To an enthusiast yes, but to the average person on the road I don't think so.

Mazda 323F - Consistently "It's a girls car, quick let's ogle. Oooh, show us your tits love, that's it. Right there. Oh st it's a boy with long hair. He might even be gay. Yeah, that's it"

Seriously I get men in white vans leering at me on a daily basis, I think this has to be the reason as it never happened when I owned a boring saloon.

Quantum - "What's that?", "It's a Quantum" "Never heard of it". I appear to get kudos as it's genuinely alternative, weird yet not dangerous. It's the Kate Bush of cars - which is fun.

There's a chap bopping about here in a Quantum. Looks quite young, and scores kudos points from me, for all they're worth, for doing things differently from the usual Fiestas and Corsas farting about town.

As for me - I'm a 5' 8", skinny, slightly ugly and loafer/red trousers/shirt/tweed jacket wearing 36 year old.

Draw your own conclusions! smile

Edited to add: the day I brought it home my GF said, somewhat witheringly - "you look like a boy-racer with money".

My Twingo Gt



I don't know, Id say a teenage receptionist.......

Saying that, there aren't many twingo's around, plenty of people have called it a clio.

90% of the time
"I drive a Twingo"
"A what?"
"At least it's not a wind......"

White V70 T5 given plenty of room on the road people let me out and people put their seatbelts on... Must think I'm a cop....

Beat up Pug 406 everyone cuts you up or tries to barge their way past. Must think I'm poor.
