Jay2 0 Posted August 3, 2008 Not sure if its me turning into a judgemental old git BUT do certain car makes/models attract a certain kind of enthusiast? Went to the BIG F*rd Fair at Silverstone today, (present from girlfriend), to see some old-skool escorts and capri's and apart from being knocked out at the size of the show the other thing was how many, how can I put it, young persons of a baseball and burberry persuasion there was. :ignore: Am I tarring everyone with the same brush? :?

anders panders 0 Posted August 3, 2008 No not at all, I went to a Tri*mph Stig meeting once, and nearly everyone there wore a leather jacket and sported tinted prescription glasses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

officejunkie 0 Posted August 3, 2008 you should try going to a jap meet - you see sooo many subarus and I guarantee that most of them are wearing the bloody blue rally jacket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted August 3, 2008 A lot of people don't care what car they drive. Saying that I've met a lot of similarly minded individuals on here. Do corrados = innapropriacy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anders panders 0 Posted August 4, 2008 I feel very comfortable wearing my hoody, does that mean I have no choice but to drive a VW ? :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted August 4, 2008 somethings i've noticed is, the fastest the car, the balder the owner :lol: have you ever seen an evo meet? most people are bald :! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 4, 2008 That's because being able to afford and insure very fast cars is proportional to bank balance and bank balance is proportional to age and experience (unless your a footballer or porn star). And statistically speaking, most typical English blokes are slap heads by 50.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted August 4, 2008 Does that mean the faster you go Kev the balder you'll get? Best keep it below 400bhp then mate! :lol: Obviously different cars attract different types of people, the subaru groups are probably moaning on a thread about some vw meet they went to and how everyone was in board trainers and a hoodie!

Guest Posted August 4, 2008 No not at all, I went to a Tri*mph Stig meeting once, and nearly everyone there wore a leather jacket and sported tinted prescription glasses. You sure that wasnt a doggers meet? :lol: I dont really think theres a "stereo typical" owner for any brand, most seem to attract all sorts, for instance, Subarus, or "clitoris" as they are often called, one minute you see "jack the lad" driving around in the HEAVILLY depreciated 1k green L reg Impreza...next corner you see mr "Bell End" 40 + "i die my hair blonde" chunky chain, pitt bull & every accesory he can find bolted onto the car! with the biggest whale tail pro drive sell on the back :wink: , just, it seems to impress "jack the lad" in his ancient first edition mind you those traits are prevelant throughout any brands ownership it seems, including VW`s :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
