Ash, a lot of forums are set up so that you have to pick one of 8 standard or one of you own choice in order to register. 😉 ??

Well you got me there, as long as the forum has its own muscle to enforce.

If you're new to Omegaforums, Welcome! and please set an avatar or we'll do it for you 😜 The next avatar theme will be...

"Complete piece of shit budget American cars from the post-1973 oil crisis era"

First off the list is the 1989 Geo Metro:

You have been warned!

Glad I set my own. Whew

Oh nice 997! As a BMW fan I have a begrudging respect for 911s, I just wish they'd put the pedals in the right place then I'd seriously consider buying one 😜

Thanks.

BTW with the pedal comment, in Australian RHD 911s, for some reason they offset the pedals about 4 inches to the left presumably so the clutch clears the wheel well or something, on 997s its a bit annoying and you sometimes reach for the accelerator and end up with your left foot stuck between the gas and brake pedal, but on 993s and earlier its much worse, and you actually sit semi-sideways in the car to drive it, one of the downsides of living in a RHD country I'm afraid =(

Spent some quality time with a mate's C4S not too long ago and it takes about half a day to adjust to the fact that everything's slightly out of allignment

You could always drive a Holden! ;-)

Does the BMW footwell have the same issues as a Porsche?

Or I could wear a Seiko too 😜 My dad has one of those tubs of crap, no thanks, I'll stick to my 330CI 5MT for now, and since BMW are unlikely to make another naturally aspirated flagship non-M I might have to keep it a long time.

Hey, I have two Seikos, one modded, but both are beaters. LOL

I've got a couple too, they're the type of watch I wear when taking furniture to the dump, and the Holden is the perfect car to tow it there =D

Wow, that's exactly like mine, except a little more porcheish and a little less Volvoish. 😁

Why do the US 911s have to have those boobs on either side of the license plate =\

"bumpers" Too many idiots here don't know how to park, let alone drive.

You need to see "city parking" to believe it. You'll probably think I'm joking, but a lot of people parallel park by backing in until they bump into the car behind them then crank the wheel the other way and pull forward. There are even bumper covers that hang out of the trunk:
