Well, I agree with you to a point, I do make some first impressions based on the cars people drive. For instance, red ferrari = small dick. Porsche = small dick and bad taste. Anything with a spoiler = small dick, small brain and small wallet. And bad taste.

But leaving the knob cars aside, I (a female) make absolutely no first impressions based on car driven. Skoda v Mercedes? Nothing, zip. Absolutely no image of the driver is conjured up in my head whatsoever until he steps out of the vehicle. It's definitely a man thing!!

All I like to see is a sensible car and well driven. The make is irrelevant.

I agree on the knob cars ,grown (sic) out of them years ago , may get back into them when I have a mid life crisis or even an end of life crisis

So whats a girls problem in a "knob car"? small tits?

Veleta

God knows! It's not something you see every day, but I must admit when I see a female in a knob car I do wonder what is driving them. (pun intended!).

Well, what can one say? I've never been out with ladies who drive Ferraries, Porsches or cars with spoliers.

No that's not true, I went out with a lady who drove an escort with a spoiler, but she was of a normal size.

Blimey, there's some experience on this forum!

If shes the one in the foto then I know her as well

At least the one I had was a 1071 Cooper S

My first was a Hillman Minx , I was only 15 and kept it at a friends farm so my parents would not find out Guess I`d be in a care home if I got caught today at 15

My first was also a Hillman Minx, 1956 the old shape but it had the new Overhead valve engine.

Mine was the square bodied one dont remember the year of engine but it cost 15 quid if I remember right , had a bloody great hole in the passenger floor.

If only I`d have kept it ...it would be worth at least .......15 quid

When I first came to Spain I was going to buy an Audi A4 convertible or a Saab 9-3 convertible. Then I began to notice that everyone I saw who drove those cars look like knobs

I actually like the old Porches from the 70s and 80s they look really fun and cool. It's when someone steps out of a new one that they look smarmy.

I find it difficult now to get emotional about any new cars, they are so boring. I've been thinking of buying a car for 3 years now and can't summon up the will to part with the money. So I stick with my reliable old banger, a Seat Cordoba, the ugliest car of all time!

My first car was an A35 and I loved it until my husband smashed it up. I nearly divorced him.

But that is not just any old Mini!

Without doubt the best engine IMO & I rebuilt mine from the shell up with a lot of Special Tuning Abingdon parts.

It was heavily modified .... I still have no idea how I afforded it.
It was white when I bought it.

It also had a roof chop and was possibly 'channelled' as well, in as much as it may even have been a proper 'Mini Sprint'.!
