[Graham_07]

[broken link removed]
( dont forget to turn up the volume )

problem solved !

I have never thought about the issues raised by Jeff_24....

Just called a Volvo dealer to order a new XC90 for myself as i think it will look nice beside my wife's ML55... and in black, please.
I don't know now where my son is going to park his X5. I guess he will have to park it at his girlfriend parents's place between her Cayenne and
the parents's Hummer.

I hope thats the stretch hummer with built in jacuzzi and not just the bog standard one.

Are they not illegal? [re: Kitten's blacked out windows]

AFAIK they are illegal as front windows and windscreen; they reduce visibility, particularly at night. I've written to various Ministers for the Environment about such and always get a standard Pontius Pilate reply from some underling along the lines of 'enforcement of the law is a matter for the Gardaí, interpretation of the law is a matter for the Courts', re: bullbars the response was that the Governments hands are tied by the EU (pants). I don't have the mental energy to write to the current Minister for U-Turns.

This is all great fun, I hope no one is taking it to seriously!

Anyone know where my post went from yesterday evening?

Still on page 3 Yorky - unless there was another one?

 

[Purple]

Yes, just after Graham_07 yesterday evening. disappeared for some reason

It was a bit too colourful me thinks.

 

[DrMoriarty]

Nothing's been deleted, Yorky.

Honestly, you guys are getting paranoid. No wonder women in large cars bother you...

I don't know, ask them if one of them is called "Kitten". If so you're screwed.

I'm guessing if he does what you suggest he's screwed anyway...and no, not in that way!

Yea, good point.

I drove over it it in my Touareg - thought it deserved it !

SUVs are soft targets. A 1.6 Avensis which is doing an 80 mile each way commute 5 days a week will have a much worse carbon footprint that the yummy-mummy 3.0 SUV doing the school run. But hey, let's not criticise any men going to work, eh?

Bit sexist to assume that it's necessarily the man driving the Avenis to work?

It is also sexist to think that those who don't like 4X4's being used in an urban setting confine their ire to women users. I for one have no problem with women or men using them it they need the vehicle to go off road or carry/ pull heavy loads.

 

[Graham_07]

"yummy-mummy"
"soccer mom"
.....what's next ? "do you want fries with that?"
Why can't we find an indigenous term for these descriptions?

 

[DrMoriarty]

Bean with a van?

Well, with the latest figures for obesity and all................
