The school run car show
Discussion
Now before everyone dives in, yes my kids go to private schools and I make no apologies for that. But even I have been surprised at the quality of motors outside the gates of my youngest new school over the last 2 days.
Today’s selection has included a brand new Aston DBS, Maserati Gran Turismo, Two newish Conti GT's, Porsche GT2, with full cage (nice) and a Ferrari California. All apart from the Porsche were driven by petite but wonderfully turned out yummy mummies. We also had the usual selection of RR Vogue's, no Sports strangely and Merc convertibles all in black.
I thought we were in a recession???
As was to be expected the quality of parking was atrocious.
I felt terribly under dressed as I was wearing my biking gear; I leave the car at the station and cycle home each day.
What’s been your new school car experience?

Ok guys and girls (let’s not be sexist now) lets put a different spin on this. Let’s pretend you are starting your new school today, you still retain your vast knowledge of the automotive world. What car would like your parents to drop you off in that would make you the star of the playground but not lead to you being bullied? It also needs to make your dad look attractive to the other mummies and your mum be seen as a class act.
Over too you
Over too you

If you're trying to impress young lads, it's got to be a Veyron surely? Every 11 year old boy would recognise a Veyron.
Young lads yes, but would the other mums and dad just think you are rich tt trying too show off. Remember you also have to gain the respect of the other mums and dads, thats the hardest partSturdyJ said:
