funny I know welsh people and you seem to be the epitome of a welsh tool.
JB, Huw etc are all welsh and they don't come across like you do. |

This doesn't come down to me defending ph2's against your ph1's.
I'm just doing what you do- stating facts and running everything else into the ground as i do so.
I really don't think you can say i have a big mouth! Myself, Neal and JB do our best to be nice to people around here even if some of them are too RSCish for our liking. WHat do you do? What do you say to them?
BTW do you care to tell us all who it was that was stealing the tech articles? |

The white one aint bad IMO.
Its a 19 - what more can i say! *runs and hides*
It has a little bit of tape on the drivers side rear arch to stop a scratch turning into rust. If im correct?
Seemed in decent condition, only problem i saw was the phase 1 bonnet vent leaks so the cam cover has had a little waterproofing done!
That black 19 phase 2 beast you have is in much worse conditon. It looks good but the rear arch is FOOOOKED! Dont look clever! |

On the ph1 - ph2 argument, i now prefer the ph1 purely due to the looks, they have grown on me, nothing to do with any mechanical or rust issues etc., whether there are any or not.
Only chamade I have seen in the flesh that doesn't have at least the tell tale brown discolouration peeping over the top of the sideskirt at the rear arch is my own... and that's a ph2. Doesn't mean I'm going to go around proclaiming that ph2s are any better or worse than ph1s though.
As for attitudes on here... people do seem to get fired up a bit too much. That was the original reason I came to dislike RSC so much.. the petty little squabbles and slagging matches that flare up over... essentially absolutely nothing. I can do without that, I really can. |

My point exactly, you can't proclaim them all as shit based on personal experience of a handful
Except for 306's Roger |

Generally owners clubs argue all day that their cars are better than other manufacturers, you know like 205's are better than fiestas mofo! Certain people here seem to damn their own marque in a vain attempt to elevate their personal favourite from a particular model line up above everyone elses and theirs! Stroll on... youve got too much energy for your own good! People are different, have different opinions, and different standards, live with it!
