A little off topic for this section but all the lowbrow “light hearted” micky taking I get for actually admitting that I like driving my MX5 is starting to get to me [:@].
When people say it’s not a REAL mans car I tent to reply with either " Well, I bought it when I realised I don’t need a p3nis extension. [:P] " or " Yes, Your right, They’re predominantly driven by homosexual hairdressers. But then, Homosexual hairdressers don’t tend to be boy racers so statistically they less likely to wrap there cars around lamp posts every 5 minuits… How much did you say you spent on your car insurance again?"
So, Just to try and put this “Gay/Girls/Coiffeurs car” subject to bed for the last time, How many of the forum members are straight men with no hair trimming tendencies ?
(Strangely, My sisters a hairdresser and she said she wouldn’t be seen dead driving my car !)
Disclaimer - I am in no way belittling, Or excluding from adding a reply, To anyone who,
A - Enjoys the company of persons who are of the same gender as themselves.
B - Possesses a X chromosome.
C - Anyone who’s passport says “Stylist” under occupation. (Except for my sister, Who clearly has no taste in cars.)
And if any individual members fail to post on this thread, That will in no way bear any reference to there personal lifestyle preferences.
(There, I can’t see any way that admin can get worried about this thread now… Mind you, I’ve been wrong about this before [:^)] )
Offer to take them for a spin down some B roads. Works every time and makes them realise their shopping trolley/repmobile/4x4 really isnt that much fun[H]
Useful comebacks to 'hairdresser" jibes:
“I already have a testosterone surplus. And you drive a…”
“How many years did it take to pay for your…” (they’re usually still paying for it, and don’t know)
Against the folically challenged:
“I could give you a discount, seeing as the top won’t need doing”
That clipper their own:
“Well one of us really does cut hair, at least over the ears…”
(Best to run for cover if using the last two)
This is a bit worrying for me as i do actually take pride in having a nice hair do and my friends know it too! plus clothes for me are a real passion and i do try to keep myself tidy too[:)]
Mind you, i don’t personally know any hairdressers and although i am single that’s because my partner is my 5!!!

Try vomiting on the windscreen of their people carrier. That should do the trick.

You could do, but given that you’re unlikely to be taking the MX-5’s name in vain in the first place it seems a bit pointless. But it would at least make your neighbours frightened of you.
I think there was a product called Hurl Magic or something that Ronco or K-Tel used to advertise on the telly as not being available in any shops. But it was a while ago, around the same time that I used to eat a lot of acid so my memory may not serve me as well as I might like. If you wait long enough, the birds will eat it all for you.
