Strange comments from people whilst in TVR
Discussion
Has anyone had any really weird comments from people while out in your TIV? As I was driving home yesterday with the roof off on my Chim, I stopped at a junction just as a bunch of 7-8 year olds were walking by. One of them shouted over to me "I really respect you". I told my wife later and she thought it was hilarious.
Sat next to the car on the hard shoulder of the m42, waiting for the rac with a can of petrol OOps... ran out in a traffic jam...
knackered transit drives past and the passenger shouts "WANKER" fine
at least im a w*nker with a tvr rather than a w*nker with a transit ( erm actually i have a transit as well)

I had a little kid shout "Look daddy, racing car!" when I drove past him the other day - made me smile.
Had three lads tinkering under the bonnet of their sh!tmobile in a supermarket car park say "Daddy's car!" as I drove past. Not that they were jealous or anything (I've had this more than once
)

Truth be told, most people just stop, stare and gawp. But of my Chimaera, I have heard:
"You've got the wickedest car in the world mate" (20-something bloke at Newquay's "Run to the Sun" weekend. I was actually there on a Stag Do, not to embarrass the Bean-canned Nova brigade (although I did)).
"Aston Martins are cool" (Dutch girl in Petrol Station, Utrecht, to which I said, "TVR are cooler")
"Rev it up, rev it up, rev it up" (Four black yoofs in a 1.6L Sierra, Birmingham. Two old builder blokes in a Transit. And many others)
"If only the driver was as sexy as the car". (Two blonde birds in an MX5, Birmingham)
But has anyone showed a bit of TVR snobbery to other road users? I'm not just talking about the spoken word: You know what I mean: you see two blokes in an MGF/MX5 etc. Don't you just have to drop a cog and blast past? I said to two likely lads in an MGF at traffic lights in Birmingham last week: "So lads, do you have your own salon and how long have you been in the hairdressing game?" They shrank back in their seats.
