    Is it you, could it be me?

    I often wonder who these anoraks who tut in closed circles are. I wonder if they have purist meets in secret locations, if they rendezvous at midnight in some out of the way car park comparing notes on vans/bugs they have come across and jotted down the hideous modifications some of us have made or the small misdemeanour we may have made when replacing a wheel nut with aftermarket copy's. I can see them gathered in a pub corner, half pints of bitter slowly being supped with spectacles halfway down their noses comparing notes..

    Do you know who they are or what they look like?

    You can tell which one he is.
    He's sitting over the other side of the bar, all on his own in a hand knitted tank top with half a pint of mild and a copy of readers digest.

    No offence meant to any tank top wearing, mild drinking, readers digest subscribers.

    I guess we are all purists in one field or another....be that ale, hi fi's or old VW's etc etc

    Personally I find people that tolerate poor function in the name of purity a lot weird, each to their own eh...

    It's like that ancient joke about putting a suppository up the back passage and tripping over it every time you went to empty the bins :D
