Audi Brycey, and not Orange 5's...
In which case, fair do's, the Blood is a V nice machine and I don't understand why they stopped making it... May be too many Pivots for existing Orange customers to handle! 😉
Was chatting to one of the lads at Orange about it recently, they just didn't sell unfortunately. It's probably not an everyday bike in the UK (though mine is), and as the UK's presumably their biggest market the Five took the sales by the looks of things. IMO.
