The school run car show

[Streetrod]

Now before everyone dives in, yes my kids go to private schools and I make no apologies for that. But even I have been surprised at the quality of motors outside the gates of my youngest new school over the last 2 days.

Today’s selection has included a brand new Aston DBS, Maserati Gran Turismo, Two newish Conti GT's, Porsche GT2, with full cage (nice) and a Ferrari California. All apart from the Porsche were driven by petite but wonderfully turned out yummy mummies. We also had the usual selection of RR Vogue's, no Sports strangely and Merc convertibles all in black.

I thought we were in a recession???

As was to be expected the quality of parking was atrocious.

I felt terribly under dressed as I was wearing my biking gear; I leave the car at the station and cycle home each day.

What’s been your new school car experience?

So you either a) live at the station, or b) leave a car permanently at your local station, or c) have a minion deliver your car home to you each evening?

You are bonkers fking mental chap.

Or none of the above. I leave the car at the local train station as Ms Streetrod collects it from there in the afternoon on her way home from work and then goes and collects the wee one. I use the half hour ride home as my bit of exercise; I work from home most days

Nope, that's option 'C'

See!! I like what you did there Oh hello dear, me on PH again??, of course not, talking about you? Would I ever... what’s for dinner?

I remember when I was a kid one of the kids dads dropped him off in the then new Rover SDI 3500. That kids street cred went up 100 points that day as we all thought it looked like a four door Ferrari Daytona

Ok guys and girls (let’s not be sexist now) lets put a different spin on this. Let’s pretend you are starting your new school today, you still retain your vast knowledge of the automotive world. What car would like your parents to drop you off in that would make you the star of the playground but not lead to you being bullied? It also needs to make your dad look attractive to the other mummies and your mum be seen as a class act.

Over too you

If it were me it would have to be this, how cool would your mum look in this?

If you're trying to impress young lads, it's got to be a Veyron surely? Every 11 year old boy would recognise a Veyron.

Young lads yes, but would the other mums and dad just think you are rich tt trying too show off. Remember you also have to gain the respect of the other mums and dads, thats the hardest part

I think to fill all those qualities, it has to be a classic car.

On my Daughters first day in reception class I dropped her off in a black Scania R620 (no trailer the car park wasn't big enough and yes I did give the air horns a quick blast as I waived after dropping her off )

She was over the moon

I like the cut of your jib sir
