Having a chat with one my colleagues at work regarding the issues she has been having with her Mini (intermittent non-start/cut out) we got on the subject of my E30 to which she replied:

"Oh yeah, the cute sporty one in the car park".

Cute. :(

Cute. :-x

CUTE :x

Anyone said anything equally bad about your E30s?

(Edit to add, this is somewhat tongue in cheek of course!)

At least she liked it. Most modern women think they are pieces of old shit!

I find most women like a original E30 convertible. I can see their point of it being cute it is a feminine looking car.

My cab was called a " very pretty car" by an AA man.
Mind you it was very late and very dark.

My neighbour asked who owned the old banger in my driveway, I told her its mine, its older than her and in better condition body wise. Made my day at least!

I'd take "cute" as a very positive comment, its about as good as it gets from women. It certainly gets a lot worse.

There does appear to be a growing proportion of 'modern women' who do fit the above description tbh.

They seem to aspire to celebrity culture, worshipping at the alter of 'The Only Way is Essex'. Life is based around shopping, designer tat and basically showing off to their equally idiotic friends. Praise is expected without achievement and there is a hideous sense of entitlement. "If my mate has one, why shouldn't I!?" Masses of credit card debt is accumulated just to keep up 'the show'. They are especially vacuous and have the deluded perception that they are 'special'.

They are also the kind of people that take photos of themselves constantly on nights out with pouting faces updating their Facebook status a million times per day with inane attention seeking bullshit.

Their opinion of a 'good' car is a brand new Audi A3 1.9 TDI (S Line) in white on finance.

Am I the only one here not sad enough to use my car to attract a bird?

I hate to think how ugly and boring you must be to rely on a twenty year old turd with fake alpinas to get 16year old sharon to bed!

My suggestion is Stella.

When a woman younger than you say's you're cute it's a polite no.

When an older woman says you're cute, you're in.

my worse half is still at college and thinks the old turd is awesome.. so much so that she wants one.. I've tried to talk her out of it as I can see my weekends being spent tinkering with hers instead of sorting my car out..

some girls just like sheds! I went out with a model / fire performer a few years ago who described the Opel Manta I had at the time as 'orgasmic'.. even I wouldn't go that far.... :mad:

If I wanted to pull birds with my car I wouldnt have bought a 20 year old gangsters saloon. Also iv never met a woman in my life who drinks stella, which is good cos it means I get it all to myself :D

nobody pulls birds with a car..

I always favour the line ' does this hankie smell of chloroform to you?'
then give the bouncers the old 'just taking her home, she's had a few too many' routine...
then it's brown wings in a layby, drop her off at the station and back to the club.. winkeye

if all that fails I've a magnetic one of these..

I must be lucky then, my wife complains when we are in newer cars and says they don't sound right. Only thing she doesn't like is getting in and out of the car because she's hurt her knee.

She's also nailed spotting e30s out and about and in films - usually when I've missed it!

She just refers to it as 'Your baby' which isn't a million miles from cute.

:chuckle:

I'd be very wary of any woman attracted to you because you own an E30 - clearly doesnt have all her paddles in the water :mad:

Finding one who will put up with E30's is about as good as you can hope for.

Any bloke who pulls a bird on the basis of what car he drives deserves all the trouble a woman like that is bound to bring.
