I disagree, but it only *my* opinion. I would not lower myself to a discussion that is 'gutter-level'. A 'considerate and polite' exchange of opinions is great, and the majority of folk on these forum (fora?) do that. There have been a few times that a few have been so incensed that they have posted a reply which caused the thread to degenerate. But the dust eventually settled and all was well again. Yep, that's life.

Hmmmmmmm........

Bob,

I think that is what I just said.

I thought it was better to ignore someone (who goes down to the gutter as you put it) than to engage them (in discussion). But you disagree with this?

Agree with everything you say, but hey don't let them get to you. I do my own thing and ignore both silly remarks about Volvos and the bad driving of boy-racers (and of course, girl-racers).

Judgeman,

I am sorry to hear that you have received ridicule for the past x amount of years for owning a volvo. I have owned my S40 T4 for a year and a half and have not once been taunted by my peers about it, as it is a respectable performance car, if somewhat modest compared with some of their cars' bhps.
I don't consider myself to be immature; i endeavour not to insult other forum users and certainly I don't wish to advocate flouting the law and racing on public highways, hence i only occasionally do so on private roads. I would challenge the majority of drivers on here to deny that they haven't set the car loose for a short blast themselves. Several posts by members not known for their youth and stupidity have proved that by posting about beating novas on the way to the supermarket etc.( which i would never personally do or advocate, as you're far more likely to flatten some poor pedestrian there than you are on a quiet private motorway. )
If any of you use other forums, volvo and non volvo, you will find that other drivers do the same. Unless i'm a total maniac, if i don't insult people who wish to live quietly , then i don't expect to be sent to stand in the corner for flexing my cars muscles now and again.

Once again you speak truthfully Jacq. This is why we have the Volvo Speed Challenge, so that guys and gals can have a great deal of fun in safety without endangering the public at large. Check the bottom of page 21 in the latest "Driver" and if it prompts your interest get in touch with the guy whose details are included in the article.

All the best, Peter
