Do owners of certain marques have certain characteristics?

[pixieporsche]

A friend of mine thinks I buy all the wrong cars for my personality so ...

We've all heard that "Audi owners are agressive drivers" and that "Saxo owners are little chavs" ... does anyone seriously think there is anything in this?

Are most -
BMW drivers wannabe's who think they've "made it"?
Focus ST owners, chavs?
Alfa owners, driving enthusiasts?
Jaguar owners, dodgy and caddish?
Porsche owners, having mid-life crisis?

Discuss.

P.S. this is just meant to be a little fun

[Zaxxon]

Alfa owners - good mechanics or soon will be.
Skoda owners - cheapskates
Ferrari owners - men with small willies
Lamboghini owners - Italian playboys
Honda owners - over 60
Vw campervan owners - wannabe surfers that have never seen the sea

Ford Focus - Adonis

[rallycross]

Currently have the following and drive them all:

Vauxhall
Nissan
Porsche
Ford
BMW
Citroën (race car)
Vw
Honda

So if I out sprint you off the traffic lights in my 1.2' polo would you stereo type me as a mad polo driver?
What if half an hour later we were at a roundabout but this time I was in the Porsche and going slowly?

Don't think it works really -'other than Rover drivers who tend to be either causing a mobile roadblock or have broken down!

[jbi]

I prefer to break it down by model

For example...

BMW

1 series - Woman/hairdressers, likes bright colours
3 series - pushy salesmen, likes dark green and grey
5 series - practical family man, likes metallic silver
7 series - approachable individual, will probably let you out, likes dark red

Audi

A1 - Cock
A3 - Cock
A6 - Cock
A8 - Cock

One that I've seen time and time again...

Vauxhall Calibra - 30+, unemployed, bit of a geezer.

ROFL!

I of course don't think it works?

I own:
Porsche 944
Rover P6 V8
MGB GT V8
MGB Roadster

... so I'd have to be a mid-life crisis pushy type, whos grown a beard and forever breaking down ... turns out I'm none of them.

Next car is to be a Series 1 XJ6 so now I'm a bank robbing, bearded and balding bloke whos forever breaking down ...

Caterham owners:

Foreheads pitted by various insects and flying gravel.

Ruddy complexion.

Impervious to rain.

Unfeasibly large penises.

So you have to get rid of yours then?

TVR owners - patient people
Bentley Owners - Rich
Aston owners - rich and stylish
Range Rover owners - can't drive nor judge just how big that f***ng barge is

Oh goody, today's stereotypes thread, this should bring some fresh new material.

The answer is yes, I drive an E-Class and an MX-5, and I am indeed Vidal Sassoon, an old hairdresser.

[anonymous-user]

Noooooooooooooooooooo!

[Ironballs]

Not enough chest hair on that Griff owner, who by the way, looks uncannily like a cross between Michael Caine and the Hoff

[Some Gump]

IMO, no.
For everyone who follows the stereotype, there are 4 that don't.

[hesnotthemessiah]

Old MG owners; like getting oily, talking about nuts, bolts and valve clearances.
