Default Comments made about the S

Had a good laugh yesterday, parked the S outside a house in Southampton, and as I walked away a teenager (with 2 mates) that was walking past the S shouted out

Quote "is that a DIESEL"

my reply was "your joking" laugh & walked in doors, only then to pray that he didn't return back to the car & do the roof or tyres, or key the paint

whats been your funniest or daftest remark made about your S ?

True story...

Outside a mates house - took it around to show him, after I had picked it up....

Couple of chavs.....

'I'm coming back for that later, we're having that'


Luckily the car was only visiting his house.

cue Carper (edit - damn )

"Worst" I've heard was while jetwashing at the local Morrisons. Car salesman (allegedly) in a Pug 206 that's been modified to put out 280 brake. I kid you not. Well, I believed him anyway...thousands wouldn't

Anyhow, after a little bit of chatting about cleaning cars and polishing and whatnot, he nods at mine and says "Nice Z4".

He really REALLY shouldn't have said that to an S owner holding a jetwasher....
