The looks and stares, but not the scruffy 14-15 yr old girls at a pedestrian crossing the otherday, shouting "NICE CAR MATE!, GIVE US A RIDE."

Huge levels of grip round corners, superb overtaking potential and the exhaust note (when I can hear it over the "bung out" crew).

I love this one :
When a crowd has gathered around your car, with all the WOW's an WAW's and heavy talking about motorsport and racing and so, just interfere and join the pub-talk. Then suddenly unlock the car with a beep, start it and drive off.
You must see the faces THEN !!!

Creepy,

PS : I also love the flat four at 6.5k revs in a tunnel, other drivers will go out of the way before you even flash...

I'll second that coming up to a roundabout with a new passenger floor it in 2nd, hold on, and watch thier jaws drop as the scooby corners with ridiculous amounts of grip.
