Driving licence

[Flick of the Elbow]

As soon as I sit in the car, I just sit in traffic. I should sell my car.

Or move.

 

[Drago]

Or go all William "D-Fens" Foster on the other motorists.

Who is Charlie Watts anyhoo?

Invented the steam engine?

Car companies have the most oddest advertising. We have one company (rhymes with bissan) which advertises cars climbing up buildings.

Those ones where the city becomes the drivers' plaything, or morphs around them I find particularly irritating.

As for the OP, I've never found driving to be anything other than a tedious chore. Maybe some rich folks think that too.

Another company suggests their cars can zoom zoom everywhere (rhymes with bazda).

Another one talks of joy (BM double U).

The other day I was going past a car dealer with a n advert about driving enjoyment on its bill board while outside the dealer was chock full of traffic.if I had more time i would have taken a photo of the billboard with the traffic in the background.

Why didn't you write "Nissan", "Mazda" and "BMW"?

He has a terrible lisp.

Why didn't you write "Nissan", "Mazda" and "BMW"?

I thought there was some rule saying you can't mention the companies.

Anyway, what's wrong with having an expensive car ? Or - in my case - wanting to have an expensive car ? If you've got it, flaunt it.

The question is "what's wrong with not wanting an expensive car?"

 

[Drago]

Nothing wrong with having one, if that's your thing. Its the futility of having one if you're not capable of driving it around a corner without crashing.

 

[Drago]

If flauting it is your thing just get a T shirt made with your bank balance printed upon it. Its much safer.

For me I'd want a nice Mercedes estate, the sort that says 'well-off and retired'. To drive me in comfort around the gloriously flowing roads of the Highlands. No more danger of crashing than in my current more modest steed.

 

[Drago]

I'm happy with my more modest steed. I could spend a hundred grand and the speed limit would be the same.

In Ireland I believe in the late 80s or early 90's there was a back log of driving tests so they just passed everyone At the same time there was no MOT test (now NCT). As a result you had a whole load of people driving round with driving licences that had never passed their test and in dodgy motors; what could go wrong

Introduced as the NCT, administered/run by a private company.
New cars were failed.
