Please add the following to the list:-

Oof, I did a sex wee (on seeing a pic of a nice car).

That will polish out/Bit of T-Cut (on seeing a pic of a car smashed to pieces).

Cognitive dissonance (the phrase of choice for fkwits in politics threads).
I **literally** need these after reading this

People who talk about cars in a sexual way or humanise them disturb me. Lighthearted or not, "Car x has a sexy arse" or "She's got sexy lines" can never be anything other than fking weird.

Man cave.

A man being given 'permission' by his wife to spend his own money.

Some of the (frankly ridiculous) suggestions on the council thread which show some posters' rabid desperation to portray a superior image/lifestyle.

Last time I looked it was 2017, all mainstream cars are quite comfortable and well equipped and if you don't buy a Range Rover, they'll work properly too.

My Jazz will feel like a Rolls Royce compared to a Lada. Again, "A nice place to be" make me cringe, it makes me think knob and it make me want to punch people in the face and I wouldn't tire doing so

hehe

Man cave is a good one, although the term is somewhat misleading.

In my experience, the typical owner of a man cave possesses a similar level of social etiquette to that of a Neanderthal, although "the cave" is generally filled with Lego, models and posters, none of which can be classed as manly.

I would always seek to avoid anybody who claims to own a man cave.

"Track Work", as in anyone describing a given car and its suitability for circuit driving, it isnt "work", it is the most frivolous and utterly self indulgent pursuit known to man, also one of the most fun but it isnt "work", its as far from work as you can get.

People who say "For my sins", oh do fk off, you are an accountant because you got GCSE maths and didnt have the eyesight to be an airline pilot, not because of your past deeds in a quasi religous context being considered a sin.

Anything "Cheeky", Nandos, Pint, makes me shudder.

Just thought of another one.

Last Sunday I went along to a local Pistonheads meet. I took my shiny new Fireblade along and parked it in a parking bay between an V12 Vantage and a GTR. Over the next hour, lots of other PHers turned up in a pretty impressive variety of metal; everything from MX5s to Gallardos and Ferrets to classic Ferraris. All rather lovely.

Next thing I know, I get a tap on the shoulder from someone and we have a little exchange...

"Hi mate, is that your bike?"
"Yeah!" (at this point I was expecting a 'thats lovely, that is' response)
"My dad's coming along in his McLaren in a minute, can you move it out of the way so he can park there?"
"Erm, I'll be going in a bit anyway."

I was stunned someone would have the cheek! Top tip: if you want to park in a specific spot, get there when the meet starts. Don't ask other members to move out of the way because you deem them less worth of a parking space.

This and station car, as if you are travelling from your 4000 acre Highland shooting estate rather than a semi-detached on a new build.

"Just about to pull the trigger on..........."

Used when reffering to the imminent purchase of something that is usually quite expensive.

Here's one I've always found cringeworthy...

Putting other people's opinions down as jealousy simply because they don't tally with your own.

I'd have told him to fork off.
