Hi everyone,

just thought i'd put up a quick post about something that happened over the weekend.

I was pulling into a space in Tesco's on saturday and when i got out, a complete stranger came up to me and told me what a lovely car it was and how sporty it looked. They asked loads of questions about performance and handling and i hope i sent them away looking to trade in for a Puma!

Sad i know but it really made my day!

A couple of days before that i bumped into some old friends i hadn't seen for years and they all said 'how come you drive such a nice car??'

Not sure if they meant that nice or not but it put a smile on face!

Think my mum is looking to buy a Puma after her 51 plate Renault laguna has spent another week in the garage and cost her another Å“700 to fix!

EEK!

I went to a sea food disco at the weekend - I pulled a mussel..

I get lots of compliments too, but a friend of a friend once sniffed and went

'It's OK for a tart's car!'

I beat him up, and then sent him off looking for a Vauxhall ewww nasty car!

Why won't it let me write the model of Vauxhall that we all know and hate? You know, it starts with a 'T'

come up and see me...make me smile :wink:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO -What a Ride!:D

OH NO - the Crossfire is a hugely horrid piece of sceptic engineering that should be driven into a large hole and left there for all eternity

along with the ewww nasty car

and the new mini, beetle most ferrari's and the new Golf

What you don't know.
Won't leave a scar.
What you don't know.
Hasn't killed you so far.
But you don't know.
Just who you are.
Still I just give you something to talk about.
What you don't know.

I get lots of gestures from other drivers.

At least I THINK they're compliments....

I get a few comments.

Came out of a petrol station shop to find 6 lads looking over it trying to see how the "body kit" fitted

Oi, My old Dad picks up his brand new Golf on Saturday! Agree about the crossfire though. YOu know you are in trouble when you are just putting a new body on an old car and the old car is the hairdressers favourite original SLK!
