Pingu2 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 strange - most people dont bat an eyelid at a mere Z in london.. now an Enzo would be a different matter! (saw one filling up at the garage the other day!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z Boy Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I had the same problem there too, kept getting people shouting at me from their windows asking me what it was. Some guy in a white van asked me if it was an MG and when I said no he called me a ****er and drove off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypk Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 few too many opportunities to scratch the body or alloys in london for me, some of the roads are a nightmare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomer816 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Would be harsh with that clutch up in town. Talking of people stopping and staring, was up in Birmingham the other day and what should cruise down Broad street at lunch time... A gleaming white Bugatti Veyron. Would have got a pic but was navigating for someone at the time. quite a young guy driving it too... not that im bitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
althediv Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetZed Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I had a couple of kids taking photos of mine on their mobiles the other day when it was parked outside. Didn't change my missus' opinion of the car though just made her think that the kids are going to grow up to be 'car geeks' like me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indyzed Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 There's a significant amount of poorer people in the county I live in. It's pretty much the business owners and management and then the minimum wage workers on the other side. I get a lot of animosity towards my Z. I wouldn't dare leave it alone at the mall or Wal-Mart. It would be keyed for sure. The socialist liberals have used the class envy card quite handily this election year and everyone is all whipped up. My town made national news today as the white hot point of unemployment. We topped the nation in unemployment. On second thought maybe I should garage the Z and buy me a proper beater. I'm thinking a Honda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
