You can say that about every car on the road apart from the top model of each brand... But its not always true! My mate drives TDV8 RRS not because he cant afford the big Rangie but because he's 32 and wants the Sport as its suits younger people. Same with the Boxster/Cayman/911 thing and any BMW etc.. Ah you drive an M3 because you cant afford an M5.. well no actually, I just happen to not want a big car!

Its very easy to make assumptions about what people drive but if you dont know someones circumstances how can you make those assumptions?

That's slightly arse/face:

Since the Gaylordster is the superior design, the 911's main justification (other than as a 2+2) is kind of the same as that of the fake M5, only in reverse: I've got considerably more money than yow!

Very expensive for the real thing.

e.g £600 for one mirror - similar on the second hand market.

I just paid £70 for a plastic piece to go on the door-no wider than an inch, no longer than 3 feet. £80
quite so

and with only 2500 rhd models sold in Europe

you won't find too many scrappers

if you want cheap reasonable performance buy an S2000

especially now



lookalikes are just flattery

harmless enough, even if a bit sad

Too common in that neck of the woods.
Makes Lee's all Fiat garage stand out a bit

I'd far rather have a wolf in sheeps clothing.
Tatting up does seem to be in the increase though

I can only imagine it attracting all the wrong kind of attention from the wrong kind of people. Including Plod.
