Funny what gets comments. Just before I got the S2k in december I was signing for a delivery, the driver commented on both my sons cars a R5 campus and an austin metro, didn't bat an eyelid at my Porsche 924 which was also on the drive

The usual comments are along the lines of 'Ooh look, it's the Stig!' Yes, I'm wearing a white helmet, but it's not a Simpson Diamondback, and I'm not wearing a race suit. The kids always point though
The best one I had was from two Police officers who were asking all about the Westfield. They were really cool about it all and then challenged me to a race in their Diesel Focus!!

I was in a service station in Belgium way back when a testarossa pulled in. Very quickly a crowd of about 20 people gathered round it. Suddenly an F40 came in. Never seen a group of people move so quickly away from a Ferrari.

Less of a story, more of a rant
Last night I went to get petrol at peak time (terrible idea I know)
Pick what is clearly the shortest queue and with the nozzle on the right side (left, ahh so much humour)
The two cars at the pumps just sat there, and sat there, turns out the people had decided a major shop was in order (one took half an hour =[)
Oh and to top it off the women in front reversed into me YAY
No damage though =]

I bought VW beetle from a local dealer and as they did not sell petrol I called in to one that did. I could not find the filler cap, nor could the attendant or the small audience that had gathered. So after trying to explain my way out of the embarrassing situation I took it back to where I had bought it. They did not know either so they rang a VW garage to ask.
Find and pull the lever marked "bonnet" its under there! Very clever! At least Honda give you a fighting chance!
That was in 1968 and One Pound would buy 3.5 gallons.
