Our car

[Tracey]

I don't know whether to be proud or scared

 

Hubby only went to get petrol last night (5 mins away), he got asked at the traffic lights about the car by 2 blokes, and then got to the garage and someone else saw the car and asked if it was for sale

 

I am scared someone is going to pinch it now

[Messenjah]

if the two blokes wer ein a red shogun i would suggest moving the car

[Tracey]

Thanks for the warning

 

One was in a white van and the other 2 a BMW

 

The one in the white van was paying a lot of interest, was quite unnerving

do you have anywhere else you can leave it for a few days?

The cars will always attract a lot of attention anyway but I know what you mean about making you nervous. How many times at a petrol station have you been approached by people who "used to have one of those" or asking "bet that's worth a bit now".

[lotusless]

dont let anyone follow you even if you have to go round

the block 10 times!! i hope they were just genuine osf

lovers. stay alert m8

[Tracey]

Yep Hubby kept an eye to make sure no-one was following him

 

It's pretty safe where it is now

[antz]

i had it last night from a BMW driver. shouted across the garage forecourt 'DONT SEE MANY LIKE THAT NOW A DAYS! WELL DONE!'

 

gotta love the interest they get

I actually saw a blue RS2000 and a white Mk1 the other day when going for a drive in the Capri and decided to stop in for a chat and say hello, maybe have a wee nosey at each others cars. The people at the house though didn't own it, and I was worried that I looked suspicious. There are plenty of people out there though with a genuine interest. Don't be afraid of your own shadow.

This is true... There's probably a balance here between being cautious and being worried... I've normally found pikey and thieves faces give them away...

People round here wouldn't know a classic Ford if it bit them in the arse. Well, apart from a couple of old folks in my road. No-one takes a blind bit of interest in mine, infact when i'm broken down, I just get horns and abuse People can be stuck so far up their own arses. New cars don't break down do they???

 

I just have to worry about joy-riders that will steal it then burn it out
