Very much so.

That is an extraordinary photo. I can smell the social deprivation from the kebab shop from here. Now, serious question, the star on the back, replica vinyl or original Chinese army invasion grade issue?

You know I only use original Chinese stuff, DMN!

Always a dream car of mine

Chunj, a question if I may.....

How does it feel to have mere mortals asking you questions on the internets, I imagine it must all be 'quite special'.

Thanks for sharing, its been a privilege.

It's cutting into my time. I'm trying to eat a microwaved korma here...!

However, i understand that ordinary people share my interests and it's only charitable to pass on my knowledge.

Have you ever considered adding a Swift Sport to your fleet? Obviously they're not the same as an Ignis and don't posses the original's cachet, but some do say they're a better car to pilot being devoid of the skittish rear end.

You're just not getting it! The skittish rear end is what makes the experience so cerebral!

Thank you. Thank you so much. I hope you don't mind me asking a question, if I may, and it OK with you; What's the general public's reaction to the car? I waved at you on the M8 once but you flicked me the V's (you ARE a Chinese lady with fashionable facial hair, right)?

It's a reasonably accurate description...

Often when I drive past special schools they simply point and stare. I'm not sure if they are in awe or they are just the pointy starey kids.

Chunj....if I may be so bold as to use your first name.

Will you be taking your car on the 11th anniversary pan European Formule 1 hotel tour for Ignis Sports ?

I'm afraid it clashes with my weekend at the Blackpool travelodge.

Don't be so ridiculous, the entire premise of those type of gatherings of self righteous buffoons is an affront to the man.

He'll be eating a deep fried mars bar and sleeping rough in the park to prove a point.

That's a fairly accurate description of the Blackpool travelodge!

I would consider it an honour to take your place then.

So I modified it with a magic tree.

I did toy with this idea myself, however there were two reasons I didn't:

1. A concern regarding the manufacturer's warranty
2. Insurance implications - increased premiums

I'd very much value your input on the above concerns, in particular my worries regarding insurance,how did you get over this, or did you not declare the 'Magic Tree'.

PS: what scent is your 'Magic Tree', it's important us Ignis owners stick together.

Don't forget #3 - weight distribution.

I made sure I declared it. If the insurance company noticed the magic tree on any of the television shows that are made about the Ignis I may find myself in trouble.

It altered the premium significantly, but better safe than sorry.

I chose Vanillaroma for two reasons. 1) it smells both of vanilla and Romanian gypsies, and 2) it was the only one they had in B and M. (Either that or a pink furry Ugg boot).

1. 3- I usually go for a ste before I get in the car.

My Ignis is an icon on my mobile phone.

The name Ignisguy was already taken, wasn't it?

I'm not surprised!

I shouldn't, but
