What if it is another Discovery, or any other large sided vehicle whose doors clear your side steps?

This thread (which I'm enjoying immensely) is like PH bingo.

It's got all the usual hate figures present and correct, women drivers, poor people, people on benefits, chavs, people with children, people who drive SUVs, people who can't afford an SUV so drive a pretend SUV, people who drive people carriers, poor people who drive a posh car on PPC grrrr!

Think you mean PCP.

This thread has also got people who correct others. hehe

P.S. "poor" people couldn't afford to drive a "posh" car even on PCP.
Average income people could afford to drive a posh car on PCP.
Then again I suppose it depends on what your definition of a posh car is. wink

I suppose I could have got it really wrong and mentioned people driving on PCP.

I was given to understand from PH that council estates are rammed with 40 grand motors driven by people who can barely afford the monthly repayments. Posh is a subjective term, but in this case I mean anything new or nearly new, with a prestige badge on the back.

The obvious 3 German ones for sure, but i still reckon poor people would not be able to afford the monthly rentals on a new example from either.

Perhaps I should have used the term aspirational.

Absolutely right.

It's quite mental letting a car cause you anxiety or compromise where you can go with it or where you can leave it or allow one keep you awake worrying at night. Been there and done that and have become aware life's too short and peace of mind is way to important to let cars fk it up.

Swallow your pride and get a shed. The sense of liberation that comes from having nothing to prove and nothing to loose is overwhelming.
And why just apply it to cars? My house came with a kitchen I really don't like. I keep thinking about replacing it. My other half has just had a lovely new kitchen put in hers, acres of pale grey and white quartz, which she is paranoid about the kids staining. Yesterday one of the kids spilt curry on my worktop and was fretting about it - I told them not to worry. My horrible tiles won't stain and I don't care if they do, because I hate them. Having st things you don't really care about truly is liberating wink

You managed to get a military jet in a car park ?

nono Particularly pleasant area of the Suffolk coast as it happens.

I'd rather stick my cock into a sack of angry puff adders than be out and about anywhere in Essex on a bank holiday weekend.

I once backed into a Supermarine Swift in the car park of an army surplus shop, luckily didn't seem to do any visible damage (aluminium on aluminium).

I think I mentioned it to the lady in the shop but she didn’t sound overly bothered (it was in a shocking state at the time).

I thought of this thread last night, as I squeezed my family wagon into the gap between the wall and the Forester at my local supermarket...



Probably less than 5 feet between the cars. Luckily was still like that when I came back...
