pointed out a picture of a DC5 integra type R to a member of staff as something i was looking at to be met with a puzzled look & a comment of "way too chav for you".

which may be a good thing but i was a bit crest fallen really.

had bmw's, porsches etc in the past.

but apparently i'm about 15 years to old for an integra frown

company director in a ricer?

The white doesn't help that Integra to be honest. They are much better in blue with silver wheels.

Screw what other people think!!!

I find it amusing that people care too much about what others think especially when I'm asked to justify my choices to people who can't even justify their own choice of car beyond - "it's got a 58 number plate" or it's a "TDI so good on fuel." There is no point listening to the opinions of people who clearly think of a car as a measure of social status.

Oh and PH relevant, don't listen to anyone who describes a specific car as being chav!

As much as that is your opinion, it's still wrong hehe

I would have thought that anyone who liked cars enough to sign up to PH would not have been enough of a fashionista to care what other people thought about what their car "said" about them.

Anything big. Look like a child driving my dad's car (despite the fact I'm 32!).

biggrin good thread!

First few are from google.....















My actual photos now!





The Csl on the right not the left!









Sold the Z4M now & looking forward to buying something else soon!
but i've got to say i do care what other people think about me & what i drive i guess, the DC5 would be a track & weekend toy, but i don't want people to think "mid-life crisis" when they see me driving in it!

Most people have a strange misconception about others' cars. Some of mine:

Highly modified Corsa 1.2 LS (aged 20) - when I say highly modified it looked the part but the engine was standard! Some middle aged blokes used to say it was a cool looking car, some 15 year olds said it was chav!

BMW E36 325i in Black - everything from drug dealer to family car

MR2 Rev 2 - Old shed to "is that a Ferrari"

Current 1998 Jaguar XJ8 3.2 Sport - I've been accused of being very flashy all the way to "you borrowed your grandads car today?"

Pretty much all of the above from people who know fk all about cars. I don't care what they think.
