On the opposite side some people drive flash Audis taken on credit and count their last pounds in the end of the month…

I think this might be your most retarded post ever.
I use my ‘worst’ car for work as there is not much point having something nice parked in the yard for weeks sometimes, some people at work might assume my 2001 Lexus IS200 is the only car I have but at home and in my garages are four other car’s worth thousands OWNED out right not on finance like 90% of my neighbours cars.
My car is an 05 reg worth about £300 but strangely enough it gets me to work and back in pretty much the same way as an 18 plate car costing £30,000 would.

Another business owner on my Ind Est bought a very nice big Merc, and seriously it is lovely, but as he said, after a few weeks, the novelty wore off and it could have been an average Ford.
many cars sit idle for long periods…trampers…international etc so its not worth taking anything decent to get damaged or weather beaten etc…so no you must not judge a person by his car…i always leave the rolls royce at home and use the E class Merc for work or tottering around…my Veyron has never been out, of the box.

Really!!! national average £26k per year, anti social hours in all weathers abuse from Billy Big Balls (although to be fair I’ve never seen anyone give them grief). Not sure on the tax take on a wage in the UK but am guessing you wouldn’t be taking home much more than £1500 a month, works out gross £400 per week. I’ll make sure no payslips are on display next time I’m stopped wouldn’t want to upset them more than necessary

You could at least get something that dont take a week to get to 60 mph, unlike like my second car 2002 IS300 …
There’s not a single new car sold in Britain now that i would want to own, they’re ugly in drab colours, all look the same (cloned like their drivers?), and by the time they’re 7 years old these new electronic stuffed jobbies will be plundering your wallet to keep them running, hence the 3/4 year repeat PCP/leasing yoke many have willingly slung around their necks for something they will never own, like their abodes? 
I’ll keep my older Japanese cars ta very much, they don’t owe me a bean and constantly prove themselves more dependable than this european crap.
