Car social contexts.

Can you tell what type of person someone is just by looking at what car they drive? Well yes, funnily enough you can.

Me and my good friend Jamie Lewis, whom I thank dearly for linking out to my blog, were talking about this subject last Thursday whilst at Twestival 2011 at The Beach Hut in Watergate Bay.

These are just a few of the things that we agreed on; a Nissan Micra is driven by old ladies like my dear grandma. A Jaaaagggg is driven by someone who goes out with their girlfriend and then spends the evening flirting outrageously with the waitress, like Top Gear say. Unlike Top Gear Jamie says that's him. An Audi is driven by a tailgating person often referred to as an a**hole when seen on the road. A Ferrari is driven by someone whose head takes second place in decision making processes and decides with their heart, same thing with Alfa Romeos. Peugeot convertibles are driven by blondes wearing sunglasses. A BMW 3 series saloon is driven by middle management types and the 3 series estates? Middle aged men like my Dad, sorry to you if you just read that. A Ford S Max is driven by school run mums. A Suzuki Swift is driven by someone who likes to take car of their hair. A Lamborghini is driven by a flamboyant male model, only at heart, they are neither in reality. And a G Whizz is driven by a mental.

I'd like to point out that these are mostly joke generalisations, not necessarily what we really think.
