Pulling OAP' s !!

[piooly]

Went on a trip out to Tesco last night to get some essential bits, roof off ofcouse. Anyway, when getting back into the car a what can only be decribed as and an OAP woman 60 +, stopped me to say what a fantastic looking and great sounding car I had ! I couldn't believe it.

Kids and well normal people say that a fair bit but OAP's !!!!!!!!!!

Oi! Im nearly an OAP. What are you saying? Us old people can't appreciate a good car.

This keeps happenning to me! On many occasions I have had pensioners stop in their tracks and turn round to watch me go past... Even on zimmer frames! They always look exited and slightly confused. Bless 'em.

I had exactly the same. The old dear even new what car it was.

Strange one the other day though... Driving through Wimbledon and a white van man coming the other way felt it neccesary to wind his window down and shout 'your car is f***ing sh!t'

Nice.

I find the 12v power socket is perfect for charging a taser which in turn is perfect for dealing with just such situations!

People in Grey cars always think of such tame ideas. Whats wrong with a good Flash bang, or possibly a true Stun grenade

The thought had crossed my mind. I took it as a compliment in the end.

One of the nices blokes you will ever meet at a trackday is a chap called Russ who in deference to his age calls himself zimmerman (after the frames). He and his wife have an S2 elise and have as much fun as anyone.

Respect to anyone who maintains enthusiasm regardless of age.

I got the "coffee bean shake" and a mouthed "ct" from an obese, sweating, red faced middle aged bloke in a poorly fitting £59.99 suit and grey plastic shoes carrying a LIDL's plastic bag this morning, as he walked across the road in front of me on a zebra crossing (me stationary.....)

I took it as a compliment too. How much did he WANT to be sat where I am. Made me appreciate how lucky I am, to be honest.

C0ck.
