GoralGT Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 On Wednesday I was changing tyres at HiQ. At some point police car arrived with flat tyre a guy and nice female officer. When the guys changed the tyres she just started chatting with me it's really nice car needs to give lotd of pleasure from driving etc. She was very positive and nice. It was one of my first chats with Police without getting a ticket:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Just yesterday we parked the roadster at the station and while waiting for the train a couple of women, in their 40's by the look of it, were looking over it. One of them remarked "I think its a BMW" Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Pulled over this morning to nip into the bakers, porshce cayman s behind me slowed so I could open my door into the road, got out and noticed the rather attractive female passenger eyeing up my car - as it cruised by she smiled at me and waved I just smiled and waved back, no idea who it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcotix Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I had two incidents within the space of a minute last weekend! I was looking for parking in a car park and drove past a family and boy shouted "Nice car!" and then litterally a few seconds later an old man walking past, slowed right down to check the badge on front of the car ... the funny thing was I could see him still standing there looking as I drove off ...

rabbitstew Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Three pikeys in a white van rolled down their window to shout "****er" at me on the way home. Glad its not just me who gets abuse. Ive had someone shout "gaylord" at me in a supermarket carpark, a morbidly obese woman who was staggering across a busy main road rather than use the crossing mouthed "tw@t" at me as I stopped to let her waddle past and some scruffy dole dossing looking chav shouting "w@nker" after me as I drove into the street I work on. Not had any abuse for a few weeks now though and predominantly the positive comments by far outway the number of bad instances from jealous people.

Bobbyheinz Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Having only had my Zed since yesterday evening I can already say it's had a few reactions Just parking outside my house and the local school bus had just got back…a group of kids walked past and stopped and stared Also had a filthy look from a woman at a petrol station and just a few folk looking back as I drive past Didn't buy it for attention but certainly is a bonus haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Popped over to Maccy D's for a brekkie wrap after a nightshift and some guys in a delivery car said "Nuce car mate" to which I thanked them. Last week while in Germany, Frankfurt airport area, I was waiting for the GF to come out of the Lufthansa building, lots of people having a look. On a autobahn services, parked up to squeeze the lemon, GF stayed in the car. Got back from the toilets, annoyed GF said "Are those guys taking pics of Zoey?" (Zoey is our pet name for the Zed) I just said "Ah yes, that's what I built her for" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds2000 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Had a few looks, the first was people thinking me and my girlfriend were probably a little balmy, it was day 1 of getting her and driving back so were on a natural high anyway, we had the iPod and BOSE really loud and were singing along like two idiots, a few people went passed laughing. I've also had alot of passengers and little kids waving at us so they've always had a wave back. I do love this car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Doesn't always work mind you. I had been giving Precious a good polish for a couple of hours to make her even shinier for the start of the year.. A little scrote with one of those mini step scooters - who'd been tearing down our hill with his mates, asked me about the neighbour's motorbike parked a bit further down: Kid "Excuse me - is that your bike?" Me "No, it's the bloke next door's" Kid "Can you bang on his door and tell him its a nice bike?" (why couldn't he bang on the door to tell him..) Me Not a blimin word about Precious! Tut. Yoof of today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panman Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 It's defo a convertible thing. Driving the boxster really wasnt plesent sometimes due to the abuse. Ended up always taking bendy back roads which agreed was more fun but spanked fuel. Around our way the Zed is not something you see everyday so the response and reactions are great. Took me 4 hours last weekend just getting through washing him due to people talking to me about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
