Do 944 owners post the most?

[John Sims]

Just as a matter of interest (spurred on by the magnitude of Fen's posts []) I had one of my posting league table analysis sessions. This could also be titled "Who is the Biggest Anorak"

Top of the heap is Helen with 5783 (no surprises there then)
In at Number Two Mark Bennett 4914
At number Three Melv 2627
Only 100 posts behind at number Four is ME (2523)[&:]
And only 30ish behind is Driver944 (2491)
Fen is in at Number Six with 2308 with a comfortable lead on
Bones at Seven with 2050

So half of the top six posters are 944 forum members (who also contribute on Titanic [8|]). I declare us to be sad anoraks who would probably be far more successful if we focused our time else where......Like that's going to happen. []

Now I think about it Helen has a 944 and appears here quite often, so that's 4of the top six then.

I think what you mean, John, is "are 944 owners more gregarious, charming and free with advice to their fellows (even the ones with Boxsters [8D]) The answer is of course that we are. I think I should be able to be in a podium position by Christmas but first and second are tough to catch. I have 2,016 on SEAT Cupra Net, 287 on 968UK and 317 on Rennlist. Can I pool them for a second place total of 4,929 (including this one) [8D]?

I've owned two 944's.
Does that count? []

I think we can see a trend developing here. All we need is for Melv to confirm that he has had a 944 as well, and the theory is proved. []

I was about to discount Mark as there seems little merit in having had two 944's and sold both of them, but then as he has been pondering getting another one that would redeem him - if ever he needed redemption.

That's going to require a straight 2:1 ratio of posting over me for the next 200 posts at least. Not an easy task, but certainly do-able. I seem to be making it easier by posting two answers on one post as it is.

I've not come up against that one yet.

That is remarkably astute. Actually I got thrown out of the library because I'm too poor to buy soap and they said I smell so now I have to hide in a neighbour's garden shed using their electricity and wireless. Obviously "neighbour" is stretching things as nobody in the ghetto I can afford to live in has wireless. I'd certainly rather you think that than that I didn't mean anything negative I might have said about the Boxster or water cooled "911" atrocities. I actually like the chilli pepper though - well so long as it has a turbo under the bonnet like the only decent Porsches. Have fun now...

He has....[8D]

If anyone has a CHEAP one that is mechanically (and structurally) sound, but maybe a little tattered then that's what I'm looking for.
I do not want to be taking someones concours pride-and-joy car and stripping it for a track toy!

................... I reckon you 944 boys post the most because you're all so poor, none of you have jobs and all you do is sit behind your pc's in the library with the other dossers and post boring stuff about your boring little cars.....

How rude! []

But it could be that:-

a.) We are so rich, because we didn't waste our money on an inadequate car.

b.) We are that good at our jobs we have time to type on the forum while others try to catch up.

c.) We are that laid back that we don't care any way.

 

[Fen]

Must be C for me then, or at least a modification of it: "I am going to find out at the end of the month when I will be made redundant and I don't care about work" Could be a touch of B as well of course [][] Can't be A; if I could find someone to reimburse me for all the receipts for parts, (non-service) labour and the original purchase of my 944 I could buy a new Boxster S. Of course there is more chance of somebody actually reimbursing my recepits than me spending the money on a Boxster if they did...[]

Melv had an S2, so that confirms the 944 posting theory.

Sadly pop pickers, I think I shall be dropping down the Top Ten as now that I work for myself I no longer have 12 hour nightshifts to get through with little else to do except be a forum junky.

I need to get a wireless hub installed in my van so that I can keep up during the day [], actually its amazing how many unsecured wireless networks it picks up as I drive around []

Alas by the time I get home you lot have already answered most posts

It doesn't seem to have hampered Fen and I [].
