also the fact that the headline reads: Woman smashes up wrong car after row also gives a little clue to the gender....;)

Yeah - I know a man who can't tell a Ford from a Vauxhall let alone the model!
What a disgrace to the male sex eh? ;)

It depends how old the corsa & fiesta are. In Europe the the first Corsa was actually what we call the nova, and I think the Fiesta equivelant at the time does look rather similar. also the Fiesta Mk4 looks a lot like the 94-99 body style of the corsa imo.

the difference here though is that men are perfectly entitled to make these mistakes, it is just a "slip of the tongue", "just testing" or a "momentary lapse".

of course with women, you are obviously all idiots ;)

On the other hand, women can be quite subtle in their revenge. The one I like best is the wronged wife who sewed prawns unobtrusively into the the edging of the curtains before she moved out of the house. A less subtle method was to clean the toilet with the husband's toothbrush.

And, in a few years time, people will be buying them commercially, using them to go shopping at Tescos, while some people will be setting up threads about them being used on bridleways...

While I dont like a lot of car mods myself, all I see when I read that site is a bitter person, ****ing and maoning about something that really doesnt concern him.
I like a lot of his misconceptions about the cars aswel, like when he says that 7" lcd TVs cost over £1,100, more like £70. He also says that Nissan micras are driven on motors, interesting, and I thought they used engines all this time. Now that last one could have been him taking the mickey but it just made him look stupid instead of the otherway around.

As for your query about Micras being driven by Motors rather than Engines, well, a lot of people (including your average Barryboy) use the two terms interchangably. Indeed, the full name of a car is a Motor Car..

Much as I welcome the changing of the thread bias from Typical Women!? I think we are seriously in danger of getting off topic.

Anyway I've got some pruning to do......
