To think DH only very very slightly U for buying another BMW because our neighbour told him he was too common to own a BMW?

[Sneezecakesmum]

The new one is a convertible btw. A Z4

Haha

[ConferencePear]

My cleaning lady drives a BMW.

[Sneezecakesmum]

Cleaning ladies and childminders are often better off than the people they 'do' for

[Itsfab]

Your DH didn't really buy another BMW just because the neighbour made a stupid comment?

More money than..

[Sneezecakesmum]

Sense......... Absolutely.

Not really, just always wanted a sports car. A lot of men have these mid life crises!

[harriet247]

So far my old dad has come home with...
A tour bus
An actual bus
A steam roller
A steam train
A red american sports car v12
A 1920s sports car
And a morris minor.

DH wanted a Z4 when he last changed his car. I wouldn't let him because he has a 100 mile round trip to work each day, so he has a 1.4tdi Polo! It is very economical though! I've got a brand new Golf that he drives more than me, so he can't complain now!

DS1(19) is hopefully going into the Army in 8 weeks time. He will be buying a small car to G&T his no claims up a bit more for a couple of years, then he plans to buy a BMW. My Dad is in the trade, he can get them as cheap as chips.

lol at this thread. Classic wind up.

or tacky as hell

[revealall]

SAABs are sort of posh. I have a beaten up second hand one . It amuses me that in the users manual under" boot" it has a diagram showing you how to get two golf bags in.

There's nothing like proving you're rich by getting into tens of thousands of pounds of debt to run a car with a different badge on it to some other cars.

[Sneezecakesmum]

No debt here thank goodness. Overpaid the mortgage so that's gone too!

I think this is why DH is living his fantasies now. All those years of scrimping

Bless

[Sneezecakesmum]

Harriet. Please don't introduce DH to your dad! He loves steam engines too!

[amothersplaceisinthewrong]

I thought BMWS were becoming too common round my way, so I changed mine for a little VW polo :)

[IShallCallYouSquishy]

oooh eddiestobart, I love my Hyundai too. Lovely ix20. Nice and mum-y

DH must be a drug dealer though. Now I know why there's all the little compartment

[euroticket]

I think this is why DH is living his fantasies now.

There certainly are some fantasies on this thread I will give you that.

[UncleT]

Totally unreasonable to get a Z4! He should have got an M5 or something.

[Willdoitinaminute]

Latest car craze at DS's 'posh' school is the BMW1 series. Popular mainly with the mums whose husbands won't or can't buy them a 4WD.

[RhondaJean]

You'd be lucky to get a civic or a Mazda 6 four years old for that price...

[Willdoitinaminute]

Z4 are really popular with divorced ladies of a certain age, intact I don't think I've ever seen a bloke driving one.

[Itsfab]

I don't know what a Z4 is.

[TereseaGreen]

Itsfab They look like Peter Perfects car from The Wacky Races. Dick shaped.

[Summerbreezing]

"..... the mums whose husbands won't or can't buy them a 4WD".


Aaagh 4WDs. Don't start me.

[MrsC1966]

Lol, the reps at my office drive BMWs. Seen as a bit chavvy locally esp. the X5's!

[MrsC1966]

I believe drug dealers enjoy a wide variety of different makes & models however they do have a soft spot for gansta glass (tinted windows)

[TereseaGreen]

If I was a drug dealer I think I would buy a Hyundai. They are the height of trustworthiness. It's always nice to have a plan. Surely the idea is to remain as unsuspicious as possible?.

[stopgap]

I always think of classic cars when I think posh. Morgans etc.
