Every now and then we see Jehovah's Witnesses park their cars and gather together for one of their periodic house-to-house visiting sessions. For some reason we are always slightly surprised at the cars they drive.
As their religion is presumably be a large part of their lives, we'd expect them to drive something excessively modest. Something small and old with paintwork the colour of an old potato sack for example. I don't know why - stereotypes and prejudice I suppose. Anyhow the expectation seems to be wrong.
From our limited experience Jehovah's Witnesses tend to drive cars which are very modest but not as modest as the basic model. Their cars are tinged with the very slightest hint of cautious flamboyance. Two tone paintwork and even a hint of sporty aspirations. The Toyota Aygo pictured above is a good example. Faintly flash.

They are not allowed to use other types of car, because the Toyota Aygo is specified in their holy book.
"And the Lord said: 'Ay, Go an' preach to people on their doorsteps'".
Old song. "Oh you can't go to heaven in an old Ford car, because an old Ford car won't go that far....". Should this now be in the Hymns Ancient And Modern?
Interesting angle - which car would Jehovah drive?
Sam - crikey Toyota doesn't miss a trick.
Demetrius - possibly but it may need an extra line or two about Toyota.
James - something loud with flames bursting from the exhaust.
