I wish I could get onto the forum at a more reasonable time, but I always seem to be on after 11pm.

BUT I keep coming back.

Does anyone else share my sense of addiction at this site?? You know, the bit where you get twitchy if you don't look at it for more than a couple of days?? Just in case someone has a tidbit of useful information.:)

I'll be back!

I'm a bit surprised that we are not getting more info out of Japan about how the cars are running there, or am I missing something on this site.

I'm lucky, fast internet connection in work, and enough time to keep up to date a couple of times a day. (What addiction!:D )

I too am addicted (so my missus says), I check in the day at work and in the evenings at home. (what a sad person!)

If I'm away, I really miss the chatter and news.

Will we be so keen when we get our cars??

They'll be a sudden flurry when it's gone dark and no-one can no longer see us posing in our new car on the first day (which will be at about 15:30 in late October:( )

We'll all come online just to say how happy we are and ask a couple of technical questions on our mind.

1 week later when we've put our run-in mileage on we'll all be back on to talk about 0-60 times and how sweet the engine sounds at 9,300 RPM!!!:D :D

Im on at work and at home and yeah like some of you guys wife thinks im sad.

Although one point in the wifes favour she is no ordinary wifey style. She loves TVR's Aston Martins etc adores the 8 but like the rest of us its getting itchy feet at having the piss taken out of us.

I wouldnt like to meet her in a dark alley when shes got a bee in her bonnet.

Hi there, my name is Chris and I am a Forum-a-holic.

They say the hardest part is admitting you have a problem.

I spend all day checking the forum at work and then in the evening when I get home.

Chris :D

Is there a known name for forum-a-holics like alcohlism or is it just that desperation factor creaping in.

HOPE! and despair seem to be so much aligned particularly here.


Funny how we all go through the highs and lows together.


think we should when we get our wheels have a forum-aholic day at the pub and can test two theories in one.

There was a fearture on the web(tomshardare I think) had a big merk 500S something with 10xmobile phones to provide near 100k bandwidth to the net lol. Must have cost a fortune.

I think it is only a matter of time before vehicles can link into various wireless networks as they pass along the road.

I am sure our IT contributors will be more aware of developments in this field.

Personally all I can comment on is the roads.

It is very addictive once you become involved in a forum.

I read this one, scoobynet and now s2ki daily as well as a couple of other non car ones.

Its easy to spend everal hours on the computer at home in the evening. My wife thinks im either sad, or having an affair with someone over the internet. Neither of which is true :)

I see that. Does the N1 have any specific meaning. (ie my M1 to be written as MI being MY).

On other forums, posting for post count sake is known as "whoring" and those that do it are "post whores" :)

Not that anyone here does that of course :D

Based on that description with my three posts above I must be a post whore.

Oops I have done it again.
