Does every thread about an Italian or French car has to be about you? It's just another thread turned into a boring time loop were no further insight is gained and the same few stories and cliches crop up again and again...Is this interesting to anyone else than you? It's good that you have so much spare time, but can't you make a topic each for the five or six topics you keep banging on about and keep the other threads for people who are acutally interested in the topic?
I enjoy the diversity of the forums and people from all over the world coming together and discussing all sorts of stuff, it's sad that over time so much turned into monologues triggered by certain keywords...
Jump to conclusions much? You need to go back and examine the thread very carefully - everything I posted was in direct response to someone else, and that sparingly. I didn't even bring up the reliability question - two of your fellow Euros did, right on the very first page.
And I'm not the only one noting the electrical problems! From literally the first page of the thread (which I'll note has NO comments from me on it):
I just hope they don't make it overpriced....and somehow I don't trust Fiat's engines
When's the last time Fiat actually made an unreliable engine? Rust, yes, electrical problems, yes. There's a reason cars like the Fiat Regata disappeared from the roads a decade before anything else made in the same decade. But unreliable engines? Not really.
My first post on this thread, despite discussing it with friends like MWF elsewhere, doesn't come up until page SEVEN of the current nine, almost two months since this thread started. That really shows me making this Italian car thread all about meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee - oh, wait, it doesn't. In fact, the only reason I bothered with this post is because someone mentioned my name - and I kept my comments specifically germane to the topic, how reliable the 1.4L engine would likely be (not very, if current North American experience is any example). You even commented on it at the time and MWF told you off. You'll find one more post on that day/page from me, pointing out that the 1.4 isn't going to be all-new for the 124 and that's it - then many other posts from other people.
Page 8? Lots of posts from other people, then one from me referencing the official "If RickHamilton Likes It, It's Doomed" forum joke. I had one more post, following up on BlindIo's post as a clearly defined joke, then the Fiat Fanboy Squad jumped me. If you expect me to sit back and not reply to that, even sparingly, you have another think coming - even so, it didn't become the "every other post by Spectre" until just now when you started whining about it. So you have only yourself to blame for that one.
If you check carefully, I believe that you'll find Cellos ALONE has far more posts to this thread (before this one) than I do. Most of the posts I made weren't even disparaging but making jokes in reply to others.
Does every thread about an Italian or French car have to be about
your incorrect perception that I'm trying to make the thread about me? Hm? You know, psychiatrists and modern medication can help with that unhealthy obsession thing these days...
