Nothing's wrong with it.
I think the point is that you're more likely to find such a person on the
Porsche list
than you are on the Triumph list. I think the message is the Triumph list
includes
a lot of friendly people who like to help each other and enjoy sharing
information
with each other about a marque they love while some other list might contain
a higher percentage of people with another agenda. Personally I've
participated
in some other non-lbc automotive lists (not the Porsche list) and i find the
Triumph
list, on the whole, to be populated by an altogether more pleasant, friendly,
helpful
and down-to-earth group of people. I'm sure we all enjoy the uniqueness of
our
marque, but I don't think anyone drives or restores a Triumph for its snob
appeal.
Is that true on the Porsche list ? I doubt it.
Before anyone turns on their flamethrower, let me hasten to add that I think
Porches
are great cars and everyone I've ever met that drives one is a nice person.
If
there's a bunch of people out there who want to buy and sell spots in the
line
to get a Boxster, I think that's just fine and I'm glad they have a place to
do it.
If I could afford one I might like to have a Bxster myself......come to think
of it,
if i came into that kind of money I would spend it on a few more Triumph
projects.
Oh well.
