The XR3i for the 21st century

The Vauxhall Astra, especially in sporty or coupe trim, has become the
young tit's chariot of choice.

Discuss.

 

not round our way - at the chavvy end of things, it's definitely still
the Corsa or Saxo as the wankerwheels-of-choice (with blue LED
washerjet lights, natch), and for the more upwardly mobile dickhead,
oldschool '90s BMW 3-series convertibles appear to be de rigeur,
especially with non-standard paintjobs.

 

My observations match this, although coupés rather than convertibles.

And what kind of a twat would want a 3-ser coupé, anyway?

 

Split here, the white kids like chavchariots such as Fiat Puntos &
Saxos. Asian kids prefer old Subaru Imprezas

 

yeah, some of those too, mostly in that awful dark blue metallic paint
job that BMW specialised in about 15 years ago.

Someone who mistakenly thinks that they're "too young" for a Merc CLK.

 

I haven't noticed any racially based segregation in the choice of crap
cars round my way.

The worst car in the entire NN London area is a purple Tigra covered
with pink and white stickers (including one reading "Da Tart With Da
Tigra" driven by a ~70 year old white woman who wears crop tops and
cycling shorts - she's quite seriously repulsive.

 

Well, I was thinking less of chavvy kids and more of 20-something
wanker in his first company car, but down at the shallower end of the
gene pool, I think you're right.

 

It's true in Bradford & Keighley, gaws knows why.

There's a young blonde round here in a Rover 25 that has a scream mask
on whilst driving around!

Loads of young bints with pink 'powered by fairy/pixie dust' stickers,
they all seem to wear too much makeup, or false tan.

 

Ah, the 20-something wanker in the first co-car round here is always
in a BMW 116.

 

ah - in that case, round here I'd say the "begging the boss for an
upgrade" entry level co-car is either a BMW 1-series minimum spec.

As a comparison, the 20-something yummy-mummies all seem to be driving
Freelanders these days.

 

In Tunbridge Wells this morning, I saw a Vauxhall Agila or Suzuki
Wagon-R, all lowered and body-kitted, decked out with a fucking
*massive* spoiler on the back, and painted bright yellow with decals
like that of a New York Checker Cab. I wish I'd taken a picture.

 

that sounds like something Simon Kenyon would drive.

 

heh. I was pretty sure it was you he was angling for.

 

It's shame that he needs to decry them just because he's too old, with
a poorly back, to even get in one.

 

People in Nissan Qashqais shouldn't, well, they just shouldn't, really.

 

you forgot to mention that he's also too poor to own one.

 

'Tis here in Bowton. Asians love the Subaru but they're probably not
insured, while the white chavs still tool around in Corsa's, usually decked
out with some horrifying strewth kit planted on.

Now I *truly* know what mind bleach is for.

We have a local knobhead driving around in a 60's Mini with the spoiler from
a Nissan Pulsar GTI-R stuck on the roof. It looks like absolute shite and
all topped off with the shittiest paint job I've ever seen.

Fortunately for us, the painting was done by our nearest "competitive"
bodyshop.

Heh. That reminds me: the decals for the Suzuki arrived today. OK, I'll
see about a UR delivery.
