Yawn.....

It's a shame that so many people feel the need to make such judgments on cars. So many will miss out on some fantastic fun cars due to their preconceptions about the type of people that drive them.

Janesy B's tip of the day - to avoid confusion, make your jokes funny.

Don't you drive your parents' Mini..?

I drive both of my parents cars but that is immaterial to my point. They were not purchased specifically for me and I have no priority whatsoever when it comes to having access to them. I'd love to own and run my own car but as a student I simply don't need one neither the financial risk of running one. I was seriously tempted to get a 182 for my last year of uni but I simply can't justify it.

Errr no, young girls do buy their own cars.

Of course and my comment was a bit cheeky. However I do not personally know a single female student who actually bought their own mini, the ones who did buy their own car drive more appropriate cars for a student who racks up about £8k of debt a year. I live in Jesmond and Minis are quite frankly like a poision around here, it's the car choice of every spoilt middle-class student (gender is actually irrelevant) and most of the time it was not them who paid for it. One of my best mates "bought" a cooper s with his "own money" which is fair until you realise the savings he used to fund the purchase were, you guessed it, deposited by his parents over the years.
