    Some punctuation, full stops and a spell-checker and we might know what the hell you're on about...

    It doesn't matter what your missus drives, a Skyline is a guys car in the same vein that a starlet is a grannys car. Neither means that you HAVE to be that
    stereotype to drive it. Guys sometimes drive Micra's, but that doesn't make them any less girly, no more than a girl driving a Skyline make it any less Manly.

    On a related note, the current model Range Rover appears to be driven almost exclusively by women. Does this make it a girly car, I wonder?

    Then I guess you don't really get the point of the car.

    Girl's cars have "AA breakdown assist stickers" for when they can't change a wheel, run out of petrol, lock keys in the car.

    Girl Car - furry pink dice hanging off rear view mirror and cushions on the rear parcel shelf

    can't change a wheel.....please!!
    run out of petrol.....are you serious? C'mon!!
    lock keys in car.......Ok, yes I have done that!! lol

    I hate furry dice etc.. on girls cars, its disgusting, I would never do it myself, its so tacky!! I once saw a blue micra with the entire interior pink. Was disgusting as the 2 colours clashed horrifically!!

    Back on topic, mx-5 is soooo girly, the only manly thing about them is that they rwd. The boyfriend was trying to encourage me to buy one, and I know exactly why. He would have the back tyres ruined on me

    Volvo - any Volvo = old persons car.

    No car person under 75 years old would buy a Volvo. :eek:

    They are boring. Having said that, single women over 30 might buy them - they are releiable and boring.

    Would I be correct in assuming you drive a 318i from your name? Girls car :cool:

    I agree with a lot of your choices, but a Focus/Golf isnt girlie (except the 1.4 or 1.6) neither is an Accord!

    Does anyone else think that in some ways it is more manly to just not give a flying fcuk about what is considered manly/girlie and just drive whatever you like?

    In some ways, I would respect a guy driving an MX5 for instance. If he looks like a twat then no, its not cool but if he looks like a regular farting & opinionated male then fair play as it is a cracking drivers car.

    I dunno its just a thought.....I still wouldnt drive one though (maybe I'm not enough of a man yet)!:p

    I like your opinion - drive what you what you like.

    And yes - Golf = mans car, but Focus = girls car.
    Sorry. :D

    My mother (who is almost 70) drives a 2007 Subaru 4X4 Staion wagon, with low ratio - and yes, she has got it stuck on the beach, but only once.

    My father (over 70) drives a BMW 318i.

    In fairness to him, he bought the Subaru for my mother (for himself), and he has two other cars:

    1.) a 1969 MGB
    2.) a 1962 Land Rover Short Wheel Base 2.4 straight 4 petrol. (Blokes car)

    It is so great when my mother drives the Land Rover, and the joung blokes are soooooooooooooooooo suprised.

    New Volvos are not boring cars. Thats like saying that Skodas are still east european tanks akin to Ladas. The new S80 is a gorgeos car and far sportier looking than the a E class or most A6s. Although i wish they would make more engine options available in this country. You cant even get the t5 of the c30 here :rolleyes:

    The C30 is the best looking car in that range without a shadow of a doubt. With the 2.5 litre T5 its a seriously hot car and will no doubt be my next purchase.

    These are old mans cars?

    -1.

    We're not in the 1980s any more.

    Anyone who hasn't been living under a rock for the past 10-15 years will realise that they have been making nice looking, even desirable:eek: cars.

    Mercs on the other hand are cars for the senior citizen, the automatic gearbox goes down very well with the blue rinse brigade I'm sure:D!
