The impression your car gives off...

[nth]

When your out with friends or what ever... meet a few girls or whatever and they ask you what car you drive, how do they react? Do you have to put a point across to tell them its not what they think? Stereotypically a clio is seen as a teenagers 1st car rather than a hothatch unless you have a sport. Its not like saying ''i drive a golf'' where they already have this image if it being an adults' car.
Do they see you as a ''boy racer'' just because you drive a small hothatch?
e.g.
Her: what car do you drive
you: clio
her::dapprove:
you: its a clio sport though..2.0 etc
her:oh ok...*followed some sort of boy racer joke*

discuss.

tbh if I had one I'd just say I have a "clio sport" and if they don't like it stuff them, as it is I'm a teenager with a normal clio so its just "clio" for the moment

 

[LFCJosh]

i have a clio..a blue one

majority of girls wouldnt even know it was or wasnt a sport if they saw it anyway

Any girl who has to enquire what sort of car you have is clearly a gold digging slut.

 

[iimushroomzii]

I agree with Cat, Tell her its a metro then see how long she sticks around, my bet is not long!!

I just reply 'Clio' and if they ask what type, answer the question.

There's a TopGear clip where Jimmy Carr asks an audience member what he drives, to which he replied '16-valve Golf'. Carr's reply was 'why do I need to know how many valves it has?', making the bloke feel a total dick as a result.

Make, model and type - in that order I reckon.

rofl

 

[brownale01]

i always find for me that only my male friends ask me that question, some of them know instantly when you say cliosport but some i have to point out its a 2.0l, never really had a women ask me tbh

 

[Dafthead]

If I owned a clio, i'd probably tell her I owned a Yugo Zastava/FSO Poliniz/robin reliant or something better

dsnt really have to be women... it was just an example to illustrate the scenario

LOL!

If they ask in conversation I just say a 106. They dont care that its a GTi. Same as id never say "I have a Clio, but its urrmm the Renault Sport version"

If you need to use your car to impress a female I suggest selling it and spending the money on a personality.

Dito.

I have a mate whose parents bought him a Vauxhaul Viva when he passed his driving test (this was when Renault launched the 1st 16v Clio, so we're talking early 90s I guess). We used to go clubbing on Saturdays and he would do anything to get out of driving, even though we used to take it in turns, in case he pulled a bird and she wanted a lift home LOL. That car turned him into a coward when it came to the ladies and it was rather tragic really.

He bought an Alfa rot-box in the end which quickly fell apart.

happy days.

"RS Clio" or "Clio 172" not "a Clio"

I stand by my comment regardless haha

Thats why I always reply 'Ferrari Baby' then dropped the gold digging slut home the next morning my Bodykitted Laguna engined Clio that I tell her was all my own work.

But then you have to explain. Thats not so bad if you're talking to your mates who are interested in cars.

Anyone else it makes you sound like a nerd who is worried what people will think of him because you drive a Clio.

I dont really care what people think tbh im just telling them what car I have.

 

[Gally]

I don't think it's so much gold digging, just a way of judging what kind of person they are maybe or if they have money ect... might just be part of the conversation.
I have a puma so the convo doesn't go much further after I try to explain i'm not a gay hairdresser!

 

[Revels]

I dont really care what people think tbh.

Then why go into detail about what kind of Clio?

 

[Greeny.]

"Clio 172" isnt going into detail really.

 

[cat171]

Talking of using a car to try to impress women, my mate used to get totally drunk, letch onto women & his opening line would be "I've got an s2000" every week he said the same thing, he was oblivious that they didn't care and that we were taking the pee out of him. It always gave us an 'in' though

Thats why I always reply 'Ferrari Baby' then dropped the gold digging slut home the next morning my Bodykitted Laguna engined Clio that I tell her was all my own work.

Fpmsl !!

+12. Any women asked me that question on a first meeting and I'd turn around and walk off.

 

[H182]

I just say I drive a clio unless they ask what type it is.

 

[swell]

mine goes...

me = caps...

ORITE
hiya
DRINK
umm ye

 

[jesus]

When you say 'Clio sport', most people will just think 'sport' is just a trim. If you say 'Clio 182' for example, they might ask what the 182 means and there you go.

umm ye go on then,
****get drinks****

LOL and reply with "well, you see, the 182 bit means it has about 174bhp if I'm lucky" roffle. It's a Clio. Done.

 

[-Leigh-]

Never had a girl ask me what car I drive?

Asked about job, but never car.

LOL! I wouldn't go into it tbh. Can't imagine a bird asking a guy what car he drives anyway unless he's always banging on about it.

iv had that one... Dolphin trainer is a winner everytime...

dont have the same kind of reacion if i tell her im a scaffolder

 

[pagey6005]

Dont dis 'tro's' my first car was a rover 100!

Was a passion wagon! LoL

 

[Tupps]

Chick - "What car do you have"
Tupps - "Clio 172 cup with AAS exhaust and RSTuner, soon to be lowered 40mm on apex springs... i really should get the cambelt done as it's due but i don't care because i'm extra hard... wanna make out?"
Chick *walks off*

Knows. Im hoping to buy a standard 1.6 astra/ focus/ golf as a £1k runaround.

All of the above are more impressive to women/ friends than my cup. Fact.

 

[sean_d]

Just say Clio
