Default Car people and football..........

Been wondering this for ages after seeing a few posts recently....

Do you reckon it's true in general that if you're into cars, then you despise football?

I know there a few exceptions on the board, but I think in general it's true/

I think it might also to apply to all sport and exercise too!

I am NOT a fan... but then nor is my dad (my mum however is a sports obsessive - she's the only person I know who will watch every single game of the Euro\World Cups)

And she supports Man U.

Sad.

Looking at it though in my close little lot: DaveyBoy and Waps are all into cars not football (unless it's England and it's in a pub) whereas Martin and Billy are complete opposites.. you could be bang on the money there Luv

Yeah you'd have to be to watch a load of blokes running around in shorts

Personally i aint a big footie fan, 90 minutes of :yawn: boring poo IMHO.

Although i do slightly support my local home team as its where all my family were brought up, i'm saying no more than CAFC

Other than that, motorsport all the way

Not at all, I used to be a massive footy fan and still go down to the pub and watch the games whenever I can..

One of my mates knows absolutely everything about football and he is also well into his cars, with a degree in motorsport engineering!
