I've been driving mine in London since 2006 and it get's the same reaction. Brilliant. HOWEVER,,,,, I also drove it through France to Spain, and noticed the French didn't give a monkeys, but the Spanish...
They would literally pull over if they were ahead of me in trafic to get a better view. I had my photo taken while driving at least twice (not by the Rozzers), and because of this my missus' perception of the car also changed.
Now she doesn't look at it like a big boy's toy but a beautiful motor car.
I'm trying to convince her it's both.
