Recently in Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson claimed that the BMW Z4 is only diven by people who like to enjoy some wife swapping.

“So, what about the Owls? Owls are middle-class, middle-brow people who live on estates but don't have affairs, because they do a lot of wife-swapping. Many, therefore, have BMW Z4s”
Jeremy Clarkson, March 2010.

As the largest UK based Swingers club, The Adult Hub we decided to put this theory to the test. We polled 962 of our members on the type of car they drove and compared it with the current UK car manufacturer market share.

The results below show that within the Swinging world, BMW has 168% above average market share when compared with the UK population as a whole. Other notable marques include Toyota (36%) and Honda (35%).

At the other end of the scale Ford is the least popular make with Swingers (-38% on average). Volkswagen (-32%) and Vauxhall (-31%) don’t impress them much either.
