ZetecVan 2.0 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Posted November 3, 2006 I drove over to my dads this aft in the van, and the traffic was shite. I couldn't get my foot down, and was stuck in second gear for half the journey. Because I was going so slow I seemed to notice more people looking at the van. People at bus stops pointing and watching as I passed. For the first mile there was a transit behind me. He was turning right at some lights, and as he changed lanes and passed me, the passenger was hanging out the window with his camera phone taking pics. Then when I was near my dads, two lads ran down the road to get in front of me to take pictures on their phone too. Made my day it did.

Trevmk3 Posted November 4, 2006 Report Posted November 4, 2006 people coming up to you in petrol stations, people asking about the car when theyre delivering somthing to the house, people taking notice off the car when your driving down the road, OSF life and the old "i used to have one of these it was RBX 636K, do you know it"
samurai Posted November 4, 2006 Report Posted November 4, 2006 I got too much attenion! Even when the mex was in a total mess! It even got nicked to in that condition to! (i got in back the next day) The amount of people that knocked on the door! So annoying that my dad payed half for a good cover

105Speed Posted November 4, 2006 Report Posted November 4, 2006 I hope you obliged with a big blip on the throttle Mike to let them know you had something under the bonnet.... I had the asian fella at the local garage telling me I shouldnt be putting super unleaded in that old car as it will cause damage to the valves etc. I smiled and said... dont think that will be a problem... and left..... sideways

LEONMEX Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 Coming back form the last boxhill meet had a bloke in his subaru leaning over the passenger seat taking a picture of my car,he didnt notice the traffic slowing infront. Very nearly some jap scrap,but he was loving it. As he should of been i just left him for dead coming out of the Dartford tunnel
Danmex Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 Like someone said, bikers seem to respect proper cars more than most people, they were allways giving me the thumbs up or waving, the attention can be a twat sometimes though, I've been pulled twice by the coppers who blatently just wanted to have a nosey, they couldn't even be arsed lieing and making up a reason for stopping me
RFChris Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 Driving around Glasgeeee yesterday, everone stares! It's fooking ace. Gotta say, the Prefect gets a lot more attention than the Capper ever did. It'll get even more when the front wheels are lit up! Chris
Danmex Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 Driving around Glasgeeee yesterday, everone stares! Chris Yeah, but thats because they wan't to stab you, they can smell your Englishness

105Nick Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 The joys of owning an osf (especially an anglia) it never gets boring even in traffic! Shouts of "Look, there's Harry Potter!!" Yes, most I've heard that was from some rabblie in Ashford
105Nick Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 Yeah, my girlfriend always tells me how everyone stares but you forget after a while. She finds it embarassing or annoying but I love it, just cruising and seeing people check out my motor, or having people ask after it. When I pick her up from the shopping centre she works at crowds gather around it, my streets nect up from a holiday camp and my neighbour told me a group of tourists came up the road to take photos of my car while I was at work.
