Car model racism thread.
Discussion
This will be an outrageous generalisation but there goes anyway:
VW Transporter vans, will laways be on the lane divider line (observed whilst riding a scooter). They will also attempt to block you from merging in front of them when moving off at traffic lights and your two lanes become one further up ahead. I don't know what it is but it's those transporter vans you that see with aftermarket alloys, go faster stripes and blue led lighting. I guess it attracts a particular kind of person. One who is stuck in a manual labour position, yet is more ambitious within it than their peers?
Nissan Micra, will aways turn right from a left hand lane and vice versa, guaranteed to wait 2 seconds after the traffic light turns green before moving off at glacial pace. Will more often than not, have side mirrors folded up and the rear mirror covered in cobewebs. They would be a liability if the car model itself did not serve as a massive "hazard" sign for other motorists on the road.
BMW 1 and 3 series, Two of the most vocal makes out there. Will be on the horn for the slightest transgression on someone else's part. Will happily rev the nuts off the engine to catch up the motorbike that just filtered past them in hope of reclaiming the road real estate in front of them, often at considerable danger to the motorcyclist. If you are in a car and indicating to change lanes into a spot in front of the beemer, you can rest assured that this gap will immediately close and you will both sit there, going fast nowhere for the next few minutes.
What other makes or brands would you like mentioned?

Wow in all my time on internet car forums I don't think we have ever had one of these....MX5s/TT/ any other cabriolet or car that looks 'pretty' is for gays an hair dressers
American cars - can't handle, poor plastics driven by people who think a cowboy hat is cool
Audis = cock
BMW = was a cock, now according to Clarkson no longer
Nissan - except GTR all granny cars GTR is for nerdy types who can only drive fast in straight line
VW- should have bought a Skoda an saved a couple of quid
Ferrari - poser, knows nothing about cars
Merc - can't drive "stick" an has crappy auto
Ford/vauxhall - poor cars claiming to still have an element of Britishness
British car - British layland assembled by monkeys often on strike
Lotus - elise = head gasket
Rover - HG
That covers it.

I assume you mean the modern ones? The classic campers tend to be on the hard shoulder instead.isee said:

Nice analysis and not far off the mark. They're usually the protein shake drinking, gym w
es who also have a slammed VW. The rimmed and tyred Transporter is for trailering said slammed VW to shows. Shows where they all wear their trousers half way down their arses and jerk each other off about how low their dubs are and how pretty their leather clad engine bays look.
I try to steer clear of Toyota Corollas, the older the worser. They tend to be driven by the most unaware out there, most often plodding along below traffic flow, and often in the wrong lane. They tend to slow down for exit ramps a half mile before the deceleration lane, and they were creeping along to begin with. Getting caught behind one mskes me wish I had push bars, illegal as it may be to actually shove another car out of the way.
I guess we started this with our accusing advertising campaign:
"The Morris Ital: styled in Italy, built in Britain"
30 years later they're hitting back with the jingoistically named Ferrari 458 Italia.
Whatever next? The long wheelbase Volkswagen Sudetenland camper van with extra Lebensraum?
