what car do you drive...

Alfa
strokeffffffffffffformulaspathlockshapetypeimagedatashape
textboxPassionate and romantic, you fancy yourself. A bit
unreliable, and can be eccentric too. You hate BMW drivers,
but think and act just like them.

Audi

imagedatashape
You would like to believe you are part of the new generation
that is caring, environmentally conscious and
family-orientated. Actually quite boring; nothing more than
a glorified wuss. Will one day probably drive a Merc, but
you still sometimes wonder if you shouldn"t have bought that
Bee-Em.

BMW
imagedatashape
Self-centred, ambitious, dynamic and assertive. Can be a
big show-off pig. Likes impressing too. Buppies and kugels
past sell-by date. You think you will be CEO one day.
Actually an office weenie who thinks you are God"s gift.

Daewoo

imagedatashape
Faceless, subservient and demure (except for Matiz drivers).
To you, a good deal is to work from nine to five, get
nothing for it, and still say thank you. And then you
wonder why you don"t have money for a time after hours.p

Fiat

imagedatashape
Cute self-confident girls climbing the corporate ladder with
ball-breaking as their hidden agenda. Will take everything
you own if she divorces you.

Ford

imagedatashape
You still live in the 70"s, trying to cope with the 90"s
(don"t even mention the millennium). A loyal, diligent
worker, but baffled by office politics and labour policies.
Next car will probably also be a Ford.

Honda

imagedatashape
You aspire to drive a BMW. You are an opinionated
pain-in-the-butt. The ultimate suffragette, or the boss"s
girlfriend (male or female!)

Isuzu

imagedatashape
You like the smell of diesel and have secret fantasy of
being a truck driver.

Hyundai /Kia

imagedatashape
Quite progressive, intelligent and practical. But
misguided. The kind of person who will suggest a
sub-committee to find solutions to what the committee
couldn"t. You will always maintain that a Korean car is
better than any Japanese model.

Jeep

Lancia

Passionate and romantic. Full of cache, which you spend for

car repairs. p

Land Rover

imagedatashape
You are a designer person with a designer life, who always
pays too much for everything. Designer mud comes free with
the badge. You"re a closet colonial racist and have
fantasies about the Queen. If you have a Freelander, it was

probably a break-up gift from your ex.p

Mazda

imagedatashape
A Ford driver with less money. Mostly staid boring with no
image and less imagination. Lots of retired people drive
Mazdas. You"re in the way and should get off the road.p

Mercedes-Benz

imagedatashape
Responsible, immaculate and conservative. Boring CEO clones

with too much money, or the office super-geek who can"t
remember what it"s like to have fun. Definitely not dating
material.p

Nissan

imagedatashape
Good, solid, responsible, loyal office-fodder. You like to
travel and maintain that you can sell ice to the Eskimos.
Favourite answer: "It"s a company car."p

Opel

imagedatashape
Wannabe Schumachers. Would like a VW, but fell for the bumf

about German engineering. Always in a rush, but never get
anything done. Kicks BMW 3 series butts because they can.
Spend all their money on trying to keep it going.

Pajero

imagedatashape
Not as label-conscious as your Land Rover counterpart, but
still suckered into believing in the ultimate
Paris-to-Dakar, African adventure. You drive through
puddles to create your own designer mud. You believe you"ve

made the grade, but everyone else knows you"ve got a long
way to go.

Peugeot

imagedatashape
Thinks France is the best country in the world and bores
everybody with your limited French knowledge and tales of
the Louvre and the Sourbonne.p

Porsche

imagedatashape
Smalldick

Renault

Imagedatashape
An eccentric who likes doing things the wrong way around.
Usually the one who asks all the silly questions at staff
meetings. You fer

Points: 50073 Status: Moderator



You fervently believe you have flair, but it"s
less than that of a French cookbook. Most probably gay.

Ssangyong

imagedatashape
A make-believe fool, because you"d like a Pajero but can"t
afford it. Don"t actually know that the engines are made in

India and not in Germany

Toyota

imagedatashape
Although there are thousands of them, you mostly can’t
spot
them in their zero-image cars. Toyotas are good, reliable
cars and are bought by a wide variety of people who have
zero personality to go with their cars and are basically
chicken-shit scared people who will never take chances and
will therefore be driving Toyotas forever. p
The most zero-image car in the world?, ... a white Corollap


Volkswagen

imagedatashape
Highly overrated for dependability cars since the days of
the Beetle, but they do have a good re-sale value. Usually
practical, sensible people who like to drive fast where
nobody can see them. They are usually loyal to their brand
to the point of irritation due to the fact that they lost
their virginity on a Beetle"s back seat.

Volvo

As square and safe as the car

If a Lexus is a Toyota, then an Audi is a VW and a Land
Rover is a Ford, and a Mercedes is just another GM car.

You can't put me in with the Toyota lot :P

Same company, in the same way Audi is with VW. Most Audi
cars share wheelbases with VW cars...even Seat share parts
with the VW group cars. I have a new Seat Ibiza as well and
that isn't listed :)

I'd say their more interchangeable than VW and Skoda or VW
and Audi... Lexus engineers (like mechanics, but a lot
higher trained) also know all models of Toyota inside out.

Hehe, I've got a white Ford Capri 2.0, body kitted and
lowered - Hugely modified engine..

My 3rd Capri, they're awesome fun cars, and I'm not going to
wet myself if it gets scratched or I crash it or
something... Also, very rarely get stopped by the police.

Next I'm thinking of an '88-90 Chevy Camaro Z28 IROC V8 with
T-top - Probably in red, maybe white...

I'm torn between that and a BMW 3-series - BMW's are dirt
cheap s/h at the moment.. Although spare parts are
expensive.

Also considering Nissan 200SX.
