....so this is why this made me smile.

I recently pulled into the Shell garage near to where my parent's live. Normally there are kids who hang out there, nothing better to do than abuse the passers by, drinking, smoking and generally causing trouble.

A few of them were standing around near to the pumps and all looked up when I pulled up.

As I got out of the car to fuel up, one of them cautiously came over.........baseball cap the right way round. ;)
I heard him clear his throat and he said to me: "You have nice car there lady."
I replied: "Thank you very much."
He then said: "I bet that goes fast."
I replied: " Just a bit yep, it is lovely to drive."
He went on and said: "That sounds awesome, looks the bollox too."
I just grinned, then went to pay for the petrol......
When I came back he shouted: "Miss, can you put ya foot down when you go so we can hear it?"
I said: "Seen as the car is warm, I will do just that."
He replied: "Cool miss, thanks!"

I obliged and put my foot down as I went past them to give them full benefit of the flat four growl and exhaust with a big grin on my face. :D
Edited to say by this time I was on the main road, not coming out of the petrol station as I had to go round and out to get to where I wanted to go. LOL :D

Can't fault them for admiring the car...

... I have lost count of the number of times I have switched off the car radio, and wound down the window for the sounds of TVR or such like!

Sounds like every second day of my life.

Would I ever sell my P1. Answer no, NEVER.

Chris.

(PS. I have to fill up every 2 days. Refuse to go below 1/4 tank and only seem to get 180 miles out of the 3/4)

I certainly get more attention in the B than in my old silver scooby. :)

It is really nice when you get that kind of respectful admiration and interest, especially off one of the "known" trouble making kids of the town. ;) :)
None of them came too close to the car, so I didn't feel uncomfortable, no bad language was used and they were very polite.................for once probably. LMAO. :D

I heard you the first time. :p ;)

Oops, double post. Sorry.

:D It happens to us all. :D

When I was that age I admired a Volvo 340 GLT. OK I'll get me goat. Sorry coat.;)

Each to their own.

Personally, I prefer sheep to goats... ;)

Yea,well sheep have more h...s

But why a girl would interested in that, i'll never know.

I often ask my self to drive off fast so I can here the sound of the flat four http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/aha.gif

Think i must be a little sad even when I see other scoobs feel as intrigued http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/hyper.gif as those youngsters, and i drive one lol..

Mick........

I got asked to do this by a bunch of kids, I pulled away gave it a bit of throttle to please them, then slowed, then the police(sitting in a side road) pulled me over and I recieved a lecture which went something like[scottish accent]; "Do you think you can control a car accelerating like this sonny, do you think your a hero showing off for your friends" - friends?! wtf:rolleyes:
I wasn't even speeding, I just accelerated hard.
The only saving grace was(when he was spouting this) he left his hand in my door shut and the door slowly swung shut onto his hand!:D
The policewoman he was with genuinly looked embarrased by his behaviour.
Then a bunch of men (in their 30's or so) walked round the cars in the road to get passed, he shouted at them to get out the road (really nastily too), and one of them answered back, quite rightly, next thing he's arguing with them and calling for backup!. I slipped off as the wagon arrived.

Well you were in the same pub as us and you did offer us a lift! ;) :p

It's good driving a car at which when seen by small boys, they stop and point.

Happened to me earlier today :D :D :D

[The lads I am on about were better behaved than you bunch of hooligans. :p

;)
Pointless me denying it! :p

:D

You'll get a reputation... ;)

I'm 24 so still feel like one of those hooligans but when i do get looks and points it's always a bit dodgy as am much more likely to drive aggressively, even if for just a few secs but all the more fun.
