Nah, it's far from a hairdresser's car.

HOWEVER, to not do the stereotype any good at all, guy near me (top bloke, in fact) owns a tanning salon and he has a yellow 111R hehe

Seriously though - it's far from such a car, but sometimes you can understand why people might like to think it is.

I'm with Kambite's on this one.
Similar situation recently, some Numb nut on a bike cycles past me as I'm getting into my car and shouts "Sh!t Car", my respone was "And why would I give a F**K what you think ?" He really was taken a back, to the point he actually stopped and asked what I'd said, so I repeated it for him.

Really dont care what others think of the car. Its mine, I like it

Haha, my neighbour was telling me how his BMW 325i was probably quicker and faster across country than my Exige "in the real world".
I just smiled and said I preferred it to my old E46 M3.(which is true)

Yes, my hair dresser did indeed have an Elise when they first came out. Yes honestly, he did, he loved it. yes

My next hd had a Porker 928GT. Nowadays my barber has a Rover 200.

thats funny.. i know everyones entitled to their opinion and that.. but sometimes they should just keep it to them selves lol.. is quite funny a few of the posts where hairdressers have actually got the car.

i dont really care as such what they think its just weird for someone to think that as i think its far from the stereo typical hairdressers car.. THE WORLD WE LIVE IN HEY! ;-)

But what is a hair dresser? How do they differ from the rest of us?

The hd i referred to with the Elise was one cool dude, had his own salon, employed people, was a terrific dresser and dancer, was bloody good looking, went clubbing all over europe, had a girlfriend to die for and was shagging for Britain. Not always with the same gorgeous girlfriend.

Didn't seem like a bad occupation to me.

The *only* thing that let him down was that he did own a Vitara before the Elise. No wonder he thought the Elise was so good.

Must be very tempting to invite him out on a nice little early morning run out and let him see how much of a struggle you'll have keeping up with him wink

But of course we're all above that sort of thing, aren't we....? wink

LOL

You know I have to say, whenever I bring up to my friends that I am leaning towards the Elise has my first Lotus before going for the Esprit, they all bust my balls saying things like the Elise is for fags. I would be embarassed to drive it, get the Esprit.

I dont get that sort of thinking. Its a Lotus. Its not like im driving a Fiero or something. I think its the whole ignorant american way of thinking, where a small car is automatically deemed gay

I had exactly the same comments from friends when I bought mine coming from a bike-engined "well 'ard" car. I posted an almost identical thread on seloc.

I think you'd probably never get that comment from anyone who'd ever been in an elise/exige. It's one of my wife's great disappointments when she first got in mine "why does it look so flash from the outside but inside there's no interior ?"

funny my friend hate the elise... Judging it before he'd even stepped in the car, I took him for a hair raising spin in it, and it changed his whole perception, he was buzzing when he got outa the car.
