I know several single women like myself who drive Civics, probably because they are so reliable, also very economical on gas mileage.
If you plan on driving here in your Civic, get it kitted out and play plenty of Flo Rida w/bass through the mean streets of Salem and Beverly and you'll fit right in. Don't forget the (fake) gold chains.

Do they do that to the modern civics, or the old 90s Type Rs? My mate up in Canada had an '06 one and it was quite a nice car. No body kits or godawful rap in sight though, he had a bunch of flagstones in the boot and Dire Straits on the stereo

I'm no expert on cars, but it's usually these types of Civics:



I call them Bromobiles as most people who drive them are quite primitive and refer to one another as "bro" or "dawg" and cannot grasp basic English, never mind that red means stop, not speed up and almost cause a fatal accident.

No Dire Straits I'm afraid, more like Flo Rida or Rihanna for the chavette types here in MA who drive those things, wearing hoop earrings. I swear, it feels like Essex here sometimes.

That's an older one, I think. Different looking back end. That's a very familiar look, though back home it was a Citroen Saxo, driven by what we call 'spides'. Just a chav by another name

Back in my day, it was Astra GTEs, Fiesta or Escort XR3is or the more affluent ones owned Golf GTIs. In fact, I owned an Astra GTE, although I was never a chav.

Yeah, Escorts too. The funniest one I used to see knocking about was an '81 Renault 5 with a full body kit and all the trimmings

Toaster ovens.

Aaaaarghhhhhhh!!!!!

So, I set the temperature to 'toast', set the timer to 'toast', put bread in it.

Waited for the ping to say "Oi, alien twat from Blighty, your toasts, ER, toast!!!"

Was utterly amazed to find new form of carbon!!!!

Now I'll be late for work, as I'm determined to have my toast first.

Bastard toaster and all who built her....

Can't believe the beeb are considering not renewing The Football League show, so they can keep paying stupidly high wages for the wooden shits that they call presenters in Match of the Day.

A blob of plasticine would have more charisma then those monthly blob remnants :/
