Nice cars go to the wrong people

They drive at 15 to 20mph because in many areas that's about all you can bloody do these days, thanks to the anti-car campaigners.
The nicest cars often end up in the hands of people who don't appreciate them....caning them to death up motorways in excess of 100mph and screeching the tyres along narrow country roads. Obviously got more money than sense. There's no law against doing 50mph on a dual carriageway either, not everyone wants to belt everywhere at break-neck speed, because that's exactly what usually happens....you break your neck. Some people still want to live, mate. How you can have the gall to suggest that everyone over retirement isn't fit to handle anything other than a noddy-car.....best to look at the bolshy 30-somethings with their BMW's, they're the ones lacking control.

Manufacturers make plenty to go around, we all know that, so I'm sure you won't need to go without.

Most speedo's underread by about 3-4 mph. You can tell your real speed by a GPS speedo. So that means that someone going 50mph on a 60 is most likely 14 mph under the speed limit.

That is 23% below the speed limit. That is quite a large.

I just bought a new rolls royce 2007 edition and iam 76 years old how about that then and if you do not like it get back in your toyota brown j242 rfl red and drive off and work better or get a good job instead of moaning loser

BW I have a fast car and drive about 5mph below the limit and find the others on the road in Reading are nutters the worst I saw was a micra doing 70-80 mph in a 30 is this what everyone should be doing because my top speed is 150 and I have only done 70 mph twice in 5 years

Meh, its mostly old people because they have made the right decisions in life - and can now afford the insurance that was out of reach in their youth!

Each to their own - I don't care what other people drive.

I admit to not understanding the 'pride of motoring' but I'm afraid that I understand Tasha's last comment even less!

'' you are what you drive!'' if you wish to be a snail, or hare. safety is what you pay for... how much you spend is how much you vaule your life!

some people dont drive sheds!! some are even scared in little scratches. yet thats pride of motoring for you. which some dont clearly understand!

oh my god betty!! your unsafe to be on the road. the speed limit for normal roads is 30mph and motorway is 70mphs. you are driving dangerous to slow hence you being shouted out. and having no insurance, you should not be even driving as your breaking the law. maybe you should hand in your liecence before you kill someone else!!

~I'm an old lady, and I just bought the new skoda roomster, very nice indeed, I drive at 25 miles an hour on normal roads and 55 on the motorway thats extremely fast for me!!! but I don't understand it when people swear at me, for example a man shouted, you old b*tch, hurry the f**k up.... whats that supposed to mean? I love driving its fun, but the other day I crashed into someones car it wasn't my fault they where going to fast, I quickly reversed and drove off, mainly because I didn't have any insurance, thats a lot of money to spend on something you don't really need to have. I think that I might get a new car soon though its not very comfortable in the driving seat, I will probably die soon and no one will notice all my friends have gone and my husband died in the war, I later re-married but he died on lung cancer.
I better finish now otherwise I might start crying

If a person has worked hard enough to be able to afford a nice car then they have earned the right to do whatever they want with that car. If you do not have enough money to drive a nice car then that's your problem and intead of whining about it why not go and get a decent, well paying job and go and earn it?

I do detect a small hint of jelousy here. People who are shall we say 'of a certain age' having gone through life with all its trials and tribulations deserve to have a little luxury when they can afford to. Not as the society now thinks it is in the 'I want and I want it now' age.
Wait your turn and you will be able to afford something better. There is only ONE cetainty in this life you will get older before you die. Why hurry it along?
