Share your petrolhead sacrilege

[16plates]

I hate MX5's - Every time i see one i check who's driving, 9 times out of 10 it's a woman, the other 1 time out of 10 it is some emo kid with a load of face furniture who thinks he is a drift king from hong kong.

I find Alfa Romeos boring... they look great but they are slow and dull.


I once swapped a series 2 Escort RS Turbo for an E36 BMW 328i and missed the escort every single day, despite the fact it was leaky, loud, old and chavvy.

I had the most fun I've ever had in a car this weekend, and didn't exceed 30 mph.

4hr drift experience in a 2WD R32 Skyline!

I don't like any modern Ford or Vauxhall and will probably never buy one.
I like the GT86 and there's a good chance it's my next car.
I can't get into MotoGP but love watching IOM TT
I like DSG gearboxes but do yearn for a good manual while we still have a chance to drive them
I don't get Alfa Romeo's.
I do like F1 but didn't during the Schumacher years. It's probably why I hate Vettel but it's not a German thing. I think Hulkenburg is a great driver and deserves a decent seat next year.
I don't service my own cars any more.

I don't like the Lamborghini Miura.

I think the front looks stupid.

[irocfan]

bored today so I was flicking around and found this thread so here goes <deep breath>

I actively dislike most modern BMWs
I like Jags and Mercs
I love Yankee muscle
I like our RRS diesel

so let's see I've resurrected an old thread and stated I don't dislike diesels... st, I hadn't actually put that had I? Oh well <shrugs and awaits the baying mob>

I prefer driving the van rather than the MR2 in winter traffic.

[JakeThePeg]

I dislike the MX5.
I think Ferrari is vulgar.
I respect Porsche, but wouldn't like one.
I like the GT86, but it has too little power for my taste.
I'm not a huge fan of the GTR.
I like misbadging your car (M3 labelled as a 320i, not visa versa)
I hate vulgar modifications, I prefer a subtle approach. (see Litchfield GTR for an example)
I don't dislike Audi's cars. The S4 is lovely, and the A7 looks good.
I don't see all of this "You're not a true petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa" bks. Alfa's are nice cars, but not wanting one doesn't make me less of a petrolhead than anybody else.
To be a petrolhead you must have 2 cars, 1 "daily" 1 "weekend.

I have no interest in hot hatches.

I don't like the Audi Quattro. I looks like it was designed by someone who only had a pen and a ruler and its bodyshell is sitting on top of the wheelbase of a car 2/3 the size.

[PowerslideSWE]

I think that anyone who willingly pays 25 grand for an old Escort Cossie should have their head examined by a proffesional.

And to pay 38-ish million dollars for a 60's Ferrari is stupid beyond imagination.

My daily is a lowered VW with stretched tyres!

My weekend car is a lowered VW with massive balloon tyres!

[Dan_1981]

I sold my Evo and bought a Saab.

[Evo141n]

I let my 8v integrale rust, then sliced it up with an angle grinder
I now drive a Volvo =
I've never understood how model numbering works on Mercs CLK??? :-/

[thatdude]

I can not heel-toe

I've never found myself in a situation, either by accident or through active effort, that requires a dab of oppo.

[TommoAE86]

I enjoyed my MG ZT more than my Jag. I hate all Ferrari's except for the Daytona & the F40. I agree with JC's Porsche hating bandwagon, such horrible cars.

[Marc p]

Ok, heres mine:

I think the 911's are a rediculously over priced sports car.
I don't like FWD cars.
I don't have a hatred for diesels(just tolerance).
I think a Tesla looks like a Peugeot/Renault/mundane French car.
I'd rather have a Mustang than a BMW 135/235/335.

[andburg]

I have no desire for back to basics track cars

[Dave Hedgehog]

i dislike with a passion

anything

FWD
Oil Powered
Rover
MG
Original Mini
Beatles
BL
Vauxhall
EV
Stanced

hmm probably more

[rustyabarth]

Nothing i have owned or had the pleasure of having a drive in puts such a bit grin on my face as my Cinquecento

I cant stand diesel convertibles, they make the wrong noise.

Bini's (apart from the original) are awful and slowly getting worse.

Next car is going to be a TVR Chimaera

[AlexHat]

I quite liked the Chevrolet Spark I had as a hire car a few years back. No power and sloppy gearshift, but it had half a digital dash!

[anonymous-user]

I don't have any desire for lightweight sporty cars like hot hatches. I like my cars to be big, heavy, barge-like and full of toys.
