Well John, I´ve experienced about the same as you about youngsters believing they know everything, (I´m soon 60 yrs old), but in this case I´d say the truth is somewhere in the midle of what you two guys saying.

As opposed to you, who starts levelling childish and rude attacks on a person's character the moment they question your wisdom. I'm happy to have a spirited debate on any subject, but I find it very disturbing that your first response is to try and discredit me simply because I disagreed with you.Quote:

I guess John has a view a bit broader in years than most of us. WRC isn´t just last ten or fifteen years, it´s much more than that. For us older chaps rallying began in the 50´s and 60´s.
Though I have to admit John wasn´t very polite having said what he did.

Don't be the typical forum-slut and pretend you are innocent and offended.
Yoourr first response was answered IN THE EXACT TONE IN WHICH YOU POSTED: PURE CONTEMPT..
I responded nicely to Mirek saying "misinformed, I agreed, and said detailed information on real things happening is hard to find..
But you, pffffft. Your crybaby comments are so typical..
Only reason I even look in here IS TO LEARN from those who are actually involved....and there are some,too
.
But too many fan-bois like you. :rolleyes:
old age is a terrible thing... you are forced to look back every day for all the things that "might have been" and all the lost dreams, hopes kick you in the head until you realise your underachieving reality... so show some sympathy and compassion for the granddads of this life.
Per, you don't jneed to admit anything, you're innocent!Quote:

No, N.O.T. you´re misunderstood one thing. I´m old too. And looking back is seeing things that "happended" and try to learn something out from them. Like I said above when you´re older you´ve learned a lot more which you can relate to.Quote:

Have you in your miserable little life in a hole ever done ONE motorsports event?
(This being a forum supposedly related to motorsport it should be 'the medium of exchange"---start a thread where you tell us about Your first International event you drove in...
You will never know what it is to be a "has been" because you are not even a "never was", not even a "village driver"..
Just being a wee bit curious..Quote:

This place would certainly be waaaay more quiet than it already is, that's for sure.
To be fair, the people providing sound input here - I'd say very few of them actually are active in the 'vroom-vroom-turn-the-key'-branch of the sport. I'd much rather listen to a clever, well-informed journalist than some guy whose dad had money for 5 years and now lives on a forum!
And to finish of: No, I haven't done an international event personally, just a couple of nationals, so disregard all I've just said.. :laugh:
