First time I took the Ghia X into college...

Eveyone noticed it as every single car in the large car park was a small hatch, so mine kinda stuck out

"Is this your Dad's car?"

"WOW! It has wood!"

"How did you afford this?"

Inside I was laughing as it cost me a whopping £900!

Some girls in work talking about my motorbike, "When are you going to let me ride on that" ;) :D

My mate has a Unos Roadster (Jap MX5). The badge is yellow, the amount of people that have come up to us and said, "nice Lotus".

Children often ask "Wheres the engine"

Do you have a habit of going around opening the front of your car to children then? Seriously I've no idea how this sort of question would ever be asked by random strangers :p

My mate is doing up his old clio with body kits etc. But he's fitted the side skirts without them being painted yet and they're still white and bodged up. His car is black and he's totally messed up the back spoiler as well. It is an embarasment to drive anywhere with him (as passenger since I don't drive).

I would hate to know what people actually say when they see it.

One of the comments I heard when we were filling up was "omg what the hell is that!" and "oh my god what does that look like!".

:o

It will look good though, if only the colours matched and the work was decent.

About the Olds:

"What is it?"

Without fail, every time it goes anywhere I get asked that. Getting fed up of having to explain what it is, what engine it has, what it cost, how slow it is despite having a reasonably big engine....:)

About the Fiat:

"Is that your [slightly mangled form of the word 'Seicento']?" - Say-sent-oh is the most popular, followed by See-sent-oh. It's not like it's all that hard to pronounce - Say-chent-oh, easy. Some people properly mangle it, and I never have worked out why.

"That thing still running? You've had it years, I thought Fiats weren't reliable." - Swiftly followed by me beating the ever-loving **** out of them.

"Bit faster than I was expecting. Thought you said this car was quite slow?" - a friend after a +100mph run along the A38 early one morning.
