[s-cars] Wrong table, simple pallete

[Michael Lardizabal]

Wow ~ " Porsche 911's are ugly "..........in the 25 yrs I've spent as a certifiable car nut I have never come across that opinion.
 
Even the most dyed in wool TPT folks I run into while I buy firewood for the winter ...love the 911's .   
 
Oh well, to each his own.....but again Wow ! 
 
FWIW, my secret cabinet has the top shelf lined w/ Oban,Dalwhinnie and Glenkinchie.

I said my piece in sprite of your opinion.? The fact we actually have a member
of this forum with an R8, makes your statement of 'ugly' seem to stand
out in any context...? kinda like pouring sprite on single malt scotch.? As I
see it, the S car list is the gentleman's table.? Treat it that way, it
could broaden your horizons and temper your manners.? Taka, I understand exactly
*what* you said, and found it well worthy of typical chat on the Audiworld
forum.? 

I happen to know Pederson, Esq quite well, and claim he demonstrates himself to
be an involved motorsport enthusiast.? In 17 years of my own Audi motorsport
involvement, I have never met you, or know you in that context Taka. So I can
only compare your 'opinion' to knowns, and think you are missing out on
more than just a seat at the big table.? Adding your spritely comments below on
the 911 to polish off the rest of your generous cocktail in a beer cup.... Only
suggests clearly "you just don't get it".? And now that you took
another careless drunken swing at Paulie's single malt of choice, I suggest
you've made your point, and my counter: staggeringly clear.

I already hid the Dalwhinny and put out the Black Label.

That's one hell of a dig, Scott.

I don't share your opinion of the R8, pure and simple. I also don't
share your opinion of the bloodline of the R8- it's a Gallardo and shares
nothing with other Audi's other than the engine. By that token, you can call
a Spyker C8 an Audi as well.


As I said twice already, I'm not talking about how the car drives, just how
it looks.

I always have the question of why didn't you buy a Gallardo in my mind any
time I see an R8.

I also never equated a Corvette with the R8- at the track it's close, but
not at the same level. In terms of refinement, far below.


Just to piss off the "I only like German cars and everything else is
crap" crowd, I'll say this- Porsche 911s are ugly too. I just love how
they drive and their provenance, so I'd still buy one, regardless of how it
looks.


Thanks for your $0.02.

Taka
