[warren t claim]

Even though I've owned plenty of Capris in my past I can't help but think I'd feel a tit driving one as a daily in 2015.

[Lord Sterling]

Pimped up P38 Range Rover with blacked-out windows and Khan alloys...

 

Yeah, I know some people say it'd suit me...

[strangeangel]

There are plenty of cars I would feel like a tit driving, and plenty of others I would rather walk than own. However I can't think of a single car that I like that I would feel a tit driving round in.

 

Maybe I've just got an unusually thick skin? Either that or I couldn't give a toss what anyone else thinks about my choice of wheels

[vulgalour]

Struggling with this one.  Feeling like a tit is part of the appeal of some of the cars I want to and have driven.

Is any car worse than getting the bus?

[LC Torana]

Is any car worse than getting the bus?

THAT is something I've never understood.   What the &%$# is wrong with catching a bus?

 

But cars?  Any open-topped car.  Any BMW or Mercedes.  Any four wheel drive, within city limits or on a main road.  Anything lowered or with a spoiler or flared arches or other mongery.  Any of those I would feel deeply embarassed to drive.

 

But which of those would I secretly love to own?  A Morgan.

Looking at the preceding comments I should feel a twat driving all of my cars

BMW- check

Mercedes- check

4x4 in city - check

Fat bald cunt in a soft top- check

 

Even I couldn't bring myself to drive a modern Ferrari,Aston Martin or similar penis enhancer if I had the wherewithal. Glamorous cars should be driven by glamorous people, not desperate old leches trying to shag younger, desperate slappers

Also, as much as I'd love some sort of stupid big Septic pickup , I don't think I could pull it off, maybe if I got a cowboy hat though....

3 wheelers are probably too small for me, but I've driven MX5's roof down and even though I look like pshomes's avatar, I don't care , because I'm having too much fun.

[Timewaster]

Any convertible with less than 6 cylinders.

[fordperv]

I have lust for a daihatsu Copen, unfortunately I think I would look ridiculous driving it if it was mine, mrs fp was going to buy one a couple of years back, I thought all my Christmas's had come at once.

[FakeConcern]

Funny thing I saw one identical yesterday in Bexhill for sale..

So did I!

[dave21478]

As a fat, balding twat I feel a proper sad wanker in anything roofless.

 

I tried....owning a purple 306 cabrio while living here surrounded by testosterone-fuelled macho farmers who assume anyone who doesnt go hunting, drive a massive 4x4 with too many spotlights and get pissed every other night is some kind of FACKING POOFTER.

It didnt last long.

 

I secretly want another one.

[Bren]

I'd feel a tit spunking £200 + a month on something on the never never. Especially when I have to cough up around £4k just to keep the bastard thing at the end of the term.

 

Would rather have another diesel vectra.

I concur - I also feel a pretentious twat driving my A6.

 

I ride a motorcycle - in my eyes audi drivers were the bastard child of beelzebub. They just pull out on you, cut you up etc.

 

Then I buy one.

[skoda_fan]

Having driven Skodas for years, particularly the rear-engined variety, and on occasions the cabrio version at that, I can safely say that driving an embarrassment holds no fear for me

[dollywobbler]

Indeed. I'm a 2CV owner and lived through the shit joke phase when they were still bangers. I literally have no shame. Even if by some miracle I bought a new car, I'd only feel a tit for he sheer expense. I suspect Joe Public wouldn't give a toss.

[cms206]

I drive a multicoloured Volvo estate and a Kia Pride.

 

I am more ashamed that I really want a diesel Subaru Legacy. Or an Audi S5 coupe because they just look... right?

 

I'll send my AS card back in the post.

[purplebargeken]

I am absolutely unable to be embarrassed. I thrive on this.

 

I have done the fat balding bastard in an open topped car and absolutely loved the experience. I have also driven nu beetle and loved it, that was sans dress and floppy hat (I think). I have driven a small Daf and looked like Mr. Incredible. 

 

I no give a poop 

[mercrocker]

I thought I was immune from embarrassment. Until I remembered the summer holiday spent in Canada with a rented Impala. Wearing a Stetson hat....

[AlabamaShrimp]

I think same as many others with the bald lard arse in a convertible just makes me feel a proper tit. Not helped by being some lights in America driving a convertible Seabring and having this guy in a pickup on the left staring and smiling.....

 

Other than that I don't think I'm that bothered as a beige Fiesta mk1 attracted a lot of stares (I drove that for years and it's now in the garage)

[castros_bro]

DKW Munga

 

 

I found my Munga ok over here as the passenger gets to look like the tit driving a 4x4 moped.

[oldcars]

A Rialto and a Kia Shuma, oh hang on a sec............

[ChinaTom]

Yellow Seicento. Err, hang on...

 

 

Pushrod Seicento. The 1.1 is terrific fun, but the 0.9 is strangely intriguing. Will look tittish trying to keep up with tractors on the hills around here though

[saucedoctor]

Nova GTE. Nearly bought one once, but chickened out and got a Clio 16v instead.

 

I'd still like one, but I'm far too old now, thankfully.

You can't win really.

If you drive an old car for the sake of it - not going for finance, it's cheap to run, and if it breaks you're only going to lose a few quid over the scrap value - you're treated like penniliess scum by A4/330 drivers, and going on a first date or whatever isn't going to do you any favours; classic cars are good, but a 25 year old car that was undesirable in the first place? As much as I'd like to say I don't care and all that bollocks, I'd never turn up on any first date in my green Astra.

 

If you do finally go for a nearly new or new car, you're part of the rat race, the seemingly endless payments every month that don't get any easier as the car plummets in value and is only made worse on the first big repair job out of finance (and you're still paying it off).

 

Girls like floppy tops, but I never drove the MGF without my missus, you look like a confused twat; and forget it if you're a victim of a road rage attack, you can't argue your way when you're peering out from a convertible with red leather seats.

 

Old hot hatches or even modern Focus ST's/VXR's,Escort Cosworth/Sierra Cosworth - you're an untrustworthy twat by default with awful sleeve tattoos, and you pretend you do MMA. If you're old you hanker for a 'Cossie', even though they're shit compared with modern hatchbacks.

 

I think the only way is to drive a classic saloon all the time, or even better an estate or pickup that is tidy. Old Japanese or German are good, British tends to be a bit tweedy/old fart.

 

I think this would cater for everything without leaving you with any feelings of embarassment in any situation:

A "confederate" spec Chrysler PT Cruiser.

THAT is something I've never understood.   What the &%$# is wrong with catching a bus?

 

 

I live in a city but wish to collect something from an outlying town, see a friend in another village and then stop off at a shop in another little suburb which is on the way home.

The total distance will be around 40miles.

I'll leave just after 10am, make my collection before 11, meet my friend for lunch and do my shopping to back at mine before half two.

It's a leisurely drive in my yellow Reliant Regal Supervan 2.

 

Alternatively I'll leave the house at 0830 for a 20 minute walk and a 10minute wait at a bus stop (they can't be relied on to turn up on time). I get off the bus 1040 and have a 20 minute walk at the other end.

I'm back at the bus stop at 1130 and wait there for nearly 40 minutes.

I arrive for lunch at quarter to 3 (three busses later) and leave just before 4.

The bus takes me to a village in between where I wait for 30 minutes to get another bus.

I arrive at my desired shop 5 minutes after its closed and then (having failed to shop) wait for another 20minutes for a bus.

It takes 35 minutes to get me back into town followed by s 25 minute walk home.

 

So that's why I wouldn't be embarrassed by any car.
