windsor Posted August 23, 2014 Report Posted August 23, 2014 Was asked twice yesterday on two seperate ocasions two seperate locations ,iff i'd mind if they took some pics of my mk1,plus a few thumbs up and truckers blasting there horns.
skeeter Posted August 23, 2014 Report Posted August 23, 2014 I get that in both of my cars too. At first it was a little disconcerting but now I quite enjoy it. It never fails to amaze me how knowledgeable people are, they generally know more about my cars than I do. Makes me smile when I see people stuck in their euro boxes looking at me and smiling, makes me wonder why more people don't "break out" and drive something more interesting. S 1
seaneylad Posted August 23, 2014 Report Posted August 23, 2014 Yeah everytime your out, someone will stop and chat, or beep thumbs up etc mainly getting petrol is when the public pounce for a chat

Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted September 8, 2014 Moderator Report Posted September 8, 2014 Having had my cars for decades I noticed a clear evolution in what people said. There was a long period of "when are you going to get rid of that old sh*tbox and buy something new and decent". Then it slowly morphed into, "oh you dont see many of those on the road these days". Then it progressed to "Wow is great to see one on the road, new cars have no character at all". Trends do go round in cycles but no matter how long I wait my dress sense never does unfortunately. 3

windsor Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Posted September 8, 2014 Should have taken his number and got in touch with his company. company's dont take kindly to that type of behaviour.
