Moral of it is that the following, is emberassing.



Although the rest of pistonheads appear to disagree with me, and slate me for driving a Bmw.

In Shell Station Wokingham... paying for my unreasonably priced tank of fuel....

All of a sudden I hear a loud noise, everyone in queue turns to look, what is this loud sporty sound, is it a Porsche? a Lotus perhaps? no it's a Corsa... W reg...

Now I totted up in my head

Car well lets be generous £1,000
New Metallicy Grey Chrome Wheels £2,000
The World's BIGGEST spoiler.... £100
The World's most power draining LOUD exhaust £150 ?
RECARRO Seats ?????? in a corsa.... £500
New Bonnet that uses race style pins £400
Respraying the entire car a nice blue colour £1,000
Putting an induction kit and turbo in £500
RIPSPEED Stickers 50p ?
Parts and labour for Halfords to fit it all £2,000
Probably a very loud stereo system £8,000


Sniggering at the car while walking back to mine (which was luckily parked next to it) getting in, putting down the ELECTRIC window to listen to the girl in the recarro passenger seat WIND her window and shout "WHAT" at me and then say "WITH ALL THAT MONEY YOU COULD HAVE BOUGHT A DECENT CAR" (with a James Bond style tone of smoothness and brilliance) and politely turning off traction control and wheel spin off the forecourt exit as unsuspecting butch kebab eating darts playing boyfriend returns.......... PRICELESS

Long live TVR. I'll get one.. somehow..
Wow. I bet that made you feel all superior.

So you run a derv burning compact BMW (that someone else bought you) but aspire to a TVR and use this aspiration to piss on someone's bonfire by insulting their P&J even if it is a chavmobile?

Wow.

The point is he will live at home with mummy and daddy until he is 40 to feed his addiction to the beloved 1.2 Corsa.

Corsa + Modification = SAD.

Now, perhaps it is unfair to slate them, in part I feel it is partly the same as laughing at a blind man (something you'd never do right?) well the driver of this car is blind to see that he is a CHAV, and should save his money and buy something worth while.

Anyone who slates having a company car is just jealous, especially when it's an inland revenue approved company car, meaning my company foot the tax bill, so I pay NOTHING for the car, and pay £50 towards the fuel card for all I can use.

All motoring cost = £50 a month, I feel so stupid, I should have opted out and spent £500 a month buying it, stupid me.

Besides it's not a 316, its the nippy diesel... much better I'd personally have that over an old out of date MR2.

If you walk the streets with a rubber strap-on cock on your head you deserve to have the piss taken out of you.

Same principle applies to the max-lax-cax brigade.

I had an Escort once, 1.6 16v, N reg, was fine, would not have liked to have ruded it up, would have felt like an Essex boy.

The MR-2 Coupe has 167bhp, which is 17bhp more than my Diesel, more torque than 330nm ?????

So you may have modified it, for £200 I could purchase a tuning box from Van-arken and have 190bhp and leave that for dust.

Sadly for me I suspect you have made it 200 bhp +

The Bmw is a quality product.

Well better than entering the forecourt sounding like a bus in a Corsa.



I agree there.

Don't see many Spiders on the road, looks nice (quick win some friends to back me up)

The Corsa driver also had rebook popper trousers and a polo shirt........ (white trainers)

I agree there. :nod:

If I was there at the time when you performed this apparently "Polite" move, I would simply have thought "D1ckhead". Incidentally, I'm thinking that at the moment anyway.......

Why was the TC on in the first place in order for you to turn it off? All that "Torque" in your entry level Beemer too much for you?!

If I see a badly modified car, I'll have a quiet snigger to myself and think no more of it - I wouldn't go to the lengths of posting about it on a forum like this.

So in summary - grow up and get a life.

I feel quite sorry for you - your peers have not approved your actions. I'm not sure verbally chastising the car owner's companion is a gentlemanly thing to do, but I suspect there would be a few more cheers within this thread had you been at the helm of a TVR when you made your comment...

On PH a rumble between a BMW driver and a Lax Chaviot driver is one without an ally. Both shall be thrown to the lions.

Chav's need insulting.

Luckily max power cars help lower the population of Chav's as they forget to think about the safety aspect of their wicked motors.

>> Edited by chris_freebie on Tuesday 14th December 17:08



On the contrary pal, by your actions all you did was lower yourself to their level - wheelspinning out of a petrol station forecourt is exactly the behaviour of the Chavs you are attempting to ridicule.

As for the wannabe comment - "wannabe" by definition means for one to asprire to something. Thus, I don't asprire own a Volvo, I'm simply contemplating one as a wafter / leave anywhere car.

Anything else you'd like me to clarify for you?

Well most 22 year olds don't have tax-free company cars, let alone bmw's.

I want to agree, as we BM owners have to stick together round here. However a gentleman is never intentionally rude. And such actions perpetuate the BMW man myth.

But I would like to defend you... But I have to go and drive very fast indeed round the M25 so the oiks know their place.

But, but, but, gah!
