I'm just about to take delivery of a LWB shogun which mitsi have on offer for £299 @ month or £329 with auto both plus VAT


A lot of car for the money & great for pinballing

Gets something that reflects your persona. Like a very dull grey VW Passat diesel. Ugly, boring, cheap, safe but dependable

Mine's dark blue.

That is the nicest thing a contractor has ever said about me

Only the chassis thse days, which is a damn good one anyway.

Saabs get their own diesel engines now ( since 2005 ), much better than the old ones.

Is that the one made in collaboration with Fiat?

Your Contractors?

Back to this car image thing: would no-one think that because Dodgy Agent happens to be a very successful agent, he can afford a Ferrari??

Why is it inherent in our culture to despise success at every level?

You don't see this in other cultures/countries: Hungary, Oz, Spain, Norway... all very open about salaries and success...

Here? Bunch of fucking whinging, spiteful retards...

(sexually frustrated, sorry)

It is an interesting concept. If you remember IBM came up with the dark blue suit and white shirt because according to some so called clever research organisation this combination of clothing was the most acceptable form of attire least likely to create negative feelings from customers.

I suppose a car conjures up similar reactions. I tend to agree with the f*** em attitude, but unfortunately this comes accross by the car you drive or clothes you wear- rightly or wrongly. As we have quite e number of our clients to who you must drive to go and see I do believe that the car needs to be fairly discreet without the F*** off element but at the same time not the "poor bastard" or cheapskate image.

It also has to fit in with your age and status to a point. So an S class merc would not be quite right for someone under 40, likewise a honda Civic type R is not for 50 somethings.

A second hand dark blue Saab with a white interior it is then

I honestly congratulate with DA for being such a successful parasite of the society.

They both share the same chasis and engines

I am not sure that a Saab or a Skoda is good for my go getting yet professional image. A Ferrari or a Porsche (not that I can afford either) would antagonise my contractors

It's a shame people have that attitude to Skoda. Before the war Skoda was a premium brand, obviously ruined under communism.
Basically it's a VW or Audi under the skin.
Yes Saabs are cool too.

A Saab is just an expensive way to own a Vectra.

Hardly! Owned both - no comparison...apart from they both have 4 wheels, one in each corner. And what would a prawn know anyway...?

Most hothatches have 200+ bhp these days
