Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

Wow, that is the nastiest carzone advert I've seen yet. I think I've seen this car around actually. It's actually quite subtle when you see it in real life - honestly.

I know this car, it is seen regulary around Rathfarnham Dublin 16. It is owned by an asian guy. He has a nice looking gf too. I have stared and laughed at this many many times and even took pictures for memorial reasons.

What a 100% plonker this guy really is thats all I will say!! Absolute cream of the crap I have ever seen on the road. He drives it with pride good god.

Yeah, I've definitely seen it so, not that there can be too many others like it. Have seen it a couple times driving through Ballsbridge as well.

He will never ever sell that car, he will have to pull off all that crap and fix the interior before anyone would take it seriously. 3,200 wow thats some serious money for any Rover at this point in time. You would get a nice TOMCAT in the UK for that money

Any chance you could get me an 06 75 for €3200? Preferrably the diesel but for that money I'll take any engine.

That car was up for sale about a year ago I remember.

Could you just imagine handing over €3,200 of your hard earned for that yoke?

It should get this type of treatment (Unpinp your auto):
