3 w@n^%rs and a wide swap!!!

[Piersman2]

Wife swap in title, not wide swap!!! FFS

So, after much fettling, this week I've been using the Boxster for the last 3 days.

The score so far is 3 yells of "Porsche wker" and one fella in traffic hollering at me to ask if he could swap cars... at his wife's behest. They were lovely , both sat there with the kids in the back of their car giving the thumbs up and laughing away.

I don't remember my brand new, yellow one back in 2001 ever getting this much attention in the 2 years I had it.

Is it the silver colour, or are the "Porsche wker" shouters just more prevalent in the last 10 years or so?

I just gave them a cheery wave and carried on.

Thinking about it... maybe the name calling is nothing much to do with the car, but everything to do with me just looking like a wker!

The question surely must be - were you actually having a wafty crank whilst driving?
If you were, then they had a point no?

Where were you driving?

Just the 2001 S that i bought last November. I had one back in the day and fancied another as a 'toy' seeing as they're now so cheap.

It's bright silver, now with a blue hood, and 911 18" alloys of some description.

The OH didn't hear the hollering on the way home last night, she was trying not to be sick as I had some 'fun' around a few roundabouts, but reckons she'd have shouted back 'Walk wkers!' if she'd heard them.

I'm keeping that for the next time! Nothing like a bit of The Inbetweeners humour to diffuse things!

Now have a Boxster and 996. One day got carved up in the Elise with roof off. Held my hands up in exasperation. No fingers et al. Guy jumped out of his car and called me a "Bucking Banker". Nowt to do with my job............but how could he surmise that?
