Exactly that. So in essence I have seen cars and what was stated "clearly the only connection with motoring" is in its self and absurd thing to say. So irony is there, but somewhat misplaced by you.

Uh huh.

And my point was it was ironic that you were using a phrase that meant "carrying an argument carried to such lengths that it becomes silly or ridiculous", given the lengths you've went to on this thread to avoid having to admit you're wrong.

Topdaddy, its bemusing when you are pulled on a statement you've made, such as the "top spec cars are better" comment, then you chose to ignore the responses, but yet you feel you can debate the nuances of the use of a latin phrase?

Should you not stick to (a) answering the responses in hand, and (b) not stretch yourself to another language, given your lack of grasp of english?

It really doesn't help much.
Why does that suggest there is more than just a body kit? Body kits can go for much more than that alone.
because the price of your premium doesnt directly correlate to the values of the items in/on/of your vehicle, and without knowing what you pay as a premium I would guess that this is quite a large increase
The distance I have to travel is very relevent - driving over 300 miles just for sports seats is very impractical - especially when working 5 days a week and with other commitments at the weekend. thats not relevant to if a car is better than another, you could drive 5 miles and not like the seatsThen, what if something goes wrong and I have to take it back to the dealer?
again that doesnt make a car better, especially if its the same make and model just purchased somewhere more convienient. They would be the same car but the dealer would be more suitable.
And I'd really rather you didn't repeat things, they were bad comments in the first placebad comments?. Repeating them would just be saying the same bad comments over and over again, I'm sure we'd all rather you said something that adds to this thread.




Followed by...

its clear you struggled with that. Its seems a waste of money to purchase a sport over the model you have because you tell me that the only difference is a body kit. Now Ive stated it twice bfore but here goes, i dont know about the Jazz. So im taking what you have said as gospel. Therefore it does not make financial sense to purchase the sport model with the only return on this investment being a body kit on a unsporty car, assuming what you said to be correct
EDIT:

Finally, no matter what you think you see, I'm not struggling at all. It's like arguing with a 5 year old. You, however, appear to have been struggling since your second post.

you dont think you are struggling but its being percieved that you are, it is very much like argueing with a five year old.;)

TD, I realise you are getting your kicks from trolling and I know your command of English is depressingly poor and clearly peck away at the letters on the keyboard with one finger with a thesaurus in your other hand to give yourself some kind of faux status, but if you can't use the English language, why mess up Latin? Flick through Google and see if you can find, "reductio ad absurdum". I'm pretty sure that is what you were groping for.

What I wrote surficed. And thumbs, not fingers;)

Theres that strange noise again! Are you mid coitus? More latin I know but seemed appropiate.
My arguement was very simple in its nature and not taken to any lengths at all even when asked. So, no thats not ironic, the arguement its self has been take to great lengths but isnt absurd, although tedious.

Ah right yet another example of how in your mind this thread is a success for you, as opposed to reality?

Im not sure how a thread can have "success". You mentioned you were winning earlier. Again Im not sure how a thread is competitive.

It is a fair increase. But, more than anything, it is an increase. With the only change in specification being unwanted. Why would anyone pay more for a car that's worse?

Oh, but it is relevant. If the car 5 miles away had worse seats, then I would have to weigh that up as well. Is it worth driving further to get better seats? Given that that model is rarer, its likely that my model would be only slightly further away, so in this case, yes it is worth getting that one.

To show that distance does make a car better - if you had two identical cars, one 5 miles away, one 300 miles away, which would you buy?

As for your last paragraph, I'm not sure what that offers to be honest, other than agreeing with me indirectly but saying that I very clearly struggled with that. I'm not sure what the point of that is, you are clearly agreeing with me, yet writing it argumentatively.

But hey, I'm not the one who's taking someone elses arguments and using them against themselves. Using my own 5 year old comment against me is the forum equivalent of saying "I know you are but what am I?"

As for the fact that I'm clearly struggling... :rotfl:

The past few posts of mine have been directly following on from that.
I doubt anyone else considers it answered.

There's also the issue of the heater, the whole point of this thread. Or has that been answered too?

Or is it simply that you cannot answer them, so you pick something else to argue about, knowing that you are wrong, but it buys you some time until you find something else to argue about, causing an endless cycle?
