Being a contributor on this and various other similar sites on a range of subjects, there is one aspect of some forums (although its fortunately a rare occurence on this site) that I don`t understand. It`s the "telling everbody what I`ve got" bit at the end.
I can`t see how telling everyone you`ve a 2009 triple-turbochaged Range Rover Sport with a 55 foot Airstream double-decker caravan contributes anything to the debate.
Are we supposed to be in awe, does it mean we should mock the guy in a Trabant with a trailer tent instead?
No doubt someone will link size to sexual inadequacies but I`m not going there......
What`s it all about?????
On one car forum (which I find very useful for technical info) we have people saying what they run, its colour, trim colour etc down to the extras they have fitted, `chrome grill, Parrot hand-free kit, bag hook in boot` (??????).
Fair enough if a thread is related to a specific item which is relevent (questions on a particular car or caravan for instance) where knowledge and personal experience of that item is helpful, otherwise it just comes across as being crass.
To me a caravanner is a caravanner, doesn`t matter what they drag or what they drag it with, the person is more important than the equipment, and as such I don`t need to know or care what someone has.
I doesn`t make their point of view any more valid because they have an expensive outfit and feel the need to publicise it.
