personally if thats what they think they are obviously too stupid /ignorant to warrant you wasting you breath on, simply agree with them and tell them youre not going as you have to go and help youre mate put a sunstrip on a windscreen

Gay car is the MX5 :gayflag: . They drive quite well but are usually driven by girls, hairdressers or poofs. Mind you BMW's Z3 is a very hot contender.

Chaviest car ever is the Saxo or Nova. No offence to the people that actually have well modded examples. But so many just look like utter shite and are crammed full of baseball cap wearing little wankers

Quotes for you:

"If Escorts are so gay how come some of them are still worth over Ł20000 despite being 10 years old" (Escort Cosworth)

"How can a car that has such a rallying heritage and pedigree be gay?"

Can anyone - or all of us - try to find out how many rally cahmpionships / circuit championships escorts (Mk1-Escort Cossie) won? Apparently the Escort range has had no racing car pedigree or image!!!

See if you can find out what some high profile gay people drive, I bet they don't drive Escorts!

Dale Winton, George Michael etc.

Ben, there's some useful info here: http://www.rsownersclub.co.uk/car_info/menu.htm

The Ford Escort - Most successful rally car in the world

In 1968 the newly launched Escort Twin Cam kicked-off a 30 year winning spree with a spectacular first season scoring enough international rally victories to secure the coveted World Rally Championship for Makes. Ford Escorts of all types, competing at all levels, were successful rally winners up to the turn of the century, and even today are still occasionally winning events all round the world...........

...............The Ford Escort, in its many forms, has won 46 world-class and World Championship rallies, and innumerable national and International series - privately-owned Escorts continue to record victory after victory, and will surely add fresh entries into the record-books in the months, and years, to come.
Good luck, lol.

An old skool RWD Escort is a proper hairy chested car!

I think they were probably talking about white XR3i Cabriolets, they really are one of the gayest cars in the world Everyone calls them hairdresser cars!

I agree, how can anybody say the escort is a gay car,its a very broad statement to make as a bog standard 1.3 lx is certanly a car for a batty lover but a series 1 will never be gay and the escort cosworths, not gay at all.

The escort turbo was the car to have in them days, it may not be people first choice today but id say its unfair to class it as gay.

For chav id say has to be a rotten nova gte or battered xr3i

As for the gay car, its goda be the smart car or mx5

Good luck with your quest

The car of choice for a chav has got to be a nova, i thought it was some unwritten
law!!!
How did they come to the conclusion that a escort was a gay car? i bet it was mx5
owner's that voted for that to take the attention away from them self's

Sounds about right

Er, What the fuck would FHM readers know about gay cars??

Magazine of the Metrosexual?? I fucking hate FHM... A magazine for office workers in London. Bag of shite.

If the readers of a decent magazine had voted my beloved Escort the gayest car ever I'd be worried, but this is from a mag that thinks the new Mini is cool...

Ben.......game over then

Before all the cabby owners start giving me grief , I had a turbo'd one donkey's years ago and had to sell it (had it about a month) cos it made me feel all strange (plus the missus didn't like being dropped off at hospital in a 4 door Sapph' Cos to give birth, to be picked up a few days later in a 2 door cabby

Thing is FHM only ever have stuff like Ferrari/Lambo/Bugatti/Porsche etc in their mag if they are talking about cars in a 'Wow look at this Supercar' feature. Anyone that owns/drives a car like that would probably not even wipe their arse with FHM. At the end of the day, what are the FHM staff driving? Yes, thats right, cars no better than you and me.

Gay car = New Shape Fiat Panda

Chav car = Honda Civic or Citroen Saxo

Hi Shell, well the Brighton slot was a nightmare I was buzzing my tits off on too much coffee and was very aware not to offend the undoubtedly large gay listening audience!
The second slot (Sussex) was wicked, as was the Surrey one, had a right laugh and I got my points across so it was all good thanks!!
