If it's round and works I'm happy.

And the sad virgins with bright coloured break calipers behind their
alloy wheels need to get a life and not a Porsche.


I agree.

Any envy here perchance?


Certainly not in my case. I'd be interested to try driving a Porsche as
long as I was fully insured, but I wouldn't want to own one - I'd be too
worried that it would get stolen or damaged by someone who was envious...
or that I'd be thought of as having a small penis ;-) (*)


The same applies to personalised number plates. I would actively *not*
want a personalised plate because I like my car to blend in and not stand
out from the crowd.


I prefer bright yellow so its easy to find in the carpark,
particularly the massive carparks at major events.

Bit low tech tho and not that many even sell
bright yellow cars anymore and probably
not a great ideal given the way I drive.

Now that most dont even offer bright yellow
anymore, I have been considering a bright
light on a roof bar that I can turn on using the
phone instead to make the car easy to find.

Not much in the way of real hi tech car locators
that work very well in a massive great car park
full of parked cars.

I'm sure that says a lot about my personality.


(*) My wife refers to sports cars and other noisy, over-powered cars as
"penis cars" on the grounds that they are allegedly bought as compensation
by men who are under-sized.
