(Or should that be 'beauty therapist' in today's PC speak? )

    The archetypal hairdresser's car for me is the Peugeot 206CC.

    That's exactly what popped in mind when I read the thread tittle....

    It makes perfect sense: they can allow everybody to see how queer they are, and they are easy to park. Of course they'll be wearing some kind of hat all the time to protect them from the harmful sun.

    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Audi TT and Mercedes SLK are the first to pop in mind.

    my hairdresser had a TT, actually he still has it, but he sold the shop. The new owner drives a C5 (Citroen )

    Aha! Proof !

    My hairdresser drives a Saab 93 convertible. Sometimes you see him driving around town with 3 of his boyfriends in the car.

    Yeah, but the C5 is a cool car not a hairdresser's car. I just meant the Audi.

    What hdi are you going to get ? The 2.0 or the 2.2 ? Or the 1.6 ? Not the C6 ? I'm a bit sad that the C6 is a bit overpriced.

    I am looking for the rarest of the breed, the 2.2 Hdi manual break, and I don't want to spend the full amount for a new car anymore...
