Russethouse Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Woolly , Like Val 2 I believe you live in an area that markets itself very much as a holiday destination ? If you want people with disposable income to keep visiting and spending, maybe sometimes we have to turn a blind eye to some things we might find distatestful, like their mode of transport for example?

woolybananasbrother Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yes I do know RH, but I haven't lived in this part of the Vendée for long and am in a state of shock. In the eastern highlands of the Vendée these people penetrated rarely and were then just seen as ridiculous. But surely 30 aligned in the single line car park was provocation. I must say that this Saturday there were only nicer cars which did not stick out from the Dutch, French and (Frith help us) Belgians. The caravan park down the road is seriously full of them though. I wandered through to see what was what, never having been there before, and came out numb. Perhaps my little Destroyer might sort out a few sets of tyres and make us all laugh. (He has been hired by the French government to help scrap their well travelled aircraft carrier.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 But surely 30 aligned in the single line car park was provocation. 30 cars full of rich tourists in a holiday destination - whatever next !![:D]This week we talked about changing our car, it's 7 years old now, but its reliable gets us from A to B without trouble and comfortable - it isn't worth much now so losing value isn't a consideration. Can't see the point. No doubt we'd fit right in the car park though, it's a Picasso ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybananasbrother Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 If you mean old cars then that is something else because they are a passion and almost an art form, so exhibiting them is not the same as Flashharry in his Spivmobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybananasbrother Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Applied to many, that means property money, company car or tic. Few have actually added value to the UK. And too many are just being bullies in the playground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 WB'sBWhen you speak of Tata trucks you dont actually mean real ones do you?Are you speaking of the modern rash of Itchipussy, Toymotor etc Bling Bling spivved up crew cab type pickups with the obligatory huge polished ally roll over bars?If so I can throw some light on why they are so popular with the on tic brigade.
