3D plates look sh*t too.

Not only that, but they also slow your car down...

...from someone who champions the lightweight car. Every gram counts! LOL.

Oh god not this st again.

I have a friend who has a highly modified Scirocco R, he is a carpenter, another has a standard Scirocco tfsi , he is fireman, another has a 2.0tdi and is a cloud storage solutions consultant. That must make your observation of 1 car null.

Apparently I drive chav cars, if not driving a chav car I'm in an old man's car and if i'm not in that I'm driving something that normally gets called a Scirocco even though it isn't or I drive an attention seekers car.

Basically you can stuff your stereotypes, it's possibly one of the worst traits of car enthusiasts when some get so obsessed about ridiculous stereotypes that they miss out and don't drive some fantastic cars.

PH is comedy gold when it comes to this kind of nonsense stereotyping , just wait until a MX5 owner joins the party.....

I guess most people must be schizophrenic then as you can own multiple brands or marques.

Old, big Ford's are driven by people who need to use both hands on the roof to get out.

This theory of mine was confirmed when I moved to NZ and Ford Falcon owners came in two styles. Massively overweight or unwashed Bogan.

I'm thinking of buying a Ford Ranger - a double cab, to use as a normal car. I realise this means I will need to shave my head and don a tank top and gold necklace, before hanging out by a boxing club drinking protein shakes and being very angry all the time....

Unfortunately the Wildtrak that Ford offer isn’t as overly aggressive as the Barbarian, Trojan, Invincible, or Raging Bull models that other manufacturers sell, so you’ll have to over compensate somehow.
