Hair dressers cars...

[taz_rocks_miami]

I've see the term hair dressers car used a few times here on UCP. What car(s) do you consider fall into that category? What makes it a hair dressers car?

[Niko_Fx]

Taz, tell me what car do you drive and I'll let you know :D

[spi-ti-tout]

Yahoooooooo! :)

Probably a soft-top car with hair attached all over so you can see the windows :)

[Rockefella]

Examples: Audi TT, some cutesy volvo convertables, Audi A3, stuff like that.

[johnnynumfiv]

Some of the hairdressers around here drive camaros, audi A6s, corvettes, and bmw's.

[Matra et Alpine]

MX-5
Lotus Elan S2
All BMW convertibles, but ESPECIALY the Z-series
All CC coupes - Peugeot 206CC, Renautl Megane CC, Peugeot 307CC
M-B SL and SLK ( rich hairdressers :) )
MG F

Audi TT

[Niko_Fx]

The A3 is a badass car IMO, one of the best hatchs out there.

The TT is closer but not quite.

[Rockefella]

The A3? Even the new V6 Quattro?? :(
Nah, the wealthier ones drive stuff like the new 5-series, SLK's, E-classe, just feminine looking cars.

[taz_rocks_miami]

Taz, tell me what car do you drive and I'll let you know :D

Because I've had to save money due to the move to Queretaro to start up my biz, I'm driving something I'm not proud of. Hence I've never told anyone I have it. You'll know what it is by this discription....it's the car Taz hates most of all on this earth!!!!!!!! HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

It's better to drive cheap cars in Central/South American countries anyways :)

Erhmmm... Civic? Civics are for hairdressers, stupid a$$ Civics :mad:

[Matra et Alpine]

Ohhh!! You're gonna get some for that comment!!
I'm expecting to see the A610 get a mention.

if you had ever seen the guy who drove it in Eldorado then a "hairdresser" woudl be a step UP :)

[spi-ti-tout]

Erhmmm... Civic? Civics are for hairdressers, stupid a$$ Civics :mad:
The stock ones are nice for family use :)

I was JUST Gonna Ask Taz which car he had. Seems like he'll blow up if I do :)

[Niko_Fx]

I'm expecting to see the A610 get a mention.

It doesn't need a mention, we ALL know the A610 is a hairdresser's car...;)

[taz_rocks_miami]

True but Mexico is in North America my friend. I know you mean Latin America in general ;)


Erhmmm... Civic? Civics are for hairdressers, stupid a$$ Civics :mad:

Nope, not a Honda Civic, that would be a hell of an upgrade from this POS:)

I guess I'm a hairdresser, I like all of those... And I like a nicely modified Beetle. Eh, whatever. :rolleyes:

[taz_rocks_miami]

So what would be worse for you? To be seen behind the wheel of a hair dressers car or a riced up car? :confused:

[taz_rocks_miami]

And I like a nicely modified Beetle. Eh, whatever. :rolleyes:

What's the point of modifying a Beatle, raising the HP from 44 (yep, you read right) to 88 HP if you can double it?? Yippie!!!....NOT.

[Cotterik]

the ultimate hairdressers car is ofcourse the Peugeot 206cc and the 307cc, ive never seen a man in those cars!!!

[johnnynumfiv]

Thats the kind of HP raise you'd get out of beefing up an MG motor :)

[taz_rocks_miami]

Stock MGs came with 44 HP?? Even so, MGs are cool, Bugs are...hideous to say the least:)

[johnnynumfiv]

The early ones came stock around there. In the magazine Classic Motorsports, they dynoed a 1971 midget, that supposedly came with ~60 hp stock, but they got 42 out of it.

[Quiggs]

Oh c'mon Taz, you know you'd rock any of these... :)

[taz_rocks_miami]

Oh c'mon Taz, you know you'd rock any of these... :)

LOL, the black "new" beatle looks like it's sleepy!!! Hahaha. The Bug doing a wheelie at the drag strip gives me an idea...a 350 small block swap?? Nah, it's still ugly :( But that black one really made me laugh, thanks Quiggs :)

[Niko_Fx]

The stock ones are nice for family use :)

I was just kidding, I own one :)

As for the beetles, I wouldn't mind driving this one:

[IBrake4Rainbows]

I think my Barber catches the bus.

Why do you all go to the Hair Salon? With your wifes/G/Fs/Significant others?

[McReis]

For me, hairdresser's car are:

VW Beetle Cabrio
Audi TT
1st generation SLK
Mini Cabrio
CLK cabrio
Golf Cabrio
206/307cc
Mégane Cabrio
Tigra
Punto Cabrio
Chrysler Stratos (for a fat hairdresser)

[emperor]

:) :d

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Thats the Dog Groomers Car.

not a nice way to talk about some of the Salon's Customers......:p

[henk4]

are there other cars related to specific professions? Window cleaners very regularly seem to make use of Nissan Patrols

[IBrake4Rainbows]

So does the UN, Although more with Land Cruisers.

Fleet cars are often associated with boring, middle management jobs.

eg: the Vauxhall Vectra is perfectly made for Dave from Sales.

Other than that, the only ones i can think of are Volvo Estates for Art dealers and second-hand furniature people.

Oh, and the infamous white van for tradies.

black golfs for computer consultants, black polos for the female version of that

Mercedes Benz S-Class usually is for a diplomat around my area.

I had the Prince of Samoa's Chaffeur (SP?) nearly run me down when i was in Sydney the other week.

Audi TT

:rolleyes: Name anyhairdresses in the world that owns an audi TT, then I will agree with you. I know its all about the image these cars portray, but i don't think the Audi TT coupe projects that image. On the oher habd I think that the convertable does.

Pieter has allready said his hairdresser has one! :D
And anyway a TT is a car for posers, as it is nothing more than a A3 with a strange flashy body. Nothing sporty about those engines and dynamics.
And if it is for posers, it suits hairdresser's perfectly! ;)

[henk4]

Chiel Hamers, hairdresser in Rozenburg, Holland, do you agree now?

[6'bore]

Chiel Hamers, hairdresser in Rozenburg, Holland, do you agree now?

lmao. didn't think anyone would be able to do that, so the answer would be yes, i do agree. But I think there will be certain ways you can make an Audi TT no hairdresser car, e.g putting different wheels on it and making it look more agressive.

My Girlfriend's hairdresser drives a Chimaera. I can't quite make my mind up about that. I mean, it's not that small, but it is a two seater soft top... Maybe it's a hairy chested hairdresser's car or something...*


* I haven't actually seen my gf's hairdresser's chest... I'm just conjecturing...

He probably isnt.

EDIT: coming up to 6000 posts henk.

[henk4]

is there a penalty for that? :confused:

If you want there to be it can most likely be arranged.

1. hairdresser's car

Any two-seated sports car that is clearly aspirational in its ownership. For example a Mazda MX5 or a BMW Z3.

Omg! I can't believe they've got an MX5. That is such a hairdresser's car...

Have you heard that Mariah Carey pays her hair dresser 20 000$ for each visit?
I guess for this particular hair dresser the car would be something like Maybach or Phantom.

[Widsinator]

Mr-2 is not a hairdresser car, or well maybe the latest generation, but the older ones aren't. RWD a turbo and 0-60 in under 6.5?

While I kinda agree on this one. Let's make stereotypes of all car drivers!

Civics: Ricer boy
Camaro: Hick
Anything Daewoo: Cheap ass
S2000: Asshole
Anything Ferrari: Selfish prick
H2: Soccer mom who gives a shit less about MPG.

The list goes on and on. Stereotypes are lame.

it has NOTHING to do with performance.

Sorry, it's a HAIRDRESSERs car :)

Exactly, the GTM Spyder will get to 60 in around 4.5-5.0 seconds and out handle many Elises but it is still a hairdressers car.

[Lagonda]

Fleet cars are often associated with boring, middle management jobs.

eg: the Vauxhall Vectra is perfectly made for Dave from Sales.

The ultimate fleet cars over here are the Audi A4 1.9 TDI and the BMW 318d or 320d, we have thousands of them.

My hairdresser drives a Saab convertible.

[Turbonutter55]

the ultimate hairdressers car is ofcourse the Peugeot 206cc and the 307cc, ive never seen a man in those cars!!!
I have. The ULTIMATE hairdresser's car has to be a Nissan Figaro. Click here to see it (http://www.microcar.org/carspecs/nissanfigaro.html). One thing you must remember as you look at it is that it is NOT a classic. It was built in the 1990s, and is a rebodied Mk.2 Micra.
As for other stereotypes, anyone who drives a Volvo 440 either is a member of Greenpeace (if not PETA or ALF) or is over 65.
Any man who drives a BMW X5 is a drug dealer.
If someone drives a used Daewoo or Proton, they probably do not know off the top of their head what kind of car they own, let alone the engine capacity or reg number.
