spursmaddave Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) What's so annoying getting comments about your car good or bad? It means people are looking at it Sent from the golf club...

OV53 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Pretty annoying that a kid in a sports car doesn't know what size engine is in a 350z. The snaking away was 100% legit, you don't have to be racing to do it you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) The only bad comment I've received so far is that it's apparently a 'hairdressers car'. Apart from that it's been all good I had a few comments like that from work mates before they actually saw the car and then when they did they suddenly changed their tune. To me a hairdressers car has always been something convertible with not much go. Like a KA convertible, MX5 or Porsche Boxster?! Basically cars which are convertible and don't have enough power to make them true performance cars. Although in saying that the MX5 isn't a bad car nor the Porsche. I had that big time when I got mine from one of my mates - he was constantly ribbing me about the zed being a hair dressers car and was totally amazed that I would buy a Nissan when I could have got a Porsche Boxster for half the money. Amazingly he didnt feel that the Boxster was a hairdressers car however. I did loose track in the end of the positive comments the zed got. Everyone from kids shouting out "nice car mister" as I drove past, through to complete strangers complimenting me on it as I popped into the local corner shop to get some milk. Garages/Mechanics loved it. I remember going to the local auto parts place, coming out to find the owner of the shop standing there staring at my car before telling me how nice it was and how rare they are as he doesnt see many of them.

Jetpilot Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Going back to the squashed beetle. Surely that is the scirrocco? or is that a squashed Golf? I just don't see it. but yeah, the comment smacks of jealousy 911 is a squashed Beetle, Scirrocco is a golf in a petty coat, a pretty petty coat though I would say Nissan/Vauxhall is a fair comparison really... Sent from the golf club... You seem to have a bit of a thing for Vauxhalls, why dont you buy one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I don't know what the engine size of a Corsa VXR is. Or a current BMW 328. No reason the kid should've known really, might've been nice to inform him rather than boot it away when he was showing some interest.

GIXXERUK Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Pulled up at the lights next to a Corsa VXR who was giving it the nails ahead of me and asked if it was standard, to which he replied "yeah it's still under warranty, what's in that a 2 litre?", to which I replied "yeah mate right on the money!" Before pressing the loud pedal a bit too much before releasing the clutch and snaked the car away........I obviously accidentally got the pedals mixed up :o The sweetest sounding 2.0 I've ever heard, is probably what he thought, well probably not, but maybe! He probably thought that's not a standard 2 litre ! He must have twin carbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the majority of the kids on the car scene round here who drive those types of cars know their stuff, turns out this guy wasn't one of them.

OV53 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I like to think that folk that buy sports cars are petrol heads and take an interest in all cars, like me, but it seems that the new breed of kids just buy a car "cos it gans git fast hew!"

Linus27 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 It could always be worse, it could had been mistaken for a Porsche Boxster. We need to think of the positives ok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from the golf club... what's wrong?... errr, it's a vauxhall? nope its a holden Finally someone appreciates the sarcasm ! Datsun sorry Nissan arguably have a greater racing pedigree but they produce some terrible cars and a few very nice ones, pretty much like Vauxhall. I don't see that it is possible to have a Zed and be a badge snob, the whole point of a Zed is that it is a V6 sports coupe that is affordable to the 'common man' as said very eloquently by Chromatic. I loved my Zed but I never looked down at people who did not 'get it' I had comments at work good and bad and took both with similar grace, I never once felt the need to floor it at the lights and snake away to prove what was under my bonnet.
