    To be fair, I don't have issue with the dreaded derv.....just can't get excited about one ......so no offense intended to the other environment wrecking, smog producing residents who already populate the forum () .just wanted the OP to rebalance her (Hanna?) expectations against the realities of a performance orientated forum when your dribbling over a D2.

    Can you get a RON box for one of them....?!

    I respectfully disagree, Sir.

    It takes a concerted effort to piss this many poeple off every day

    Guys

    Sorry to go all Buzz Killington on the party, but can I just chip in with a thought here?

    Just because this is a performance oriented forum, I think it's a real shame that the place has become a bit 1 dimensional because of that.

    Personally, I now use the site for general tech help as I've never been able to indulge the tuning side on my T5 that I'd originally planned (change of circumstances etc) and to be frank, quite often I'm wasting my breath (key strokes) asking on here. So maybe I should go and join VOC or something, but I've never been compelled to go to the Dark Side. Credit where it's due, LeeT5 is in my eyes the most helpful contributor to the forum these days for general tech stuff. I think a lot of members who are happier posting general banter have the knowledge to be more helpful but for some reason they just aren't compelled to do so any more.

    The OP's question was a bit stupid, in a "how long is a piece of string" way, and I don't see anything wrong with the answers that were given. But being snobbish and taking the piss is going to put off new people joining or contributing, which is cutting off your nose to spite your face. This forum is quiet enough already and has declined since I joined and it'll continue to go that way if people are made unwelcome.

    That's my 2penneth. As you were....

    I'm going to have to disagree fella....this is a performance orientated forum, the clue is in the name....you yourself run a performance Volvo - just because you haven't modified it doesn't change the fact that a T5 is a performance orientated car.

    The D2 or it's ilk are never in a million years going to be able to pull the skin off a custard no matter how many shiny bits it has in the cabin.

    That's not elitist or exclusionary, it's just a fact.

    I only pointed the OP in the direction of VOC as they are NOT an performance orientated forum so the chances of him/her getting the answers to the "how long is a piece of string" questions are more likely as there's a much better chance of finding a D2 owner over there than here who would be able to help.

    In all honesty, if this forum (like many others not FB based) is struggling for numbers then I'd rather it went the way of the dodo than be expected to answer inane questions about the running costs of cars that I, and I suspect many others, couldn't give two hoots about.

    Cheers, Morgan

    Morgan, I do take your point. I wasn't so much referring to the specifics of this topic and the question asked - in fairness it was such a vague question I'm not sure any answer on any forum would have been sufficient. Just a general observation about forum ettiquette.
