  • I don't think people see mine, because I keep getting more and more dings and dents.

    More than twice as many Bugatti's on the road than Lada Rivas.

    Probably because they're worth much more than twice as much

    Funny this should be mentioned as the other day i was amazed to see an Austin princess parked up. Thought they had all rusted away years ago !
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    There is a reliant Kitten, the 4 wheeled one and a couple of 3 wheeled Reliants here in Lincolnshire, plus a Hilman Imp in Worthing I see regularly.
  • In terms of most numerous I would say easily the Mk4 Golf, loads of 02-54 plates still about.

    Every now and then see an old Lexus GS or Audi 80.

    My Mk4 Golf is running great, definitely are plenty of others around.

    Porsche 944 is getting a bit rarer now.

    People are caught up in an egotistic artificial rat race to display a false image to society. We want the biggest house, fanciest car, and we don't mind paying the sky high mortgage to put up that show. We sacrifice our biggest assets our health and time, We feel happy when we see people look up to us and see how successful we are”

    I see a 1975 Transit van regularly still being used for some sort of trade.

    A local garage run a 1989 Merc recovery truck (I suppose keeping it on the road is easy when you own a garage).

    Also a 1989 Maestro.

    2001 Micra next door.

    Its funny, how you get to know your fellow commuter cars. There's this blue S reg Micra, and a 57 plate Mondeo ... I swear I see them everyday in traffic.

    Then there's the impatient guy in a big black 10 year old Volvo turbo brick I encounter on most home journeys.

    Yes I end up following this scrappage scheme Panda driven by a grandad doing 25mph. He does 2 loops of the roundabout just to let me by. :rotfl:

    I saw a Citroen Maserati recently. It was in poor condition, but running. A weird car, even for 70s Citroen.
    If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.
