Local Poseurs

[LotusOmega375D]

What's your neighbourhood Poseur cruising around in these days? I'm sure we've all got one, desperate for attention. Ours has a 996 Cabrio.

One of the scooter kids in the village bought an MX5 with a body kit. But then he realised he could use it to go somewhere else, so he has. No one else seems to drive around slowly between the two shops.

It doesn't get out enough to qualify!

[Papa Hotel]

An Aston Martin, I don't know which model, they all look the same.

What's the difference between posing and going out for a drive and appreciating your car then?

[PHmember]

What about when it's a nice day, I've got the roof down & I have to go to a shop for something? Do I have to put the roof up because of somebody elses short-sighted opinion?

Actually, it's a 997 Cabrio, and I think you'll find it makes me look incredible, dahling.

When you drive round the Kingston ringroad more than once and are not lost.

GTR R33 Skyline.

Driven round and round the local town streets. Never stupidly it has to be said.

That's the sort of thing I mean.

I'm not dissing any cars, just curious to know what these people drive these days.

I've been cruising around with the roof down all day today. It has been lovely, does that make me an attention seeking poseur?! If it annoys you I hope so..

Er... 306 diesels sitting an average of 1 inch from the ground

Red 360 cab.

Yellow 996 GT3.

[Timbola]

Sitting for a drink outside a bar off Park Lane, any number of Ferraris, Lambos, Continental GTs, Maseratis and other exotic machinery, round and round and round and round.

Makes for a pleasurable way to pass a beer or six.

[Dog Star]

Sadly not any more but the next place up the valley had some nutters who had what appeared to be a tank! Saw it going up and down every now and again. God knows how much fuel it used.

[CoolHands]

one of these with race exhausts. Looks and sounds ridiculous.

[Dave200]

On the Kings Road in Chelsea, almost anything you can think of made by Ferrari, Lambo, Aston or Maserati. All frequently oscillating between 5-25mph in first gear (regardless of traffic), while the driver tries hard not to get caught looking around to see if anyone is watching him. They will continue this peacock charade back and forth all afternoon on the weekends, impressing nobody but Russian hookers.

It's the most tragic thing I've ever seen... And bloody annoying when you live close by and don't like spending all weekend with your windows closed.

[B3ALP]

do you mean riding around enjoying the car that he has bought with his hard earnt while you sit
jealously looking at him?

If so its a white Gallardo round our way

You forgot to mention the single hand at the top of the wheel. Always the sign of a skilled driver.
