oi how much??

[node]

Last night i was waiting at a red light with a friend of mine in the car and some guy pulls up next to me and shouts (a lot louder than necessary) 'oi much you pay for your car, i know 'bout cars, how much?' Im sorry but i found him rude so i said 'i paid a lot'. He asked me again and i gave the same answer then he turned into a 5yr old and pulled faces and started swearing to himself. I mean FFS go and have a look at these cars online when you get home and find out for yourself. I dont mind telling people how much i got it for over a sensible conversation but theres no need to get worked up just because i didnt tell u what u wanted to know.

Was i wrong to act like this? this must have happened to some of you guys in the past, anyone got any stories to tell?

Has happened a few times. It does make you unconfortable (but for no real reason as, people who are wallfloweres don't drive Nobles!)). I usually tell them the truth straight off - then its over with.

'Dunno, I won it in a raffle' usually does the trick.

You could have said "More than you could afford".

I tell them hard work and financial diligence and a well healed granny

I used to say "nothing, just stolen in"

Worked everytime.

Haha, the local scrap collector popped his head into our new place last week, he commented that he liked my Lotus. :-)

its usually children that ask those questions

Richard Hammon said a good sports car should make you feel like a small boy

so take it as a compliment the guy was excited about the car

Err...... Why?

Says Mr 2 BMW and 1 Noble owner.

FFS if you are going to make generalisations, then why not Noble Owner's are just plain cheapskates that know they really should have spent £200k on a car that 'goes' as good as this one does

But as Hamster is as "small" as he looks, that figures

I had a guy at the lights get out of his car to ask me what it was. I felt like asking him to read the badge that he had been squinting at for the previous minute, but when I told him 'Noble' he said, 'Yeah, yeah, I thought that's what it was...'.

Yup.

Joust used to have the anwers to the (unasked) questions along the bottom of his number plate (but they still asked!)
