Mention a particular car, someone has to mention...

[J4CKO]

The S8 thread made me think, someone mentions that model and you can guarantee someone will mention Ronin, a fairly mediocre 1998 Robert De Niro film that is otherwise pretty much forgotten except for the car chasing starring the aforementioned Audi.

Its like it has to be mentioned, it is the law, same with these, even though they are usually not 100 percent true and often are just regurgitated Clarkson quotes.

What other examples are there ?


Porsche 924 - "Its got a van engine you know"

Chrysler Crossfire - "Looks like a dog parking its breakfast"

Jaguar X Type - "You are aware you are driving a Mondeo ?"

Fiat 126 - "We picked one up and turned it round"

Audi TT - "You a hairdresser"

Any MPV - "Looks like you have given up on life"

Austin Allegro: "More aerodynamic in reverse"

[ChocolateFrog]

Boxster - couldn't afford the 911. Although I admit less so these days.

[Triumph Man]

Reliant Scimitar - "Princess Anne had one of those"

[ChocolateFrog]

TVR - unreliable.

[Mammasaid]

Any BMW - did you spec the indicators?

Wash your filthy mouth out, it's one of the best 90s spy thrillers and has some of the best car chases in cinema history.

Speaking of the fuzzy-haired idiot, heard a corker the other day. He was comparing the V8 S4 to the E46 M3, and uttered the immortal "...and with its Quattro 4WD system it provides tonnes more grip than the BMW."

I mean the man's obviously clueless, but for someone of his stature to make a throwaway comment like that I thought was priceless! Granted the Quattro system might provide greater traction in wet weather from a standing start, but a car will only grip as much as its tyres will allow - 4wd won't defy the laws of physics
