I followed a Dacia Duster which could have been -CLEANER Anyone have any more car 'corrections' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 All Fiat Multipla should NOT EXIST! They are just a cruel cruel joke to people with no taste... Audi should be renamed to OOOO (like saying Oooh!) All VW Golfs should be BLACK and house a obnoxious youth with cap. Oh wait... All Golfs already fulfill that description...

Alis girls Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Off subject I look for medical number plates. Regularly follow a car with MMR as number plate and for the ladies have seen one with HVS. Also seen ECG. Very sad I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 ALL people in a Daewoo Matis or Hyundai Atos can't drive and I dislike them thoroughly. ( now hoping no one here drives one of those...) Oh and they should rename the Suzuki Wagon R and the Opel Agila into: 65+bus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Smart cars should be renamed Dumb. Hate them esp when they park sideways in small a spaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Haha, I like this conversation. I agree that the Citroen Cactus should be green-they definitely look like cacti in that colour too! I think smart cars look like trainers, and some of the Skoda Fabias (particularly the one which was parked round the corner from us, which was black with lime green trim!).

soapdragon Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 The Honda HRV should really be the HRT? The only trouble with that is that I'd forget where I parked it, get all emotional when I got into it and then couldn't drive off because I couldn't find my glasses! Oh, and it would have to have really good air conditioning to deal with hot flushes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGirlsMum Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Mullethunter what you say about visitors are so true they really don't know what a reverse gear is my Hilux is obviously invisible and they always want my side of the road.......climbs off soap box and slinks back into the sidelines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Obviously a Smart car owner read my rant and parked sideways behind me today the urge to let down tyres was huge but I cursed quietly and drove off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 Why are they called 'Smart' when they look like an Audi that has been through the crusher ? Personally, I think they should be renamed 'Smug'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 The Honda HRV should really be the HRT? Dreadful cars, we bought ours from my FIL to stop him driving, it has the smallest boot ever and is about as exciting as a wet flannel doesn't even have a thermometer. We still have to pay high road tax though, because it is a 4x4...hardly! There really are some silly car names around. My OH had a Beetle called Daisy when he was young, he bought it and rang me to tell me he had a car and I said great, so long as it is not yellow or a Beetle, you can guess the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 My old Jazz had everything music-wise apart from jazz! I agree red Ferraris only! Lotus cars should be white. Citroen CVs should have a handle to push at the back because they look like prams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm loving this thread All Fiat Panda's should be black and white Nissan Note's should play a tune Toyota IQ (mine) should indicate that I have an IQ, even if it may be in single figures first thing in a morning Qashqai = cashcow - someone's definitely been milking it VW Lupo - renamed the Loopy, as the drivers of them do seem to be All people who park their cars in such a way as it occupies any of my parking space as well as thier own should be made to pay towards my cost for that day. I know mine's a short car and I always park it well forward in a space, but the cheeky wotsit last week who took 1/2 my space as well and parked about 2cm from my bumper was really going beyond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sil-El Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I used to have a Suzuki Swift and I called her Suzy (not very imaginative is it?) Now I have a Freelander and I call it "MOVE, MOVE, NOW, COME ON!" because it's a bit sluggish and slow to respond when you move off and I'm far too impatient for it really. My husband has a lovely black Toyota Celica and he calls it KITT. (and if you get reference that you are as old as we are! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Why do you only ever see ONE Renault Twingo at a time? Surely they should go round in pairs Clio's should have a thick black line under each headlight. Golfs should be white with dimpled bodywork. Rovers should be factory fitted with floppy ears and a wagging tail. Minis should be....quite a lot smaller than they actually are? Ford Fiestas should 'wear' big Mexican hats whilst the old Austin Princess really should have been pink with a little crown on the roof. The paint job on the Vauxhall Opel could have been iridescent. My Skoda Fabia estate should certainy be a lot cleaner but I am worried that its only the dirt and mud that's holding it together! Even the very keen people with car cleaning carts in Sainsbury's car park run in the opposite direction when I park up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 All Ferrari's should be redAll Lambourghini ' should be yellow All Porsche Panamera ' should be crushed ALL Nissan Notes are going too slowly All cars visiting Cornwall are not as wide as their owners think they are and most need reversing lessons. Having just returned from The Lizard, I totally agree - OH's sister lives there, so he considers himself an honorary native and cussed every time someone raced towards us around a corner, then expected us to reverse .... the lanes are narrow, and steep with high hedges; drive accordingly and learn how to manoevre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
