Do you own a German car?

[Mich the Tester]

In the rest of Europe German cars are very popular, and particularly around town in Germany those who drive them (which is most people) are generally very courteous, especially to pedestrians and cyclists. I think the fact that losing control of your temper here seems to be considered a sign of weakness and stupidity rather than virility might also have something to do with it.

True, in Germany and most of le contintent; if only this applied to the Netherlands. Here it’s basically;

VW Golf; idiot teenagers, trainee recruitment agents. Enough said.
Audi drivers; psycho cockheads
BMW drivers; hmm, used to be psycho cockheads, but seem to have improved these days
Mercedes drivers; generally OK, can’t be bothered speeding, with the exception of Mercedes SUV drivers, who are worse than psycho cockheads, they are arriviste psycho cockheads.
Opel drivers; obviously not interested in cars

In the UK that's almost true, but it has more to do with the UK being full of nasty agressive aspirant twunts than anything else.

My car has German suspension. I'm not sure why that matters.

I used to own a Wartburg & after Euro 96 I got stopped for speeding TWICE in one day while on both occassions I was following the flow of traffic & got singled out for special treatment.

Bulltulip alert!! Wartburgs don't "speed"!!

Is that a threat?

It may be a good idea to lock it in the garage on Sunday afternoon. Just in case, you know?
