I've spoken to Fox a fair on MSN, albeit quite a while ago. He's a nice enough guy as far as I'm concerned although I can also understand how he gets peoples backs up forums.

As for the BMW stuff, I used to be a hater too. I don't know why, but I just never liked the "stereotype". But when we were looking for a car the 5 series just seemed to fit the bill and I'm really glad we bought one. I'm glad that I could put my views to the side and judge the car for what it was and not what I thought the driver might be like

It's totally changed my opinion on LOTS of stereotypes.

I get so much stick for driving a BMW and I get fed up with it TBH as its totally not justified. I happen to love driving my car and it gets me from A to B with ease. I am not a total fanboy, but I went out and bough a newer Alfa Romeo, but couldn't bring myself to replace my bimmer so sold the Alfa to my brother.

My BMW is 10 years old now and runs as sweet as a nut. Yes parts are expensive, but so are Porsche, Merc and Fiat parts. I see a greater percentage of tossers driving around in Fords than BMWs so does that mean that the reason people pick on BMW drivers is because they are jealous themselves?

The other thing that hacks me off is the idiots that slate BMW because they see everyone else doing it. I mean FFS, get an opinion of your own! "Im so uncool, I know I'll look like the rest of the crowd and slag off BMW, then everyone will like me and accept me for the idiot I am"

As for Fox.... well, the guy replies with an extremely abrupt and condecending remark in one of my posts over there and because somebody stood up for me at the time (I hadn't even replied by this point) he then accuses me of causing trouble by not wording my post correctly, even though there were more than a few who pointed out that if he had read the post correctly, he would have got the meaning. Anyway, he's done it more than once to me and was basically a condecending nob to me in Swansea last year so he can please himself, I won't be putting him on my Christmas card list or posting over there anytime soon.

There are a couple (I could name 2) of people that wee me off over there in the motors forum, and very many that plain ignore me as I'm female and therefore know nothing about cars. But that is going to be the case in any forum or community really so you kinda have to take it in your stride.

I'm sure MB knows I hate the MINI in general, but have a fairly valid reason having been in the Classic Mini scene for many years. Lots of people don't think I should drive a mk1 MR2 for numerous reasons. If we all respect that people have opinions and reasons then we would get a lot further in life!

Well, I hope that made sense. I guess I'm trying to say pretty much what MB was saying in one of his earlier posts, all us petrolheads love our cars and take things personally when other people don't share our opinions, when really they don't mean it as a personal attack.

I've set myself up for alot of things though as I seem to own the sort of cars that people either love or hate!

I don't want to be confused with the numpty jump on the train brigade.
I am totally indifferent to anyone elses car and am a little to long in the tooth to jump on any band wagon. I may injure myself jumping anyways.

My thoughts/opinions are these;
Good car but overpriced and overweight. Top marks like the M series are without doubt kin amazing motors. Standard ones are family saloon cars and should be seen as such. Certainly not the sort of car i would get passionate about.
On the other hand there top end coupe i would pull one off over any day of the week no matter how cold it was outside. Not the little gay z series ****ter the top mark coupe. There is a silver one down the road that gives me wood every time i see it.

As for the kind of people that own them WTF WTF WTF WTF.
All that crap is well over my head and i just don't get it. People are people to me and that is Not decided by what car they drive.

Just thought I would post over here, as I didnt want to be the one to break the news, that would be foxs job..
This afternoon at the Rolling Road day, he got a bit out of shape on a corner (possibly showing off a little but UNconfirmed) and placed the car neatly sideways into a ditch
As far as we know he is ok.

hmm
young driver, high power RWD car, I am sure thats something he ALWAYS recommends against! how ironic.

I sincerely hope he is ok
