How the whole volvo prancing moose parody came about

Ah ha. Makes much more sense but still not a massive fan and considering the majority of people have zero idea what you mean, they will assume you're ripping off that other brand etc = making you look very stupid.

Yeah i prob should have put that in my first post

Dunno. You tell me

Fail.

Those yellow badges on the Volvo are a shame. Without them, it does its job as a 'don't look at me, I just want to get over there' sensible-mobile. With them, it tries to be funny and fails. It's like Ann Widdecombe doing standup comedy.

Few pics of my new car after a wash and Autoglym HD Wax, good stuff shines up really well but it was a dull day when the pics were taken.

Had the civic for 3 weeks now so time for some pics. Last one is of mine and my dads together.

Shiny! What's with the stick on tat? Civic looks fine as standard.

All standard Type-S stuff. Looks better than a stock Civic.

Each to their own. Would have to be a Type-R in black for me...

Oh I agree, I think it was a crud buy - he paid what, £17,000 for it and that sort of money buys a proper car, but it doesnt look bad and the tat makes it look nice. Lovely colour as well.

Would have liked a Type-r but the fuel costs and insurance would have crippled me, I've just turned 22 and don't have one of the best postcodes.

I didn't pay £17,000 I paid £15,400, not that it should matter how much I paid for the car. I apologise for not buying a BMW to come here to be congratulated on my purchase. :rolleyes:

I was supporting you by saying it looked good with the bodykit and was a good colour!

Why do people always bring BMW's into everything, its really odd.

Excellent find, and £700 of spare money to pay for the extra fuel costs.

Princey · 3 May 2010 at 00:36

It wont have a 10 on the plate though.

Ok, maybe I was a little harsh sorry. Cheers

That is really nice, but I don't think I could afford to run it. Had trouble enough getting insured on mine, my own insurer refused cover when I changed so had to look elsewhere.

Neither does mine, it is a 10 but I've got my private plate on it now.

I think you could. When I bought my 530i I couldnt afford a £15k car but I could afford to run a 530i. You CAN afford a £15k car, and the Type R is cheaper to run than a 530i.

Ergo, surely, you can afford to run a Type R

How does that work?

[TW]Fox · 3 May 2010 at 14:25

Sorry what?

HarryOfTheWeb · 3 May 2010 at 14:53

wut?

why does you being able to afford it mean he can? He may have different priorities...
