Smokers who have their windows open flicking ash out and letting their insidious smoke be drawn into your car before flicking the butt, usually still lit, into the queue of traffic. They then usually opick up their next fag or mobile phone...

You're right of course but every time I see a Pious I can't help myself. I just start muttering profanities about/at the owner.

I like to think that I'm generally a normal, level headed chap but that car and everything it stands for just upsets me intensely . Maybe I need to talk to someone professional.

Driving an American car in Britain.
Why is that wrong? People can drive what they like and due to the lack of "nice" cars produced in britain it's not suprising people drive american cars because they stand out from all the eurobox "boring" cars we have in Britain, It's no different to driving a German car in britain is it???
No, a German car will actually work in Britain. Without going off topic too much, I just think they look exceptionally cheap - hence why I think people who drive them are knobs.

Whenever I do something silly or don't notice someone else doing something silly while driving and think better of it shortly afterwards.
I usually end up thinking "Knob" and try to learn from the experience and not do it again ! paperbag

Ah, I get it...BMW and Audi drivers are c*cks not kn*bs, is that it? What do I win?
Parked next to such cars, my Mustang looks considerably better but thanks for the thought.
Which brings me to "people who seem to resent what you drive as they blend into the amorphous soup of styled-by-clone androgenous cars with slitty windows" wink

Agreed. I find myself hating them yet wanting to "bump uglies" at the same time.... getmecoat

I never mentioned drivers. Just the cars I hate.

And in your opinion it looks better, I think it looks vile if I'm being honest.

Yes, I've always found American muscle cars to be disappointing and ugly. Which is a shame, but then the American market is vastly different to the European market. American cars had no competition for many, many years and their domestic market was/is huge. So low quality wasn't an issue, because they were all producing the same sort of stuff.

X3/X5/X6 drivers have all ready been mentioned. I think.

Bit harsh on the Z4 though, I quite like them smile
Even more of a knob when an X3/X5/X6/M3/M5 plate is attached.

Ooh! Good one - worthy of a thread on it's own I think.

Big daft kiddie-fiddler MPVs - "daddy cool" my arse! - do always seem to be driven with "attitude" on the motorway, the blokes driving them seem to be full of pent-up fury, they must show everyone that the horrible van that their big fat heifer of a sprog-popping wife made them buy can hack it with the base Germans in the "fast lane". Ghastly vomit
my2.5 turbo s-max is probably quicker than most of the repmobiles and 3 series,who`s owners think they have got something special because it says bmw on the bonnet.
My Sharan VR6 can show a clean pair of heels to many supposed performance cars too. And no, I wasn't made to buy it by my wife, I actually bought it in the first place for her and then reclaimed it after I bought her a newer one as I actually rather like it. (For the record, it's not my only car though.)

Round here, RS seems to be the "plate" to get along with RX8 and various other efforts
