What do you drive? How much attention?
Discussion
Have a GR Yaris now not too much attention but when it has has all been good.
A guy in a GT2 RS asked me at the petrol station how long I’ve had it and what’s it like
Previously had a few more expensive cars but nothing that stands out - particularly SW of london

Ghibli S most people don’t know what it is, or have read the reviews, or assume it’s a diesel and ignore it, on the other hand about once a fortnight I get people urging it to be revved or when it’s clean, taking photos and looking inside.
I’ve been drinking for over 30 years and in all honesty the one car that shocked me was when my Volvo V90 was stil in its ‘new reg’ the nutters Volvo’s attract is unreal and I had more people wanting to talk about that car than any other. I got the impression it was the dream car of middle aged security guard types.
Little kids loved my MX5, my pals MR2 was much the same, must be the scale.

Tell me it was predictive texting?
Camaro gets attention everywhere. I used it for the school run for a few weeks when I was between-dailies, loads of traffic on that journey so stood still a lot and felt like a goldfish in a bowl. Daughter said lots of people were talking about it in school wondering who’s it was. She didn’t say it was hers 
Aston Vantage appears get looks from those who know, but otherwise pretty anonymous.

My ah sprite. Got it last June, and it was actually hard to adjust to the attention it gets!. Lots of people look, and I've had lots stop to say nice car, or similar.
With the weber carb, it's a fairly noisy thing so i guess that draws more attention still.
I had a J reg 1971 back in the 80s, I thought they stopped making them in 1971?
P is a bit later..
Or some interesting history, late registered etc?
Nice car btw

I’d be the person giving attention
k mk2 MR2 and it always turned heads
I bought a Merc CL last year and honestly, it gets as little attention as my old S Class did. People really don't seem to bat an eyelid at it, which I think is quite nice.
The only person who's commented on it, come to think of it was a kid from the local school who said how nice it was as I was washing it one afternoon.
I picked this up late last year and had a few conversations about Saab in general but I suspect no one will really care much.
Oddly the only car I've had people make a point of talking about is a modified VW Lupo I had back in 2008/9.
