Two comments. First Mrs cafcfan would, quite rightly, go apeshit if I had the temerity to buy her a motor without her having had the opportunity to see it and test drive it. How is SamCam going to be feeling about this?

Second, a clapped out ancient Nissan Micra - what was he thinking?

No nookie for you for some while Mr Prime Minister....

    It's bullshit. Look at me, I'm a man of the people, I can only afford a clapped out Micra, we're in this together, you've seen my tax return.

    Sam's probably got a Bentley in the quadruple garage at home.

    A reaction to not doing a good job of convincing us he wasn't posh the other day?

    Agree. It's a shame they think we care, the modern obsession with PR really gets in the way.

    Lucky a photographer happened to be there to capture the embarrassment of a PM buying a cheap car for their missus, who isn't embarrassed.

    Would have been more convincing if someone had snapped Sam in disguise getting out of a clapped out Micra in Lidl's carpark.

    He'll be telling us next that if we were to Brexit he would only be able to afford to buy her a bike....

    He's buying it now because prices will soar once we leave the EU.

    Not sure how useful a Nissan Micra will be during World War 3

    to be fair the newer micras aren't bad looking. My missus has an old model and it's literally just a tin can with a motor.

    Yer, can just imagine him allowing a random person take a shot jangling keys to share on Facebook

    Bit of a random thing to cunt the bloke off over but I suppose that's the world we live in.

    With regards to the photo, it was probably taken by a member of staff so the boss could have it in the office, I can't imagine the PM posing like that for the paps

    It would have been taken by one of Dave's PR team so that it could then be circulated to the media.

    if he'd bought her a 25k Merc would that have drawn such criticism?

    Could be mate, I just meant it wasn't a case of the paps turning up and catching him buying the motor

    If he had purchased a 25k merc, the c wouldn't be whoring photos to the media

    That Micra was probably made in the UK

    A bit weird why Sam Cam needs a cheap small car now, his oldest child is only 12, so it's not as if she'll be learning to drive in it either.

    Ridiculous publicity stunt! I'm telling you I'd be in deep sh*t if I bought my wife a Micra and I'm out of work!

    Did he ask for a discount for cash, just don't mention it to the bloke next door ?

    The garage owner missed a trick there, I'd have put the red one for £1500 next to the blue one for £2000!

    I love the little caption in the corner -" I ate chips once" :smiley:

    Edited - actually I have just realised the absurdity of putting that comment up - it's not as though none of you can't read it in the first place, is it! :neutral:
    Sorry, pointless post alert...too much time on his hands...
