Who do you imagine you are while driving your Autoshite?

[strangehighways]

Unfortunately I don't own any autoshite at the moment, but when I had my totally knackered (it really was) Mercedes SEC, I sometimes imagined I was a 'captain of industry' wafting along in my barge in the mid 80s. In reality, I am a long haired idiot on my way to my engineering job in Thirsk!We can now of course buy many old cars and the spec. of them often does not affect its value, ie. povvo spec Cavalier is the same as a fully kitted one really. Was it really that important to company car drivers if he had an L, LS, GLS etc?? I would love to hear from people who were driving cars in the 'old days' and anyone else who has strange imaginations like me!

I don't imagine who I am... I imagine I've got Carol Vorderman in horse-riding gear in the passenger seat.Next!(actually, I do a similar thing.... wonder who specced the car up in the first place, who got that lovely feeling of going to the dealership to pick up a brand new brown Scirocco Storm or something. And then I imagine Carol Vorderman next to me and the wipe-clean leather upholstery)

[dollywobbler]

I just enjoy being me, looking at all the fools with cars on finance. Ha! I actually own my cars!!

[Hudsonpie]

If I'm in a white car then I'm Kowalski...green car Steve Mqueen..... orange car Bo or Luke Duke.....Pick up.....Cooter.........you get the picture.....Horse riding gear.....Jodphurs one of the best bits of attire a hot bird can wear.......

[Pete-M]

Never really imagined I was anyone other than myself (and a driving god, naturally)

[retrogeezer]

an indian taxi driver...

Well when I'm driving my 02 with my afro wig on, Flairs, big collar shirt on, Chest wig out and a dash of Brut i pretend that I'm captain cool, But really I'm more like captain knob...

[whitevanman]

Usually IO am thinking of what needs repaired in the fleet, future purchases, money making schemes to afford previous thought and the last argument I had with her indoors.............

[VWPowered]

that'll make it to the next petrol station

[Cavcraft]

I sometimes imagine I'm a fat, grey haired miserable old twat. I sometimes look in the mirror which confirms that is exactly what I am.Then I pretend I'm really an eccentric millionaire who goes to a job he doesn't need to do in shit old cars that run out of petrol/cause smoke screens/break down a lot because I don't want to look too flash.

[Hudsonpie]

[Guest]

Sunday is the most accurate.

Is the Dalmatian the Galant drivers dog of choice?.

[Albert Ross]

I'm sort of a cross between Selwyn Froggett and Albert Steptoe.Not imagining this, I just am.

Friday is your non-Jap day then! "There are Special wheels" "A rev counter helps you time every gear change to perfection" hahahahhaha. Just so funny.

[trigger]

What are special wheels?, Do they make it fly?.

[Hudsonpie]

Wow your house is nice and may I comment on how attractive Mrs Hirst is.....

[Drive-By]

I like to think I am "The anti-Chav" in my own little world of beige and gold where the smell of oil and damp carpet is the sweet smell of sucess.

[Hudsonpie]

I also like to imagine that around the next bent will be a field full of cool old tin....I pull in and find the owner who is only to glad for me to remove all the vehicles at my leisure, for free whilst making me endless cup of tea. And also has a hot daughter who likes to party in light blue Mazda estates.....

[brammy777]

Well I cant even drive yet, but when I was learning in a new Mini, I wanted other people to think I was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally good, but I knew deep down I was terrible. 'Long at that long haired twat making a pigs ear out of that turn' (Not my fault the steering is too light)I always thought id look pretty cool in some eighties tat cruising into college while everyone else looks on with green eyes of envy, but they will probably dismiss me as some poor kid. Who doesnt say 'baaaaaaaaaaa'.

[P.I.]

I don't imagine anything, why would i? i know it's 1988 so those others who appear to be here aren't they are traveling through time in part recycled plastic space ships, in another parallel dimension

[Mr Lobster]

Sometimes this ---

 

Could have been this -

if I hadn't gone and sold the car

[Mash]

I imagine I'm Dan Hirst, Shiter Extraordinaire but I can only dream of being in his league and wish all my cars were beige too.
