I have to say that,
Since i got the vehicle re-sprayed I dont think that there has been a day that someone hasnt said anything!
Considering she is worth 5-6k I get more looks than if it was a 20k Boxter or something!

Especially as mine is de-badged, the amount of people that ask me what it is!
In the past month I have had 2 people ask if it was a Ferrari!

MUPPETS!
I love this thing!
It was the best purchase that I have ever made!

Cleaned and polished the machine (futile in Irish weather / roads) and filled it up. Elderly taxi driver turns around in the pay queue..
'You think you're really something driving that old car..don't you?'
'Well..it does do 150mph..and I've been known to pull a few women in it.'
'I think its a bright blue willy add on..'
'Maybe so but then I'm not a miserable old sod driving a Japanese diesel taxi..and I find the blue colour looks good parked next to my aeroplane.'
'Now you're boasting..'
'Nope but then I'm not past it and still able to enjoy fast cars and hump women without adjusting my pacemaker..'
'Huh.' He says and stomps out to his diesel donker.

Completely true.

Good reaction twice today!!

First off I'm driving thru Boston Spa and I hear this shouting out my window. I look round and its a 10 year old boy shouting "hey nice car". He's grinning away and his mum is giving me a big smile as well

I give them the thumbs up and give the throttle a bit of a tickle.

Half an hour later I'm walking back to the coop after visiting the shops and this couple are oohing and ahhing over the car. Could'nt make out what they were saying but I could tell he was impressing her with his coupe knowlegde and she was lapping it up. Way hay. 2 hits in one day. Not bad.

Hey Growlingbear - sure they weren't pointing at the slammed and tinted Corsa behind you?

The only comment I've had was from a female at work who liked my "special order Hyundai"

Got loads recently by people I know. Then again it's just had some decals spraying on it that I sent some pics of!

Got a few nice smiles and hair flicks from some 18yo girlies at the weekend. Not a word spoken, but the body language said it all...

I've only ever had a few nice comments on it since i've had it, the last of which was months ago

While filling up with petrol in Lakeside a kid hung out the door of his mums car & shouted 'oy nice car Mr'

You'd be amazed how many people don't know what the coupe is.

Martin (adder58) I'm not surprised by the Mike Brewer look a like comment tbh, your a dead ringer for him

One sticks out in my mind. Was in northern france - near Le Touquet what, what and all that Happened to be Maccy D's/Le MacDonalds (when in France and all that )

Five 15-18 year olds came looking round car as sat in car park. Thought here goes. They all look all round car and then in through windows. Four of them all took out their mobile phones and started taking pictures. Felt like I had a Ferrari

Other than that get five year olds pointing and saying yellow!. And of course a lot of sly sideways glances (wouldn't want to be seen looking at the car!)

Apart from when I sold mine, the last (and best) compliment I can remember was at the Nurburgring last year, when a spectating friend (forced to spectate after writing off his M3) commented that the Coupe sounded louder and better than all the bikes going round!
Milltek, thank you.

My operations executive said that "he always wanted one when he was little". He explained that he worked this out of his system when he bought his Boxster (ha ha ha)

I took the compliment and laughed. He now drives a much slower company car, also designed by Chris Bangle.

Loving it. I proibably have the best car out of all the people who work for my company. Except maybe the chief exec (new Beemer 745)
