    I might be in the wrong thread here

    Why oh why do BMW drivers not them all, but most of them think they can drive through red stop lights both traffic and pedestrian do the rules of the road not apply to them aggrogance is not the word

    Their Starbucks double mocha is going cold on the way to the office. They have a permit I think for that.

    Ah its a badge thing I see. Typical Beemer driver :pac:

    My car probably has a better spec than the bob average 3 series, plenty of power for everyday driving, better colour than most 3's on the roads and imo looks better as its not as common as muck.;)

    Yeah an Astra looks better than a BMW.

    An opinion is all fair and good, but why go and call his car shit? Fair enough if you say you don't like it, but no need to call it a name ;)

    I just wanted us to get to the point that an opinion is just that, an opinion ;)


    No need for calling things names is all :)


    I put with a hell of a lot of generalizing and stereotyping, so why don't you? :D

    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"
    The transporter car was no TDI.As a Tdi driver I admit that:D. Your 2nd statement about the beemer coupes is spot on the money:).Da boyz hav made it out de hoood and ****:D

    BMW/Merc, because you know the driver is an A-hole

    also the 7 seaters that posh mums use to collect their one kid in, and block an entire road in the process

    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!

    I've yet to see a Micra overtake...

    I wouldn't classify a Micra as a car, its more of a go cart for people who can't drive proper cars(often the type who took 6 attempts before they passed a driving test).

    no car really annoys me, they're just bits of metal, I've seen people who look cool driving crappy cars and people who look like twonks driving cool cars. Mostly, it's drivers that annoy me, not what they are driving.

    im not getting the passat hate thing at all ???
    great engine - cheapish 2 run - does what it says on the tin , i think you might mean the TYPE of person that that you perceive drives them.

    i have one and love it , no modifications - no body kit no spoiler - basic 130 bhp , red di , fit at least 3 dead prostitutes in the boot ( the new measure for boots i hear )

    cant fault it - so it must be the drivers you dont like , and as we know they drive all types of cars ,
    what do you drive? and then i can profile you :-)

    I hate all SUVs and people who buy them.

    Yummy mummies think they're safe because "they can see everything from high up" and "it's bigger so it protects me". However, it can't swerve properly to avoid a child crossing a road and subsequently avoid another vehicle like other cards can.

    Heay, you couldn't be more wrong! Go karts are great fun and somewhat manly for being pure racing machines. They've nothing in common with a car that uses a hair dyer as an engine.
