What elitist drivel? I'm struggling to keep up with your fantasies. The original post was about a rare LHD V8 Tourer and the subsequent comments related to it's rarity. Perhaps you could elaborate on where the 'elitist' bit comes in.

Pretty insulting and totally uncalled for, a subjective comment and really not necessary, it doesn't add anything to the debate it just wildly criticises anyone who is prepared to pay over the odds for something they want by using a very old hackneyed phrase. Most people who buy a large screen TV could fall into this category, why use it in this context?

I have only owned this particular car for 29 years, and I wouldn't swap it for any LHD 75 or ZT V8.

I wish you would stop 'banging on' about how 'rare' your car is, you are almost starting to sound elitist, that must be the third or fourth post you've mentioned it, ever heard the expression 'reverse snobbery?'

That's about the only sensible thing you have said and something on which we can all agree which is why I cannot for the life of me work out why you have this fixation that
everyone who owns one of these variants is elitist and feel the need to make a 'funny' comment on every post relating to these cars dragging the whole post off topic.

Totally agree, I can't stand them either so why do you insist on hijacking every single post made about these cars with some 'amusing little quip?'

Where the hell did that come from? What justification can you possibly have for making that statement. Again, a very insulting comment made without any foundation whatsoever. I have never, ever 'bleated on about how good my car is' and certainly never 'looked down my nose at anyone.' Why would you make such nasty comments about people you know nothing about without any justification whatsoever? You really are sounding more and more like Donald Trump now, but whatever 'floats your boat' I suppose.

Probably couldn't care less.
I can only hope and pray that you read this and take the time to reflect on your wild accusations and assumptions. I am not elitist and do not think I or my car are better than anyone else's, I would be very interested to find out why you have made that assumption about me. You apparently think anyone who owns a V8 is by definition elitist but that's just stupid and that's your justification for hijacking all the posts about V8's is it?
