Talking about stuff over dinner this evening;

My son decided that he would be a Bugatti Veyron, as he likes to get stuff done quickly

My wife decided she would be an RS6 Avant, as she is very practical, dependable, but a little naughty when she wants to be

Apparently, I am a TVR Griffith, as I'm loud, shouty, overtly bad & not at all practical

Over to you........

M5 estate. Practical, powerful, thirsty, surprisingly agile for something so large, and mainly in the fast lane.... whistle

I'd be a mclaren F1 LM...

I do nothing 99% of the time (I'm lazy) and spend my time being pampered (eating food) lounging around or in a garage until I'm ready to hit the gym tongue out and I go rawwwwwwwww winkhehe

Probably a wheezy Mk3 Ford Capri.

Lazy, slow-ish and requires a certain type person to find me attractive but with a bit of effort I can scrub up well and still provide a good time thumbup

Well, I'd like to think I'm like an Audi RS2. Easy going and reliable most of the time, but can be exciting and surprisingly athletic when the time is right.

I dare say my girlfriend would say I'm more like a Stag; needs constant cajoling and plenty of attention before anything useful gets done.

A shagged old Audi Ur Quattro with a leaky door, worn drivers bolster and a boot that smells of old dogs.

Probably an E92 M3. Can be sensible most of the time but when someone gets me going I really go.

No. Cartoon cars, racing cars, moon buggies etc are all fair game. Just justify why!

I think I'd be my TVR 350I.

I've got a kinda pointy face, I'm trying to be younger than I actually am, I'm falling to bits a little bit, I drink too much but I'm still surprisingly reliable! smile

I'd be a Rover SD1 V8.
British, lazy, unreliable, reasonably fast, drinks too much, reasonably good looking/slightly weird looking, misunderstood by many, yet actually half decent if you're willing to accept it's faults.

Yep, that all sounds like me. Also later ones would be around the same age as me...

Am I allowed to say Chuck Norris would probably be a Land Rover. The censored thing wont die!!

I'd probably be a Vauxhall VXR8, fairly ugly, likes a drink, and I can't think of a way to bring sideways into this... idea

Your missus admitted to being naughty on times around the dinner table - with your son?!? I'm blushing for him lol!

As for me, I'd be a Focus RS, pretty good all rounder, quick and competent enough, but could definatley lose a bit of weight and increase my power a lot!

Caterham R500 - old school looks (i.e. I'm looking old!) , not very practical (I hate DI why?) fairly small but good power to weight ratio and agile too.
