Frazer Nash cars. Only ever seen one over-restored flashy one in my life. The rest are "well used" by their owners.

Rolex.
Very Jimmy Saville
incredibly, if you ever see someone clearly showing off a watch (shirt sleeve tucked behind it), then it is more often than not a looky looky rolex (failing that, a breitling!)
Jimmy's Rolex.
Any company the sells such items is pure Chav.

Heh

The pre-facelift 156 is a favoured chav-chariot.
yep
Damn. That's the problem with these things I suppose, like the E36. There's a group willing to look after them and care for them properly (such as my dad with his Alfa 156), yet they get cheap and fall into the wrong hands completely. Shame.

ETA: I was looking at the 325 tds the other day, pretty much all of them had a barried exhaust, stupid wheels, and a halfords special gearknob. Sickening.

Well, Fachinger is something your GP would prescribe you, you don't use it to make a Bourbon Soda. Tastes very salty.

Re RAC - out of town? It is right on Pall Mall. Maybe you are confusing it w/Hurlingham?

So, if you have never been to Bucks or Pratts, then just s the f u as you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

Well, German tap water is usually on par/better than the bottled stuff. Yes. Some of the bottled stuff, eg. Faechinger, is horrible. Tates as if it's had fish swimming in it.
Re Riesling - very complex matter, but you are right. Also depends which region (Rheingau/Mosel/Kaiserstuhl etc)

Have you been to Bucks/Pratts? [b]No. I've been to plenty of the rest. I get the appeal of the atmosphere and the wine cellars, but most have mediocre food. The RAC with its pool and gym has extra appeal, but it's too far from the City to make sense. If I lived out of town, they'd make a lot more sense.

John Deere - the only way to cut the grass
Chavviest tractor brand... John deere and fendt are chav. (more expensive and flash)

hehe

Valtra are the least chav make. drivingbiggrin
JD's with their yellow and green liverys just shout brash wink You want a nice understated blue New Holland wink
Surely David Brown and Ferguson are the two least chavy tractor brands?

Besides a flock of sheep the best way to cut grass...

Apologies if its re-posted- as I haven't read the complete thread, but the one brand that I cannot associate in any way with 'Chav' is Riva.
I just cant imagine splashing around on the shores of Lake Garda to have my day interrupted by a clan of shell suit clad morons piloting one of these-

There's something of a cost barrier.

It is beautiful though.

People must like the smell of old baber shops then, often complimented on it!

Agreed- KornFerry is such an obvious choice for the non-discerning HR VP.

Please explain.

Aspinal is a self-made brand with only a few (<10) years of legacy.

Aspinal.
So what?
I think Aspinall is very much on the cusp of being a chavvy. Some nice products but sometimes just trys to hard - glaring colours etc. I imagine it sells well in the USA or to Russians.

That said their card holders are excellent.

Company branded polos! hehe

One of the wealthiest people I know dresses daily with polos from movie sets he's worked on and just an old pair of jeans. He also wears a 1970's Rolex and occasionally drives his Bentley GT otherwise it's his 1980's Merc SL.

Awesome chap.

Unless you saw him driving his Bentley you wouldn't suspect a thing!
I'd love to be rich enough to pull off this look. Instead I spend too much time and money trying to make it look like I am.

I can see the irony of this.

I'm saying that clubs in the West End, in general, would make more sense if I lived out of town.

Faechinger comes in hotel mini bars all over Germany. Horrible stuff.

So, are Bucks and Pratts radically different from all the other clubs?
