I exepct to see them bullying their way throgu traffic. Even if the driver is come council estate mum. A bit like pick-up drivers, but without the obligatory shaved head

I have a 4.6 iS and a shaved head but at least I can spell

Do you automatically think drug dealer or footballers wife?

No, I don't.

I try not to prejudge any vehicle by social stereotype and consider each driver by my observation rather than opinion. Just because you see a few people in a certain type of car driving like pillocks it doesn't automatically mean all people who drive those vehicles are just as knobish, with the exception of the Citroen Picasso that is.

Never have done and now I own one never will, I really like my X5 despite the typical stereotyping from knobbers like the OP which, for the majority of X5 owners is wholly unjustified

Well I've got 2 of the buggers so No and No.

Not a dig but why do you have 2? Are they that good that you and the wife both want to take it to work or that they just look nice matching on the drive? A couple near my mum and dad always have matching citroens and i never understood why, i'd treat it as an excuse to be able to pick which car i drive in the morning but now we've got 2 cars i always choose the same one as it's faster and has cruise control.

Have to agree, Picasso owners seem to be the 'king of road' types right now.

When I see an x5 or cayenne turbo the only thing I think is that I would love to have a go in that.

Probably wouldn't ever buy either but they look like a really good laugh.

Thought others on here appreciated cars, guess you're all to hung up on who is driving them to notice the car itself anymore.

Sad really.

From the knob thread he's my break down of Picasso drivers...


Citroen Picasso's.

If it's a young woman driving you know the operation of the actual vehicle is about 19th on her list of things to do.

If it's an elderly driver of either gender it will have dogs in the back and driven at 20mph below the speed limit so the dogs don't get travel sick.

If it's an older woman driving it will be driven so haphazardly because she's not used to such a big car.

If it's a young male driver, he will be driving like a complete tt due to being completely emasculated.

If it's an older male driver it's a Hackney Carriage and will be driving like a tt as a default setting.

No. And why would drug dealers be bad drivers?

Too much speed?

Enough tickets they do have.

'Yep, that'd be ideal for the wife and kids for the miles we do'.

Usually my first thought.
