In my Tuscan anything over about 30 mins driving gets:

"I really hate this car"

Why don't you just sell the bl00dy thing as it'll just break down again; you'll be in a foul mood for days, you'll end-up spending loads more money on it, and you'll be stuck in that garage again.

scratchchin good advice I should have heeded many times.

"when are you selling it" This is not a question, it is a statement.

"I'm not going all the way to Scotland in that"

"don't come down here in that, you'll upset my neighbours"

"why have you taken the radio out?"

Wow! How many engines has that car got Daddy?

Overheard as I passed a small boy and his father stood at the side of the road.

To be fair to 'er in doors' when are you going to buy another? Her favourite is the Griff.

Ohhh should have added the worst - in a filling station, a woman comes across and says 'that is probably the ugliest car I've ever seen' - referring to my Tasmin 280i+2 at the time.

Random woman in a petrol station when I had the cerbera.

'Look at your car, I bet you have a tiny cock'

'Yes it is' was my reply. Shut the silly slag up.

According to the Mrs, my Griff looks like something out the war and is apparently made out of paper masha or something.

O ye and allegedly i spend every waking minute in the garage with the stupid thing.

"Is that your car? Is that your f£5king car? No way. Really, is that you f£5king car? That is amazing. It's like the f£5king bat mobile"

That was my, ahem, boss' first response the first time I took the Tuscan into work! I wasn't quite sure what to make of it!

Good reply. Honesty is usually the best policy.

Or, maybe she thought you kept Bantham chickens.

A tiny cock maybe, but it takes big hairy balls to drive a Cerbera.

Geniune conversation, took place about 1/2 hour ago!

Missus - "I've just decided I don't want to try and drive your new TVR anymore. The windscreen's too small (Cerb) and I wont be able to see out"

Me

"Maybe you could use the boy's booster seat if that would help"
