My apologies. :)

True though. ;)

And aren't all BMWs driven by !Removed!?

More or less....

Pretty much a trend with certain vehicles... Stereotypes of course, but theres no smoke without fire and sadly the few good ones are overshadowed by the bad eggs.

BMW drivers don't indicate, don't care for speed limits and often tail gate, they are often found in the 3rd lane of a motorway regardless of the levels of traffic.... Unless ofcourse they spot an opportunity to undertake, they don't like queues and will do anything they can to get ahead, whether that's the wrong lane on a roundabout, wrong lane at traffic lights, or just cutting in a gap...

RR drivers are similar to the above, but less reckless, don't tend to undertake, just tend to fill your side and rear view mirrors with their presence if they feel your speed is not high enough. Tend to act like the rest of us with queues, if they spot a real gap then they'll take it, rather than force a gap.

Audi drivers are actually less offensive than others I find, tend to be those that would get a BMW if not for its awful driver reputation.. Still misbehave somewhat, but as they're normally fitted with 2 children and either a wife driving or wife as passenger, they're a bit more family careful. (estate versions at least)

VW = poor man's audi, similar drivers in the estate department, hatchback bunch are halfwits (like audi hatchbacks)

Mercs - I was going to leave them out, but then I should explain that they are a very mixed bunch, some vary careful drivers and some incredible morons.... Very difficult to group these guys.

French car drivers... Such a variety, a bit like movie extras, some of them blend well, others stick out like sort thumbs, or like Road blocks in the middle lane!!!!

Vauxhalls.. Again a bit of a mixed bunch, but it can easily become clearer when you break it down to sub groups. Corsas - let's just ignore them and hope they go away. Astras and Vectras, depending on the driver these can go either way, some just wanted an alright car that they don't really have much knowledge about (because they invariably couldn't care less), others crashed through Halfords ripspeed section and think the whole world finds their 'unique' car is something to drool over...

Ford's...... Well, got them dodgy coppers driving brand new ST's.... Nuff said really...

I agree with you Ian. Summed it up perfectly!

Typical Vauxhall fan....

Remember- I know where you live ;)

Things I don't like - stone chips shooting at your windscreen at 70MPH!! Hope there isn't any damage.

Things I don't like: Getting up at 7am to take the car to the dealership for two new keys.

In addition to my last post, I really don't like being stranded without a car, miles from town, with no buses in sight.

That reminded me of an insult towards bus users from a certain TV show, but I think I might be told off if I repeat it here lol.

Things I don't like - searching for rental properties. It's torture. :(

Inbetweeners.

And yes you would ;)

Well.... I don't like walking outside to find some scally has helped themselves to one of my wheel caps! Jokes on them in the long run as it was delamination and I have been looking to replace them but it's still dang annoying!

That would really irritate the crap out of me, and is the main reason why I am very reluctant to replace the generic old damaged wheel trims our Volvo has fitted, as at around £20 per wheel trim (for genuine Volvo trims) I would want to inflict physical harm on anybody who even TOUCHED them.

It is also why I never bothered putting wheel trims on the old Focus, full stop.

I hate the dribbley rear washer on my mk3 mondy,once its completed its cycle of, wash 3 wipes then a single finisher wipe, still you get dribble streaks...Grrrrrrr!

Crohns!

Going through a flare up and have been signed off for a week :(

Poor you. My mum has had crohns since she was 18 so I know how demoralising it can be.

Hope you feel better soon.

Vauxhall Insignia drivers.

I know we all hate Vauxhalls and their pathetic drivers.

But far worse than the reprobate that drives a Corsa is the middle-aged buffoon that drives an Insignia.

They over-compensate for not being able to afford a BMW by driving like an even bigger prat.

I agree so many of them up your backside or dangerously overtaking is ridiculous if you have seen fast and furious u will know what I'm talking about I'm going to invent a special port in the side of my car that opens and shoots one of them emp devices at any Vauxhall trying to pass me out on any side. Ah I'll just use an RPG it would be easier.

Another thing I hate double decker buses driving in the motorways because there either entering service or finished service lazy prats crawl along at 50kph

Sorry guys but I need to vent about somebody who I hate

Reasons;

*Arragont people

*drum brakes any other colour than black

*nurburgring stickers on a car that's never been

*people that lie about the specs of their car

*people that lie about speeding tickets cause they think they're hard to get caught.

*people who drive like General Sausages

*Vauxhall drivers

*people with tiny underpowered engines trying to drive like f1 drivers

*people that treat their cars like dirt then tell others off for taking pride in them

*people that damage other people's property

*people that think they're better than others because their PARENTS have money

Well.. to be fair, the list is endless. Safe to say, I don't like this person :)

Grabs coat,

Looks for door,

Quickly mentions he quite likes insignias

:lol:

I think that when people purchase a car associated with Germany, ie mercs, they also buy into thinking they can 'storm' across innocent villages, rounding up innocent 'foriegn' cars and putting them in barns before shooting them in the header tank, then onwards to blitzkrieg up and down our once peaceful roads in a ruthless attempt to re educate the masses about Vorsprung dork technique,how to wipe your butt efficiently and excessive use of the two fingered salute!!
