What are your motoring prejudices?

[Kayless]

I'm not trying to start an argument here, hopefuly an amusing discussion but what are your motoring prejudices, ie things you dislike but with no good reason but you have a reason even though to most it's not a reason at all.
eg: Front wheel drive is the work of Satan, because the front wheels already do the steering and most of the breaking and cars should be driven from behind.

Big black german cars

Chosen by corporate types with no imagination desperate for peer approval.

If you *must* have a BMW 5 series at least show some ability to think for yourself and get it in red or something!

[Kayless]

I do not have a 5 series jake. neither is it a company car. Presumably you have a 2CV in green running on Squirrel p00?!

[EvianBaby]

Oh no, I get a few posts down and discover Hopkirk thinks I'm an a***hole :(

[Hopkirk]

I'll get me coat

[jake-the-peg]

I didn't mean to imply you did - I was refering to the corporate clones.

Any old man wearing a hat while driving is guarenteed to be a serious danger to everyone on the road!

[EvianBaby]

It's not a BWM if that makes any difference Hopkirk ;)

[rowanwitch]

Utilitarian interiors why cant we have options like Cath kidston florals...
Drivers who think its fun to intimidate middle aged female drivers... don't do that to Zajaczek BTW she could probably beat Lewis Hamilton at the lights

[Kayless]

AH MGB-GT, so glad it's not one of those awful leyland ones with the plastic bumper, good car.

For the Defender, use diesel if you must but the Petrol one is better.

[Hopkirk]

You are forgiven then.

[Hopkirk]

(I hardly dare admit that my vehicle is a 44 ton MAN artic)

[Kayless]

It is acceptable to run that on diesel Hopkirk.

[jake-the-peg]

It's not a GT - the GT's have a hard top - yes the rubber bumpers were horrible - not the bumper per se but they raised the suspension for US safety regs and it wrecked the car - even today people convert them back.

They haven't made a petrol Defender for 20 years!

[Booldawg]

women NEVER let you out of a junction.

[Kayless]

How about one of these then?

People driving with dogs in their laps - have seen it a number of times, the biggest being a Labrador.

Imagine Ratter or Carakeel with one of theirs......not saying that they doe but then on the other hand one of them could probably sit in the dog's lap.

OK, here goes -
1 middle lane owners club drivers on m'ways
2 drivers who don't switch their lights on in adverse weather conditions
3 drivers who sit at t/lights in the dark with their foot on the brake pedal
4 drivers who stop at roundabouts to check for oncoming traffic
5 tailgaters
6 indecisive drivers
7 incompetent drivers
8 drivers who still drive whilst talking on their mobile phone
9 drivers who have bicycles on the back of their vehicle without a tail plate
10 That makes me perfect!

[DTCwordfan]

Clear the M1!!!!

jd is just pulling onto it.

[ludwig]

I don't like left hand drive cars. It's uncomfortable and dangerous having to lean right over in order to reach the steering wheel.

[jd_here]

No DT, it's the blooming M25 that needs clearing.
