Ever since the days of beating WhiteBoyBob round the mountain tracks on split screen 2 player Gran Turismo on the PS1, my gaming racing car of choice has always been a Subaru Impreza WRX.
I am currently working up to purchasing one on Forza Motorsport 2 on the Xbox 360. I have got as far as a Mini at the moment, with an old Jag and a Roadster too.
Although I am definitely "not a car sort of person" and would probably still be huffing around on my BMX if my ex-employer had'nt paid for me to learn to drive - I have always sort of hankered for having a Subaru one day.
The problem is this though... I have seen three really nice ones out on the road in the last 2 days - but they have all been driven by girls!
So - does this mean that the shiny, imported, chipped blue Subaru with the gold alloys that I saw yesterday is really a "girls car"? Or was she just borrowing it whilst her baseball cap wearing chav hubby was out doing community service?
And should I be looking for a more manly car than that now? Perhaps a Supra or an Audi TT?

LOL It’s not about what a girl drives, it’s how she drives it that counts
TT manly??
You’re not joking about not really being a car person are you… I’m a committed believer in the principle of drive whatever pleases you but the only way to make a TT more feminine is through the judicious application of Hello Kitty.
My advice would be to buy the car that you want for whatever reason and enjoy it. One of my all time favourite rides is the MX5, and yes colleagues did ask where I plugged in the hairdryer and curling tongs, hahaha you really should be on the stage sir. Fuck’em… it’s one of the sweetest handling cars ever made and about ten times as much fun as trying to stop a TVR from killing you when you finally get the bastard started.
I agree with Driver Chris, buy whatever you want and fuck ‘em.
People look at me gone out when I say I want to buy a people carrier.
But it will work for me.
Mind you, I do want a GSI 2.2 auto leather version of the 150BHP type of MPV.
And a towbar.
