You think BMWs are posh?

They are drug dealer cars around here.

Sneezecakesmum · 10/05/2014 16:48

I guess I will check the boot for DHs stash of drugs!

Drug dealers drive Subaru Impreza's round here.

Ha I'm going to get some sniffer dogs in mine just to check....Smile

Serenitysutton · 10/05/2014 16:50

Drug dealers or salesman company cars....

If your neighbour is close enough to be able to see your car, then you're all awfully common.

Sneezecakesmum · 10/05/2014 16:51

Suburus are those things with things sticking out the sides? And odd colours? Not got one of those so the police will not be sniffing about then!

Nah! The dealers went through Audis and on to other cars. BMWs are sooooo 1990s.

Sneezecakesmum · 10/05/2014 16:52

Yes, she is over the road so definitely common!

Subaru impretza.....

Is that the one with the wing on the back like a Tescos trolley?

Sneezecakesmum · 10/05/2014 16:53

Are there any proper posh cars then?

Please don't say 4WD land rovers. They are common as muck here!

Ooh I thought BMWs were posh, my dad has one and he is well posh innit.
I think BMWs, Audis, Mercedes, and all sports cars are posh.
And golfs. Grin

No cars are really. Properly posh people tend to drive all bangers. Usually hatchback

Sneezecakesmum · 10/05/2014 16:55

They are close but all detached though! But well common still innit!

Drug dealers drive Minis around here Hmm

BMWs otoh are seen as 'mum cars'.

teaandthorazine · 10/05/2014 16:57

There's no such thing as a posh car.

chipshop · 10/05/2014 16:57

What kind of cars do you all drive to think BMWs are common as muck, Porsches? I am a Northerner though, clearly I don't count... Grin

Pipbin · 10/05/2014 16:57

Landies are not posh. Again, dealers or twats. And like Audis and Beemers they think they have the right to drive up your arse.

Maseratis. Now there's posh.

teaandthorazine · 10/05/2014 16:57

Do you buy your own furniture too, OP?

Wink
Pipbin · 10/05/2014 16:59

I have a Nissan, they aren't posh, but people who think they are posh drive BMWs.

I know I'm actually posh despite living in a semi

TequilaMockingbirdy · 10/05/2014 17:00

only haha yes they're awful!

YoureBeingASillyBilly · 10/05/2014 17:00

"No cars are really. Properly posh people tend to drive all bangers. Usually hatchback"

With a couple of labradors in the back Grin

Sneezecakesmum · 10/05/2014 17:00

Yes we buy our own furniture. Confused
