I found it quite hard to get people to supervise me when I was still learning, and got comments along the lines of "There is no ******* way I'm getting in that car with you until you pass your test". :(

The old couple?

I thought that was damn cool! An old man coming over to look at a crazy Jap car. Awesome!

No, on the way home 2 guys in a rusty white transit pulled up next to me at the lights and asked me what it is. I had to tell them 3 times, and I don't think it sunk in even then.....

I then proceded to leave them a cloud of tyre smoke ;)

My focus used to get lots of attention, but the ammount of people who seem to think I have stolen my dads bike and am joyriding or something is amazing, no-one expects a 20 year old to have an R6 or similar, and I look my age (if not younger)

Mainly just funny looks and "how did you afford that" to which I say, easy they are only £7500 brand new and I have a shed for a car.

The ammount of people that seem to think sports bikes cost a fortune is funny!

"Why does it have a bonnet vent, does it have turbo?"

:(

:confused:

i think thats a reasonable assumption for joe public to make - just because renault decided they had to cut holes in the bonnet to cool the 19 and the valver :p

Three or four I get all the time, plus the odd occasional one...


"What's that???"

"You've left the engine running" (When I've parked up and the turbo timer is ticking down)

"Why did you buy a J reg? I got an 05 plate [P.O.S]..? Why do you buy old cars, they're rubbish" After the discussion coming round to the fact that 2 out of my 6 cylinders produce more output than their whole engine..."bet you get rubbish fuel economy".

The best one I've ever had though..."Yo mate, how much did them air brakes cost ya???" (Dump valve:D )
