    Cars & typecasting their drivers

    Just for a bit of fun ...

    Small Renaults/Fiats/Micras = Ditters

    Beamers = Show offs who own the road & are exempt from all speed restrictions

    Chelsea Tractors = A 'school bus' that goes either too slow or too fast depending on time left to get to school.

    Over here audi drivers are way worse than bmw drivers. Even allowing for the over population of ****ers per capita and generally awful driving standards in NI they are visibly and annoyingly ever present on just about every journey i dare to endure.

    The nordy ones aren't. Maybe it's a regional thing. Noneof them seem to be fitted with indicators but that could apply to a number of car manufacturers over here tbf.

    Didn't take long
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Not so much the car as the driver..... Middle aged female executive types, in their 'power' suits (usually driving high end vw golfs or similar) are without doubt the most discourteous,pig ignorant welts ever to get behind a steering wheel.

    People driving any sort of hire car. Some of the things you see out at the airport as they head up in their recently hired car, with absolutely no idea how to drive it is astounding.

    United we stand here....

    Audi drivers have taken over from BMW drivers as far as poor driving standards go.

    But worse than Audi drivers are those that wear hats. From little old ladies who dither to boy racers you can rest assured that if the driver in the car in front is wearing a hat it won't take long to wonder just how they passed their test.

    I thought Hire Cars only went one speed. (And that's not slow).

    Pfffft scousers and mancs might win in the volume stakes but compared to car crime in belfast you're amateurs. Here a car doesn't really count as properly stolen until its parked outside a police station packed full of explosives

    Are you saying that it's only bangers that get stolen over there?

    Nissan Juke - Middle aged woman who has accepted a life of bland mediocrity. Likely to be indecisive at roundabouts.

    I don't know belfast very well but I believe there are plenty of good places to eat. Of places I've been the apartment next to city hall, il pirata on upper Newtownards road (a taxi from the city centre would take you past some fairly colourful loyalist murals on the lower section of newtownards rd) and molly's yard near queens uni are all good. Again with pubs I've not been in very many in the city centre but the john Hewitt and the duke of york seem decent.

    We did the bus tour a few weeks back when friends came over and it was pretty good, I'd recommend it to see a fair bit of the city and hear some of the background to the various historical sites.

    Have a great time, it's a good city with friendly people.

    People who drive Subaru Imprezas from the 1990's. That big bore exhaust sounds crap and please take that Colin McRae sticker off your back window as you were probably about six when he won his title (most of the drivers I see are in their twenties).

    People who have these mini boxing gloves hanging from their mirrors. Other drivers be like "Bruv, don't do it man, the guy is a fighter".
    In the real world I'm afraid that people just think you're trying to project a hard man image and are probably a dickhead.

    Saw a pair hanging in a Siver Merc with the Reg X BOXER on Friday, not sure if he was a hard man, dickhead or both.

    I hear what your saying about the McRae stickers. But the Paul walker stickers rip ones are way worse.
