Other thread got me thinking, just looked out of the window at the cars parked outside the office and the age of the drivers, it conforms to a dangerous pattern:
30-40 Audi TT
40-50 Audi A5
50-60 Audi A6
60+ Merc C + E class
2 of us under 30 in the office, we both ride to work.
tell us your office car park trends....
Porsche = Prick
95% Fords*
On a Ford site
44 - Audi TT (me)
Edit - 43 (too old to remember how old I am)
No real pattern. People here either have a decent enough car if they earn a bit more, or they drive something that works/refuses to die like I do.
I used to think that the standard car was a Focus, but a lot of people changed them for other things and it's swinging to Mondeos and BMWs now.
Directors: Mercedes, Audi and BMW
Middle Managment: Audi, mondeoS-Type, Peugeot, Nissan
The rest have assorted Peugeots, Fords, Vauxhalls etc.
I'm on a bike.

I am surprised that with so many staff over the age of forty that you require hairdressers on site.
Cars?
*looks out of window*
Mostly rep-mobiles, the odd cock-wagon.
Car park? What's that? I believe there's only 1 Audi owner here (although someone with a Mazda3 tells me that it's actually really an Audi), no Merc owners, a couple of Ford Focus owners, a couple of VW owners.
Over half of us cycle.
This site: people are technical types, so pay is lower. Sister site 10 miles away: lots of sales people = more Porsche Cayennes than you can shake a stick at.
Pretty much all high end German and Italian when I go in to the office. There are a couple of Maybachs too *puke*
Stereotyping of car owners = mega arsehole
Stereotyping of people stereotyping car owners = meta arsehole?
Most people in my office are cocks regardless of car driven.
Most people are cocks.
Do I get a prize?

Hmm. We don't have a car park. Everyone bikes, walks, runs or uses public transport. Not sure what that says about us.
We've got a few silver ones, a couple of red ones and some which are black, blue or green.
I'd have to go and look at the badges to tell you what make they are.
Porsche = Prick
Col.
Porsche owner, audi owner, multiple bike owner, non-pr1ck.
some old, some new, some in between. IT doesn't seem to relate to pay/grade either as we're a manufacturing site, have people ranging from temporary labourers right up to directors & everything in between. big range of makes & models too
Sorry you had to find out this way Col... thems the rules, I don't make 'em.
The last two cars that almost ran me over here in Manchester were both Porsches. Make of that what you will.
They were the rubbish ones though - the first a Boxster, and the second, a Cayenne chicken.
I don't know if that makes a difference.
you were nearly run over by a porche? Is that like a French porch, how the hell were they getting around the one way ?
I'm 37 and have no office car park. It's like this:
20-30 Fixie
30-40 Cross bike or MTB adapted for the commute
40-50 Road bike
50+ Oyster Card
tadeuszkrieger - they looked liked Porches, that's for sure
Fair do's
TSY - Oh, well, i suppose one day I had to be told. Such a shame. 
EDIT: this mornings car park count
Misi Pajero
VW California
Golf GTI
Audi Rs4
Maserati Quattroporte
Toyota Corolla
VW Eos (i think thats what they are called)
Toyota Avensis
Some new Jag which is the chairmans and looks v expensive
My bike
Ahh, don't worry, I'm a prick and I don't even have a porsche... one day though, one day...
I don't drive mine on the road, it's a track car. I learnt my lesson when i had to collect my MTB from being fixed and my VW van was unwell (again, as usual, driveshaft that time). Had to put it in the passenger seat of the 993 I had. First set of lights someone spat at me (!) and the guys in the van next to me abused me. I found it quite enlightening really.
our car park:
- company Audi A8
- company Audi A8
- company Range Rover
- Mini Cooper S
- Ferrari 575
- Aston Martin DB9
- 10 scabby motorbikes
- 15 scabby scooters
- 40+ bicycles
Ours:
Mainly black or silver ones, with the odd red or blue one for good measure
NZCol - there's nothing like a nice car to bring out the green eyed monster in other people. If I see someone driving a nice car I usually think "nice car", not "what a t**t".
I really try very hard not to succumb to stereotyping but to my shame (well, not really but you know what I mean), I giggled to myself when I read that mastiles fanylion drives an Audi TT.
30-40 Audi TT
40-50 Audi A5
50-60 Audi A6
60+ Merc C + E class
blimey, can i have a job please, most of the cars in our car park struggle to pass an MOT and were made well before 2000, but that's public sector NHS wages for you
If we only look at the carpark where my bike shed is (the main car aprks are frigging enormous at my place), it's the one where most of the directors park so there's the CFO's huge Lexus (he has CFO on his plate), it's a Friday so the CEO is in his Aston Martin and there's a couple of large Audi's. No idea how old any of these people are mind.
In the bike shed there would be my bright orange fixie because I'm an attention seeking cock, a ribble and a boardman (cyclescheme bikes - they'll disappear when the sun goes), an old mountain bike, a big full suss and a BMX.
