    Anything with a taxi sign on the top of it.

    Opel Zafiras, cheap piles of crap, everywhere, generally driven by clowns woth can't drive. and will ding the car next to them in a car park.

    Ssangyong Rodius proof that blind people do buy and drive cars.

    Chrysler Grand Voyager steaming pile of turd.

    Micra's - Always slow old people driving them, they look hideous.

    Daewoo Lanos - Look like boiled shíte and age terribly.

    Audi's - Nothing says "I hope to make my cock bigger" by buying a dull and boring Audi.

    VAG in General - A sudden Irish spurge in them, belting out black smoke from their chipped tractor engines, usually with rep alloys, no springs and a roll of wallpaper for a visor. There's no variety in them, they all look the exact same (boring). I see them in Dublin now and before I see the back of it I know it'll have a yellow RN or DL reg, usually driven by some muppet from Coolock (not slating the area, I live there) because his mate has one so off he jumps straight onto donedeal.

    Badly modified Jap cars - I'm not a fan of Jap cars at all but I'll appreciate someone who clearly looks after theirs. The one's I'm talking about are 1.4 Civics with body kits screwed onto them, with 17 inch wolfrace Katana's and ironing board spoilers, usually driven by a peanut head with a luminous tracksuit.

    Excuse my rant, I dont mind variety in any cars but the "follow the sheep" herd annoy me and they happen to be most prominent in VAG's and Jap cars.

    I loved driving the A4, beautiful car to drive, but a needy cnut of a car ,always fcuking breaking down, coils blown after 5k and every 5k after that.Engine managment light coming on for no fcuking reason and the car goes into "limp" mode to protect the engine.Every time something happens it costs an arm and a leg to repair.

    I thought the first one I had was probably a bad car ,but when the same shít happened with the second one, I knew they were a pile of crap.I can only speak from experience with the petrol version not the diesel version.

    Fiat mulipla is the most ugly car ever made.

    Nissan duke is a close second, it looks like and retarded frog.

    Nissan Cube, seen one of these in swords a few weeks back, what a **** looking car....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,674 ✭✭✭Faith+1


    Any car that has a taxi plate on top. B*stards think they own the road, We pay our road tax too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 214 ✭✭kearney13


    Nissan Dukes there horrible and everywhere lately and a Fiat Coupe one one the ugliest cars I have ever seen


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,661 ✭✭✭Voodoomelon


    I've learned to not judge people by what they drive, I was always awful quick to make assumptions about people based on their wheels but in 99% of cases i'd be 100% wrong.

    However with Micras I stay well back as you know something crazy is going to happen infront of you anytime soon. Where as most drivers are the exception to the rule in their choice of cars, its the other way round with Micras, only a very small majority of their owners know how to drive properly.

    And Glanzas, why on earth would anyone aspire to own a shítball like that?

    I bought our first car there about a month ago. It's for the missus to get to and from work. By all accounts she's a good driver and hovers around the speed limit while on the motorway. The car in question....... is a 12 year old Nissan Micra.

    KITT, why did they make such a cool car sound like a stoner C3PO!

    What's the reason for being reasonable?

    Is that an unreasonable question?



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 146 ✭✭PennyLane88


    Fiat puntos (from 98-04), rattly looking yolks

    overly Modified cars, they look sh1te

    Mayo and Offaly regs.

    Baby on board signs - its not as if i'm gonna rear end the car in front if it didnt have a sign like that up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    Can't understand all the Micra hatred. They're a really succesful car.

    Thet tidied up the look of the new micra.

    I think it looks quite cute.

    Definately the Sangyong Rodious.

    Rodius.

    When those things are behind me I get the urge to speed up. They're sinister. One passed me with no driver in it one day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,729 ✭✭✭Midnight_EG


    Everybody gives out about so-called boy racers...well it's the driver that's the fool not the car. I drive what's considered a boy-racer car, two of them actually, both Civics and both modified. I find that a hell of a lot more people in standard, run-of-the-mill cars are much worse drivers than those of us who are stereotyped so wrongly every single day! I'll happily sit at 90/100kmhr on the M50 and watch all of you perfect drivers speeding past at 130/140 and then realise they think I'm the one breaking the rules :rolleyes:

    Funny thing about modified car owners is our cars are a hell of a lot safer than yours! We splash out on safety...we don't want to crash our pride and joy and send thousands of Euro down the drain, so we buy better brakes and better tyres. I know I'll have a better chance of stopping in an emergency than anybody else out there, so I put up with the stereotyping :D

    Very harsh.What about the Fiat Coop?20v T.:)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,435 ✭✭✭mandrake04


    Have to agree with the general consensus with the Nissan Micra, although those Mazda 121 bubble cars would give them a run for the biggest waste of space.

    Also those 1.1 fiesta with the big exhaust and alloy wheels, why not save up and buy a decent car.

    Ssangyong Rexton. Looks like it was glassed in a pub fight and then stiched back together by a blind man.

    Ssangyong RECTUM. Driven by arseholes.
    Fiat Multipla (as mentioned earlier, I can't UN-see it.)

    The one car i cannot tolerate and i pity people who drive them are Chevrolet, I test drove one of these and they are the most boring car.

    Coming in just behind it are the 05 VW passat. 05 in particular, bland, boring and depressing. but the 06 is fab looking, very modern and nothing like the 05.

    I hate F1 cars, driving around doing fcuk all, no overtaking, even adding DRS and KERS hasn't improved this sport.

    So my vote is F1 cars.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,699 ✭✭✭bamboozle


    BMW's, especially X 5's

    Landrover sports being driven by women or men in suits.

    Although if i had to pick an annoying looking car it would have to be a Kangoo. I think they are ridiculous!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    modified cars they are so noisy!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 520 ✭✭✭dpe


    Howth Housewives and Malahide Mommies in any 4x4. Can't drive, can't park, don't know how to go around roundabouts and are generally lethal. SuperQuinn car park in Howth is more dangerous than downtown Mogadishu.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,160 ✭✭✭De Hipster


    100% in agreement with the

    - Nissan Micra; OAPs only @ 20mph
    - BMW drivers; agressive, road-hogging psychopaths
    - Modified Sham-mobiles; Honda Civics, Accords, Toyota Altezzas, Mitsubishi FTO, GTO & anything with cut springs & veilside kits = lunatic showing off to other inexperienced lunatics, i.e. mutli-casualty pileup with certain deaths waiting to occur


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,461 ✭✭✭--Kaiser--


    Prius, not environmentally friendly, less mpgs than a decent diesel and driven exclusively by unpleasant, self-satisfied morons

    Boy racer cars with them riciculously loud exhausts that make them sound like lawn mowers. Never understood why they put these exhausts on the car.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,474 ✭✭✭Crazy Horse 6


    Audi drivers. Stuck up mountain biking gob****es the lot of them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,975 ✭✭✭W.Shakes-Beer


    Audi drivers have watched the Transporter a bit too much and think they'll get more action than yer man in it, especially with the spine shattering, speed of light power of a 1.9 TDi


    Also to note are the new wave of scumbags that have aspired since day one, to drive a 12 year old 3 series Coupe, usually in a nice boring shade of silver. "I'm fukn livn the life bud"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 199 ✭✭mystique150


    The micra bashing is uncalled for! Micras are highly dependable, cheap to run, cheap to maintain and have no problem doing 100-120k on the dual carriageway. They're good on ice, can handle a low gear well uphill and handles corners surprisingly well. You can literally drive the crap out of them and they don't complain. They are great to buy second hand as most of them have never been driven further than the shop and church. I've yet to see a micra driver overtake in an inappropriate place (because you need a run at it :)) but have seen plenty of BMW drivers do the latter. Give the micra and its driver a break!

    At the end of the day it's still a Micra though

    We then had the pleasure of following her through the town at 15 miles per hour, and nothing in front of her.

    I think by the road traffic 2003 act that if you can keep up with a car on foot then you have the legal right to shoot the driver. You just can't do it from your own car as drive by shootings are frowned upon here.

    Those big pick-up yokes (or any overly large SUV type vehicle) and Minis (the new ones, not the original ones).

    I would never let either out of a junction. Might even stall the ball in a parking spot just to annoy them if I have the time.

    Golf drivers. theyre the new Bmw driver.

    Usually driven by either Jayo, a wannabe who couldnt make stretch to a bmw yet had leftovers from his glanza fund or if its a recent model, Fionn, doddys trendy little fockwit wonderboy, who got it for his 18th.

    Theyre somewhat fast, so is a 98 bmw or many many others. It doesnt make you schumacher or rick astley.
