So I'm going to get some abuse but I imagine most of it will be hilarious. And perhaps I can give a little back as well.

So I own many vehicles but I'd say my go to because of how useful it is is a Dodge Ram 1500. Which I think probably says I enjoy spending a lot of time with my sister, Line Dancing / Country and Western & Have a tiny P@@is & don't care about road handling or the environment.

What car do you own as your only car / main driver and what do you think it says about you?

A Golf R Estate which says I can't afford to pay cash for a new one, or I'm involved in armed robberies.

And a freelander 2 which says I don't give a st (Which I don't as it's used to ferry the dog around !)

A 19 year old MX5, which bizarrely sometimes generates a "you flash git" type reaction from people, despite the fact they have just bought a brand new Ford Fiesta and the value of my car is less than the optional alloy wheel upgrade that they plumped for.

Five series M sport Touring with very dark rear windows and 19" CSL style wheels (I bought it like that honest, not many 530i's to chose from)

Drug dealer?

Honda Civic Type R FN2. It screams chav, but too much of a coward to buy an EP3/DC5.

I'm not even remotely chav, honest.

Not current - but an ASBO orange Ford Focus ST 225 (it had a bit more than 225 BHP).

Never judge a book by its cover.

Yes, more likely, you would think any vaguely successful dealer would stay more under the radar, the car was origanally owned by a university lecturer/prof.
