This is mine though it now has 17s rather than the 18s pictured.



It doesn't really say anything I don't think, to most people it's just a hatchback, neither new nor old nor cheap nor expensive. It's possibly the most universal car there is, driven by adult professionals, families, enthusiasts, non-enthusiasts, dubbers, chavs and everyone else besides.

For reference I am a 25yr old male software engineer.

Or if you're feeling brave post a description of you and your car (or a photo) and what you think it says about you.
No point having a description of me, that's the point. You are supposed to say what the car says about me

Laguna Coupe - individualistic
Infiniti G37 - individualistic

Alternatively they may think bonkerz as who knows who might want either come resale, but I like them both and almost never see another the same....

A 23-year-old has an Italian hatchback, probably has Green Flag on speed-dial.

Unusually, it seems non-car types think it's worth significantly more than the £5k I paid for it.

ETA: my car will probably draw a different image based on my... fashion choices!

CSL............................................................cock
E30 M3 with cage...............................................cock who should know better at his age
E30 320is with very vocal carbon airbox........................as above
E12 M535i......................................................heroic hairy chested legend, but more likely cock
993 Turbo......................................................cock
325Ti..........................................................poooofter

I have a C5 Allroad - I'm 26, quite short, single with no kids, bald-headed and I'm also ethnically challenged. God only knows what people think of me when I drive.

e36 cab - flash git (obviously as it's a BMW *and* a convertible it's worth loads of money)
Saab 9000 - poor
TVR S2 - hero (more likely flash git in unreliable old car)
Saab 900 T16S - old car

I really think that 90% of the population just see a metal box and don't notice the rest. Then 9% see the badge and make value judgements based on that. We are the other 1% wink

Jaguar xfr - car enthusiast or middle aged, middle class knob

Caterham r300 - as above I suspect.

In reality what do I care what they think, in either I am having fun.
Although I do like that the Caterham brings a smile to many.
