One single thing that makes you think "knob"

Oh. When I sold my Lotus Carlton I put my 'plate onto my Range Rover. Sorry if that offends.

I fully expect that just about every motoring demographic will be represented in this very thread, and that lots of people will either be offended, or make sarcastic remarks about not really being offended at all (like your point).

The thread asks what makes you think knob. I posted what I think is knobbish. In the grand scheme of things, my opinion doesn't matter a single iota I'm not going to defend taking part in the thread

That is all.

Driving to work this morning i saw a Range Rover in the new 'Essex White' at it had a private plate on it that was so badly altered/hacked about with i couldnt work out a) what it was trying to say or b) what it originally was and it just made me think, 'knob' - even though it was a nice car etc

What single thing on a car makes you instantly think 'knob' ?

Honestly?

For me, it's people who get so worked up as to post on an internet forum their subjective assessment of an individual based on the car he/she drives.

It's pathetic.

2.)Idiots that speed up when you try to overtake

I don't know why they do this. If I see someone overtaking me, I wait until they are fully committed to the move and then slow down to reduce the danger time IYSWIM. But then... I am powerfully-built.

Driving this sort of thing in the UK:



Any SUV with huge alloys and rubber band tyres.

Aftermarket DRL's

Any car with that sticker showing a kid pissing on a football shirt

There is also a special place in hell for people who drive up to roundabouts in the left hand lane, indicate right, and then go straight on.

People who use terms like 'Essex White'. It could equally be 'Surrey White' or 'Oxfordshire White'. It's not a geographic phenomenon.

Humour - not a fan?

I thought it was Cheshire white?

In all fairness to the OP a fair few of those people driving blinged up Range Rovers are well, knobs.

Getting over taken in the dark by someone that refuses to use main beam. Its not even like they're going slowly as I'll be doing 60 when I get over taken so they're doing at least 70. What makes them think they can see enough? KNOB!!

mlm's / drl's / fast lane hoggers on DC / loud exhausts that are far too loud for the car.

The most recent one to infuriate my piss into molten lava is people usually taxi drivers who stop in a normal road and put hazards on to take fare / take phonecall / check somthing / get somthing out the boot.

Get the fk off the road and bump up on the kerb for the fking 1minute your going to be stopped for. fking cretins.

Even people who break down are guilty of this "oh, oh the cars breaking down, ill just roll to a stop here shall i?"

Maybe you should use some of the cars momentum to get the fk out of the way and not ruin everyone elses journey aswell you fking fk!


for the record i like the work fk.


And i dont condone parking on kerbs, but for minor stops its much preffered imo.

People carriers being driven fast, like the driver has to prove a some sort of point.

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but the amount of people who break down outside the chippy/off licence/newsagents near me is incredible...

Phone Halfords and ask for a set of normal lights for your lex-arse. It'll keep you amused for at least ten minutes.

Then ask if they sell "woofers" and then tell them it's illegal without a breeders licence.

Or sitting in the middle of the road waiting for a fare when theres a perfectly good parking space nearby
