    Can of worms I know but by 'knackers' do you mean Trackie McKnackie or Big Francie McDonagh?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,954 ✭✭✭Banjaxed82

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,551 ✭✭✭SeaFields

    Don't know about why any type of person in particular likes them. But in general....they are cheap, very fuel efficient, and probably the most reliable car ever built. If even slightly looked after nothing will ever ever go wrong with them. Great little cars to be honest. Perfectly engineered for what they are meant to be. Hugely popular and consistent top sellers in every country they have ever been sold in.


    No, I don't work for Nissan or have ever owned a Micra, it's just common knowledge amongst people that know anything at all about cars.

    Yeeah, bitches be callin', I be stuck on a hill


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,954 ✭✭✭Banjaxed82


    Unless the Micra is your basic entry level cool car?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,918 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda

    You and I sir are on the same side here. I dare say I agree with you, I do see the ghasthly creatures in town every weekend, the commoner north side type with the sports cap, the girlriend with the large earings, the tracksuits.

    I can never go into mcdonalds without them infesting it. The scanger mobiles are just one of the problems with these lowly creatures.

    Aye, it's for me Ma.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,617 ✭✭✭Cat Melodeon


    My first car was a Micra. I'm not a skanger or a trackie wearer or an auld wan. I wanted a cheap reliable car, it fit the bill.

    People who think cool comes from the car you drive have no idea about cool :cool:

    Would Sir be interested in the perrywinkle blue?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,039 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori


    Awww OP. The missus and myself are looking to a 00 or 01 Micra as our first car. :(

    We settled on it as, it's cheap, very reliable and has low running costs.

    You'll be ok....so long as you NEVER wear a tracksuit while driving otherwise you car may be seized and crushed in front of you :D

    Yes indeed my good chap. She is purely bread I presume? Of good lineage? A dandy gentleman like yourself would not attempt to pass me off with a common mutt? Lest such a scurrilous act reflect badly on your family name.

    Fear not! I once had the honor of taming this mighty beast, it did'st turn away many a fair maiden, but its fuel economy did'st shake the very foundations of my........wallet

    'Cause "Nissan" rhymes with "Nice wan".

    Also, as a knacker, I found your post highly defamatory.

    general rule of thumb if i wanted to avoid them types i would certainly not go into mc donalds or even worse KFC

    Micra? Knacker?? What are you smoking...

    Anytime I see a knacker they are driving '08 Nissan Jeeps, corolla's, Passat etc.

    I wonder where they get the money from to afford these luxury motor vehicles. :rolleyes:

    You're thinking of lowlife scumbags, they are the people driving micras.

    Also, more old, senile people drive micras thats scumbags. They are worse tbh.

    The fact that it runs off 2 AA batteries leaves any aspiring young Trackie-wearer plenty of money to put a muffler on it, and a huge spoiler (so-called because they spoil the look of any decent car) not to mention chrome rims and bucket seats.

    The bucket seats make it nice an comfortable when you hit top speed in 5th gear (circa 84kph), all that matters is that it SOUNDS like you are driving a fast car (or a dodgy washing machine)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 73 ✭✭rocco.


    well, because your ma dribbles wen one passes by!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 71 ✭✭FunkDrummer


    Well I'm OK so, I don't own a tracksuit.

    ......yet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 449 ✭✭howyanow


    surely the ford escort is car of choice of these so called un-desireables


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,370 ✭✭✭✭Son Of A Vidic


    Knackers driving the Nissan Micra? That's a first for me, if anything, I find it's a popular model with older/elderly drivers. That's some gift you got there OP - being able to judge someone by the car they drive.

    I love my micra :(


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,631 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    Well after my micra hit a pole at 160kmh and nobody was killed, they're fairly safe too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,826 ✭✭✭phill106


    Because if the revenue comes around, they park the micra in the back of the high ace, park the high ace inside the caravan, and no vehicles to be seen boss!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 261 ✭✭this is arse


    why don't you ask a knacker?

    Since when have scumbags of the tracksuit wearing variety been called knackers, big difference between them and the more widely accepted use of the word.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I think jackeens call scumbags knackers.
    Anyway, this ends here.
