when i walked back to my car when parked in a public car park, i noticed 2 old dears probably in their 60s possibly even 70s pointing and discussing my body kit (i only have the standard toyota one) and i swear i heard one of them say "lovely skirts".

 

I would have chatted to them and invited them to a "meet" but i was so gob smacked i couldn't speak so just drove off....it was hilerious.

Once when i had my old SZ, i pulled up outside work (in a Taxi bay), a rotund and rather obnoxious fellow proceeded to tell me how shit it was and that his Porsche 999 would leave it for dead, i kind of looked at him vacantly not knowing what to say when he then repeated it's shit, fucking shit,shit, shit........What is it?

 

PMSL.

I've had all sorts.

 

I was on the M25 last summer when a minibus full of sixth formers started hanging out of the windows taking pics and vids with their phones.

 

I've been spat at.

 

I've had loads of oap's telling me it's awesome.

 

I had a geordie say "I fookin hate Porsches!" while pointing at my car.

 

I've had ladies comment that it looked really nice.

 

My Gran loves it.

Not many personally, but the one that most suprised me was when my boss saw my current Supra for the first time. He said that somehow he imagined I'd buy a GT rather than an open two seater. He went on to tell me it was a shame the UK Supra market dried up and that he'd always thought the Supra was one of the best looking front engined rear wheel drive cars of all time.

Coming from a 67 year old who'd had his fair share of Ferraris (Daytona was my favorite, but that went to the vat man I think), Cobras, classic Jags and Astons, I thought that was cool.

was driving through town tonight when 2 girls called out at me, pulled up and they came up to the window and asked for a lift,

(big tits hangin out of small top) so would have been rude to say no!

then starts questioning what i do to have such a nice car at my age, then noticed my mate skinning up in the passenger seat,

she got all arsey and said "i think we will walk actually!"

 

cheeky bitch!

Pulling up outside my folks place in Cardiff to a gang of about 8 young teenage girls squealing.. "Can I pimp your ride mister?" ... Jeeees.

 

Also, it is quite scary the amount of "older" folks love the shape of the Supe.

 

Amusingly, the disapproving Mum - "oh you arent buying that 'sports car' you were looking at are you? - I don't think it is right, not you at all...."... turned up with it... "Oh my, that is a beautiful looking car! I like that".. Well jees mum you were used to seeing me driving a frickin Fiesta before!

 

Oh... the other half when she saw it... Took one look and said "Slut!" (referring to the car of course ;))
