Nothing makes you think Sport like a transit van, with stripes and aircon.

I had a Seat Ibiza 1.4 Sport.

I think the confusion here is that people read 'sport' and think 'motorsport', and that the car must then be quick.

Lawn bowls is a sport.

Suzuki did an SJ sport

My first car was a MK2 Fiat Punto Active Sport. It had 60 BHP and would only do 100 down a hill with the wind behind it.

It was basically a Punto Active with the Seats and steering wheel from the 1.2 Sporting, which also probably could feature in this thread.

No confusion from my part, it's just daft though isn't it

The irony being it probably ended up with an owner who fitted neon lights and a massive sound system

I know what you mean. Most automotive marketing is daft to be honest

I actually quite like Ford Transit Sport....I think I'm turning into a bit of a chav.

Oh yeah baby...

"...the R-Sport was based on the DLS trim level featuring sporting additions such as self-adhesive 'R-Sport' decals and rev counter..."

Still, a rev counter in an early 80's hatch was pretty rock and roll.

Apparently for some reason you don't get a spare wheel because it's the "Sport"

I've said this before, but people referring to their car as a "sport" really irritates me. "I drive a BMW sport" No, that's a 318d with a bodykit.

I don't refer to my car as a "BMW SE".

Ah, but is it named after Roland Garros the pioneer aviator and First Word War flying ace - and a very speedy fellow - or Roland Garros the stadium named after Roland Garros the very speedy aviator?

Had a Renault Scenic 1.6 16v Sport Alize back in around 2000. It's a f***ing minibus for f**k sake
