Jeremy Clarkson recently described Audi drivers as Montblanc-using Breitling-watch and Oakley sunglass wearing awfulness.

If you are an Audi driver do you fit the bill? I know there is as least one here!

I have made no secret that I'm a BMW driver and I know that my munchkin drives an old Land Rover Discovery that he lovingly calls Big Red. Unless he's moved more upmarket of late and hasn't said

I wonder if I can tell what people drive?

I think Zubber drives a Toyota and Kanelli drives a people carrier of some description. (She'll need one for the toddlers and the slave!)

Shafique rides a bike, or a donkey.

Guilty as charged and quite scarily! I have not one but TWO Mont Blanc watches as well

My nominations would be, Symmetric In whatever his father got bored with and Tom Jones, on a Horse.

Where are you TJ? Wake up old lad.

Ooh... and I'd put Sage in a Rickshaw.

Have to agree with the Audi driver stereotype.
Chances are Kanelli drives a white toyota prado, with a "baby on board" thingy on the back window and a stgeorge cross sticker on the bumper.
I was a BMW man many years ago, but now drive a wrangler, which has crap a/c.
You left out chocs BM. I'm guessing maybe an audi TT? (the one exception for audi drivers mind you), who also tend to be attractive professional ladies.

We don't have a car, use public transport.

Why would Kanelli have a St George cross on the back? She's not English! No, I don't drive an Audi, they're actually way down on my list of cars I'd like to own.

Do professional ladies drive Audi TTs. I thought they were just hairdressers?

You never said what you drove Chocs!

Kanelli won't need a cross of any desciption if she gets the bus.

Already have the Montblanc, aiming for the Audi (not sporty, but the grown up version which I actually like!)

Do you think DK's dad drives a VW?

OK, could be a scottish flag or a saffer one, but you get the idea.
The question wasn't which car you would like to own chocs, otherwise I don't blame you for passing on the TT.
It was what car you are unfortunate enough to drive.

Keep guessing, you're way off the mark with K lol

I drive a Ford Edge actually. I like it because it's roomy enough to get all my wakeboarding and kite gear in the back, plus a few peeps.

Danish flag?
Pretty soon I will have to start resorting to flags that I don't see on cars.

Ah, forgot about the wakeboard... and kite .

Pretty much most cars are highly over-rated these days in my humble opinion.

I drive a Chevrolet Lumina LTZ.

I also have a 10 year old Jeep Grand Cherokee for transportation of dogs, camping equipment, parachutes, amplifiers, guitars, drum kit and assorted work related junk.

And a Classic Royal Enfield motorbike.

I will never, ever, own another German vehicle.

They are still making them in India.

I agree DK, from my experience at least Volkswagens are rubbish.

My daughter drives a Beetle cabrio and her husband a Golf GTI. Both excellect cars in their own class and never ever any trouble. German engineering at it's best.
Give me BMW, Audi, Mercedes or VW over the bus any day.

Well I guess there are Monday morning cars produced by just about every manufacturer, I had a bad experience, or rather several costly bad experiences with a Renault 17 TS and that put me off French cars for the rest of my life, I did however drive a company Peugeot 504 in the 80’s and that thing was a workhorse, it stood any amount of abuse and just kept on going.

I had a look for some reliability figures and found this site with some very surprising data from the UK market, 8 of the ten most reliable cars are Japanese, Land Rover are the worst reliable manufacturer of 36 listed Manufacturers.

I drive a white GMC Envoy, good enough to carry my grey african parrots cages and saplings.
Not into cars business much. I rather spend money on farming.

I hope you have CITES certificates for those birds?!

I don't trade with grey african parrots. I just sometimes carry them (with their cages) with me to AD every now and then as I work here. I'm an Environmentalist anyways : )

How come you don't drive a prius or leaf then

Hahaha!
Do you drive one yourself DDS?

An Environmentalist? are you talking about green issues or human development and is that on a personal level or a vocation?

You remember my old sig !

Any chance you replace your current sig with your old one?

Why ? You don't like Khans !

Yes, Sym, but it sounds good doesn't it?

You'll need to have a lazy cat and a talkative grey african parrot!
It'll provide you with the best working atmosphere while conducting your duties as a domestic engineer

It sounds like a deal Sym. I hope you like Kosher food.
