lol smile I was driving through town on my way home from work and pulled up at a busy junction to turn left ... This brand new white Porsche GT3 came past and stopped directly in front of me due to the traffic. Anyway, this woman walks by with 3 8-11 year olds, all of them spot my car and the Porsche and then surprisingly shout "Mummy, I want a Lotus!" repeatedly, again and again! hehe

I've only ever had positive feedback from Kid's regarding my Elise's, funny enough thou Women other than Mrs Boggy don't seem to like it?

Haha funniest kid comment I've had:

Kid 1 - Wow look at that, thats an awesome car
Kid 2 - Nah, that sucks, it doesn't have hydraulics (hydraulic suspension, lowrider style)

Almost got out and slapped Kid 2 upside the head...

Driving through Dartmouth on Thursday and I had stopped at a junction when a little kid with his mum walks past and I hear the following.

Kid: mummy do you like that car...
Kid: do you mummy do you like it..
Kid: Cause I LOVE it.

Had me in stitches

Driving in London down A13, stopped at lights, some ?Albanian guy starts washing my windscreen even though I told him not to. Then instead of moving to other motors, he comes to my window and asks where in Italy I bought it from, and how much it cost? Told him I bought it in Norwich (he didn't have a clue where that was). When I gave hime some change, he refused saying my car was "too beautiful."

Took my mates 14yr old out for a 5 min blat which ended up being an hour through country lanes with us both howling and grinning. When he got back he looked at me and I said 'well, how's that?' and all he could manage was 'me heads buzzin'' - he sprinted up the garden shouting 'Dad, Dad, we've got to get one of those!'. (my mate looked at me mouthing something which I'm not sure I understood...)
