It's happened to me for the first time - somebody came up to me in a pay & display just now just to say "Nice car!".

I've never had that before - COOL!

Hey Alex!

I know how you feel!

I took one of my aunts for a drive who has never been in a convertible let alone a sports car - anyway, I was driving her back and a guy waved at me to get my attention only to say " wow - that is a sweet looking car!" - My aunt was really surprised and so was I - Just gave him the thumbs up!

Oh and on Saturday - I was polishing the car - had the garage door open - a few guys were walking past and didn't see me " now that is what I call fat/phat"

I have had several folks on sports bikes give me the 'thumbs-up' - quite a compliment from people riding such quick machinery

Left the roof down today when i was parked in B&Q car park, when i got back a bloke was staring into the car. As I got in the car he apologized and told me he was just admiring it and did i know black cars are hard to keep clean

Drove into work this morning with roof down, autoglym finish gleaming, shades on etc. etc........bunch of school kids actually applauded me as I drove past!. Love it!. Here's hoping for a few more days like today (although forecast for next few days does not look promising!).

Another reason not to spend another 16K on a Boxster is you don

Remember - only a very small fraction of those that are thinking this will actually say it!

Last Friday I was returning from a lunch break, top down, in slow traffic. As I passed 3 10 year old boys from school walking along the pavement once pointed and yelled out "Cor - look at that f*cking lovely car !!"
From 10 yr olds ! Disgraceful !
Gave them a thumbs up and a grin, though !

Boyf came to pick me up from work over the weekend, and i spied one of my colleagues staring at the car when i got in. Then on Monday, he comes up to me and says, "my god, you have such a flash car. What is it? a Ferrari???"

At least he didn't say Miata!

Got a thumbs up and "great choice" from a motorcyclist at the lights last night. I think he had a bright yellow Honda CBR?
