Irony in the AS world


Recommended Posts

Browsing shit cars for sale, occasionally you see a car with an odd trim level or model name that is pretty ironic. 

Exhibit 1*

Daewoo Racer? 

Mitsubishi Charisma? 

*I'm not actively looking for Ford Kas, honest ?

My late grandad had one of those, his last car before giving up his license. Not sure whether the utter dullness of the car had anything to do with it. In reverse order his cars were the Carisma, Primera 1.6 "Sport"* Bluebird 1.6LX Sunny 1.3DX (GPP302Y) Renault 6, Ford Zephyr, Austin Cambridge, so he knew about dull stuff (R6 excepted).

 

As  a footnote, I wasn't impressed when I found out my V40 and the Carisma shared some underpinnings....

How about the modern "Mini"

Peugeot 309 style. 

 

I had an Octavia Elegance once. 

Not ironic but I remember one of the engineers at a place I worked bought a brand new Golf convertible in morning after piss orange. 

It was an Avant-garde model which in his best Essex gobshite accent he would refer to it as an Av Aren"t Guard.

I once had a Citroen BX Leader. Actually quite appropriate as with the 1.4 engine I would often have a line of traffic  building up behind  me  ?

Skoda Superb, and Skoda Rapid. Both name for irony really...

 

In the same vein, Proton Savvy. Ford Popular. Ford Probe (snigger). Mazda Friendee (wtf?!). List goes on.
