White Cars

[bigsteve]

Its just dawned on me that there are nowhere near as many white cars about these days. They used to be dead common. Very weird

White vans have taken their place.

[bigsteve]

Good point! Even police cars aren't white anymore. They're a kind of silvery colour.

[Max Kane]

Silver cars FTW!

[Neuro]

My Focus is silver. I quite like that dark seal grey though, its kinda dirty :twisted:

[Moonman]

Audi A3's look schweeeet in white!

White cars are a nightmare for cleanliness. You only have to breathe on one and it looks scummy. I used to share a 106 with my sister when I learn't to dive and it was always filthy.

I wish van drivers would all drive into a big hole in the earth full of bubbling lava. It's not just van drivers but anyone that drives with that impatient 'get out of my way' persona. It really does get on my tits. It's the people that are trying to overtake and move up a cue when the traffic is wall-to-wall and they're not going to gain anything by doing so. That's my number one pet hate in the world. :ninja:

I am a white van man and before you ask we do own the road :mrgreen: .... but if you ask me taxi drivers are the biggest piss takers ever, nothing else matters but there 3 quid fair. w***ers

I have to admit I'm an impatient driver when people are dawdling on a Sunday at 40mph on an empty road... I think driving in Portugal and Spain for so long has had a seriously detrimental effect on my attitude!

[Uberduck]

Yeah but I'm talking about the ones that try leap-frogging every vehicle in the traffic ahead on single lane carriageways. Whats the point? Where's it gonna get you? They sit right on your tail and then overtake when its really f***ing dangerous and then force themselves in front of you because there's a car coming in the other direction. That really gets my back up. I'm tempted to just ram the prick and be done with it.

I totally agree with you, what is the point! It's also very stressful as they are not only endangering their own lives but others too.

The Italians are them craziest drivers I've ever known, complete nutters when it comes to speeding & complete disregard for crossings & pedestrians in general.

I agree with you Tim when people are going slow for no reason it annoys me, i mean regardless of whether I'm in a rush or working to a timescale I like to get where I'm going as fast as possible, without taking needless risks, but certainly not cruising around going slowly.

Motorway drivers who sit in the fast lane are the worst of the lot, people seem to lose all common sense when they get o the m-way, having done a fair bit of motorway driving in the past 12 months it really has started to annoy me beyond compare

Both the Spanish and the Portuguese overtake on blind bends all the time (if there's a hill as well, even better), but it's definitely the Portuguese who get my vote as the most dangerous drivers. They're fantastic people - friendlier to the English than the Spanish on the whole - but when they step into a car they change into this crazed mindset as if they've been possessed. I guess it's all their haring around in the wrong direction being late for things because they have no signposts...

The sign-posting was the only thing which annoyed me whilst abroad (well, that and difficult women) - you're driving along happily on a street, you get to a T junction and it either doesn't say anything at all or your destination is listed as being in both directions. Grrrrrrr

Im intrigued Tim! Difficult women eh?

Tell us more

Sounds a bit like Leicester and Bristol to me.....

[Quadrant]

Why does Sir Traill expect women to have signposts? He should know one end of the goal from the other by now

that did make me laugh :mrgreen:

[Neuro]

I'm not sure it matters whether the goal is at either end?

[Robin]

It doesn't - remember women have 3 holes. Any shot at the back of any of those nets yields a smashing result!

Driving around parts of Portuagal is one of the most enlightening experiences in the world. If you take life for granted, you sure won't after driving around those parts. You'll also develop balls of steel and an exceptionally quick reaction time for hitting the breaks!!!

[Neuro]

You'll also develop balls of steel

That's me! :mrgreen:

[Moonman]

i think nissan micra drivers are the worst. They drive those things like they are the size of juggernauts. grrr, driving brings out the worst in me it really does.
