    People who drive new plate cars, that have the name of the car ,ie VW displayed on the back of the car (always on tinted glass) in foot high letters. I have seen one recently that said " Sporty Golf " on a 1.4 boggo standard golf, this car even had cheap trims rather than alloys, please!!!!! = Travellers
    Also any Segment B car that is saloon form (Focus,Astra,Megane...etc ) these are all hideous, generally driven by clueless boggers.:)

    Passat drivers - courteous, responsible, friendly and safe.

    I get a sneaky feeling a Passat driver has found the motors forum :P

    Reminds me of the NO POWER WITHOUT SMOKE banner I saw once, on a tee-diddily-eye something or other sh1tbox, with 20" inch wheels rubbing in the arches as it crept by.

    If you are trying to say a RR makes a better van than a transit then you are an idiot. They would not have a fraction of the load space or versatility of a transit. I doubt you'd fit any pallets in a Range Rover commercial and even if you do i wouldnt like to be trying to get them out again without damaging the tailgate. Jeeps make useless vans.

    Look im not saying vans are bad! i know transporters good van comfortable etc... But really if you have made money whats the point in buying a van when you can just get a jeep....

    Don't you get it?
    Jeeps cannot do the same job that vans can.
    It's nothing to do with being able to afford one.

    SV, don't be getting upset. The attitide stephen is showing is exactly the kind of thing that got everyone in debt up to thier ears. You are being drawn in to an endless argument.

    What kind of people are driving those freakin' expensive Q7, Cayenne, ML, Range Rover Sport etc off-roaders with no back windows and usually in black colour?!

    Well the cheap road tax, no VRT and being able to park in loading bays does it for me and the fact that most people think it's worth twice what it is, lovely to drive and.......... I could go on and on, it's just great really.:)

    By gob there's an idea: jeepvan/vanjeep! Fat/large wheels, 4wd, increased ride high, towbar, aggressive looks, enough space to carry a sh1tload of 8x4 plasterboard.. What else?

    Mmmmm. Unimog. I had the Minibus variety of this take me Mt Etna, there is nothing that vehicle can't do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,702 ✭✭✭✭R.O.R


    Was asked to quote on a Unimog as it's the only vehicle that's really suitable for one of my customers.

    Still works out cheaper to spend €3,000 on new suspension for a Sprinter every 6 months.

    If you get the contract, I want a spin before he gets it!
