PM in shite shocker

[Barry Cade]

I hope the timing chain's stretched and it was warmed up for his arrival, with the EML light taped over. Then he'd get a taste of how people live.

[forddeliveryboy]

Or perhaps a lowlife might clone it then run through a local speed camera whenever Mrs C is outnabout in the constituency, to demonstrate the benefits of big brother policing.

[Tamworthbay]

I bet he is planning to fill it with bozo and the other little darlings he has at the moment and then drive it off a cliff (if he does it will be the first thing he has done that I like).

[barefoot]

I'll bet it's just a stunt and it'll be parked up out of sight for a bit, never actually registered to either of them and quietly sold on or scrapped when everyone has forgotten about it.

[Tamworthbay]

Anyone 'cough' able to check ownership? Cough, nudge etc etc

[anonymous user]

It's probably a second car for the cleaning lady.

[New POD]

Wow, he's just like the rest of us, apart from the bit where he has a personal fortune of £25 million, went to Oxford, went straight into a directorship job straight after leaving, had loaded family, married into money, owns three live-in houses, owns numerous amounts of property, shagged a pig, has investments in several 'blue chip' companies in the UK and sits as board member on one, and also being a massive rich cunt.

 

Even the £6.64 cavalier I once bought is a greater percentage of my personal wealth than him actually buying a new Rolls Royce is a percentage of his personal wealth. Basically a £1500 micra is about the same investment as me buying a newspaper.

Those headlights won't pass another MOT

Those headlights won't pass another MOT

Does it matter when you're the PM?

 

Autoshite breaking news: New act of parliament.

 

All Micra cloudy headlights are not a fail.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

I used to live in North Oxfordshire. It's a wealthy area and there are loads of folk with serious coin who drive around in bangers. I used to know the late Peter Greenham, an artist retained by HM Queen, very well paid and very highly regarded. An absolutely charming man who drove high mileage Volvos until they were completely fucked. His wife Jane was just the same. Her T reg 340 was the stuff of legend because it wasn't washed once in 11 years. The local high court judge lived in a 7 bedroom mansion and drove a Renault 21 Savanna for years and his obnoxious wife (awful woman) had a Metro.

 

These are not boy done good the only way is Witney people. They don't give a shit. I can imagine Mrs C driving a Micra. Dumped at the train station, lent to the nanny, washed once a year.

[scdan4]

 

 

I can't quite get past this.

 

I think I really like it and I think that makes me digusted with myself. 

 

Cameron didn't buy an ice cream from me once. To be fair it was freezing and pissing it down, so probably can't hate him for that. Might have been a wise move, because Ed Balls (remember him?) did buy one and look what happened to him.

[Landy Mann]

Well Jezza cycles past proper shite. Funnily enough I normally cycle when I have a broken Rover & (land) Rover...

Ken Clarke was king of the boy racers back in the 80s with a succession of Ford Escorts. I seem to remember the Super soaraway Snu papped his car with out-of-date tax when he was Chancellor.

 

His bro was a used car dealer or summat like that.

 

That surprises me. Always had Ken down as smoking around in a green E reg RR Vogue in his hey day.

[spike60]

The original Tory Boy, William Hague, had his Range Rover nicked from Teesside Airport and dumped on Redcar seafront where the local plod noticed it was some weeks out of tax. I knew they had to have a use....

 I don't think that was a stunt to show how down with people he was though!

[Captain Furious]

The sad thing is that at some point there must have been a meeting amongst his 'advisors' where somebody said something to the effect of

 

"Hey, what would be a really good PR exercise is to run a story with the Prime Minister buying some old heap of shit from a used car dealer, and it'll show that we're all in it together, yer?"

 

And then someone else must have said

 

"Yeah that's a really great idea, lets set it up immediately"

 

And at no point did anyone say

 

"Wait, what if the public see straight through it as the cynical PR bullshit that it is, mercilessly rip the piss and make us look like a bunch of twats, again"

 

Honestly, I worry that the bar for being a Government advisor is possibly not set as high as it ought.

[Spottedlaurel]

Harriet Harman was driving a fairly aged Rover 800 not that many years ago.

He looks bloody miserable on that bike, unfortunately it is pretty much identical to my one.

 

That Rover 25 is the same spec as mine too, apart from the colour.

 

If anyone wants to take either of them off my hands now, please feel free, I already had enough Jeremy Corbin comments after not shaving for a few days.

I wonder if that was before or after he helped the Ford Cougar flop?

 

[Urko]

I just saw this and knew Autoshite would be on the case.   As mentioned above my first thought was 'that's overpriced'.

 

Never really understood why Prescott got grief for two jags, wasn't one his own car and the other one the government car that came with the job?

 

Because Clarkson and others decided he was an easy target.  My late father in law happily told me Prescott claimed to have been in the Merchant Navy but had never been to sea.  It was a lie he read somewhere in the piles of anti Prescott bile that used to pour forward.

[Urko]

On a lighter note, following a series of disasters where survivors were visited by Mrs Thatcher, Private Eye printed this and I cut one out to keep in my wallet -

 

 

 

[Alexg]

To be fair, rich people do buy cheaper old cars. I work at a car site in an affluent area, and we're always getting asked for £2k runabouts etc from people with million pound gaffs. If it's just for running to the shops or something some people don't always want to rock-up in an 80k Range Rover.

[brownnova]

Where's the pez station shot Dave??

 

And a Micra... Really???

 

Unless he's planning to go undercover at an old peoples home to persuade them to vote remain...

Didn't one notorious Tory twat own a DS cabrio? LHM lidless massochist!

There's a YouTube video of him driving it - it is/was his wife's.

Can't find the clip though.

You obviously haven't had the 'pleasure' of meeting many PR 'experts', the few I have met had their heads so far up their own arses their view was obscured by their teeth. And you can bet his cronies are all ex Eton/ Harrow so will be as clueless as he is.

[chaseracer]

I'm sorely disappointed Cameron didn't do a colekshun fred on AS.

 

Check tomorrow's Hansard, after PMQs...

I'm off down Halfords to get some plates made up. Anybody got a blue Micra I can borrow?

Alan Clark?

[Urko]

Alan Clarke had a lot of tasty motors, he used to write for car mags too.

[Adrian_pt]

No surprise. DC had a very early Espace in 2005 - IIRC a B-reg or C-reg, absolutely hanging. Then replaced with a Honda CR-V. 

 

Ed Balls had a K-reg Sierra until very recently (he may still have it now). 

 

Ming Campbell had a rather surprising XJ-S.
