Someone recently suggested that the car one drives says something about them. Do you agree? Do we buy and drive a certain car to project anything or are we completely practical or stylish? I love my little car. It is white, always clean and tidy. I vacuum it out at least once a month as I do not like dust. It is a great car for shopping and easy to park. If I could change one thing, there are two bars that attach to the trunk that hit the grocieries or shopping bags when the lid is closed. My friends say the car is cute. L

it's a Vectra for me, always been Vectras (don't like change)
its comfy as I do alot of driving 35,000 + miles per annum
the back seats are another story.......... they are full of all the rubbish I have thrown behind me..........what I don't see doesnt bother me
the outside is always clean though ......ahem !

much to the annoyance of anyone who wants a lift

Hey Guys are we back to the Snobs debate. A car be it big small ,or rainbow coloured It is a metal box that you put shopping in collect the kids from school, also handy to put a wet dog into after being in the sea. I thought I had left all the Snobs in the UK .Get a Life

I think this is meant to be a light hearted thread

I've got a clio, which has all the sratches and dents that I have personally done myself. Car was perfect when we bought it. Yes, I am very clumsy!!! Bit of a head up my arse type of person.

So does the car you drive say anything about you?


Yep ... it's dirty, a bit rough around the edges and needs a bloody good service

Don't interrupt me when I'm ignoring you!

I'd love to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my bum.


I like the 7 deadly sins - it's a good check list!

A car goes from a - b thats all. I bought a brand new hot hatch in '91 & when I sold it 18months later for less than half what I paid for it, convinced me there are better things to spend your money on.

Number 1 issue when buying a car is reliability, you want it to start first time every time when you get in it, what it looks like is totally irrelevent!

I drive a 4 x 4, 3lt injection, automatic, fully loaded Toyota truck.
It goes for miles, through, under and over everything, very comfortable, doesn't need much effort to drive...and its a pleasure to be in!!!!
