Arrogance

[Ash MP4 12C]

Does owning a supercar make you arrogant?

I was on a track day yesterday with a Lotus, lots of fun, there was also a 12C.

I thought it may be good to chat with a fellow owner however, he turned out to be an arrogant, rude and ignorant tw@.

what is wrong with being polite, I have no issue with anyone asking questions, showing appreciation etc, but to be treated as if I was dirt, to feel like I am a pleb, honestly, he would not look at me, had a huge ego, treated me as if I did not deserve to talk to him, after all, I was in a Lotus.

Anyway, rant over.

what did he say / what did you ask him?

Are you enjoying the car?

Have you tried it on "track track" settings yet? No answer, ignored me.

Answer, "the steering is loose, I blame Lewis Hamilton, if Jenson Button.........."

And generally tried to have a conversation.

Needless to say, he still thinks I am "JUST" a Lotus Elise owner, didn't see the point in trying any further, and I was genuinely interested.

Tosser, you had to be there, still ranting so sorry everyone.

perhaps he collected his the day after the 650s was launched . . .

I don't think so, had it a 1 and a half, he did answer that question

Is this experience going to influence your Pistonheads tag? Ash MP4 12C feels wrong to me after that? It's as bad as saying Ash Tw@

I'm sure he was just on an off day. Have many friends with them and they are all good lads.

No excuse for rudeness, I am proud to own this car and happy to discuss with anyone that asks, and not answer in an aloof manner.

Why would it influence me to change my tag? Feels right to me.

just made me chuckle, no intention to offend. I think it's a great car, but probably getting to the point where it (and it's peers) are a little too good for the road.

Please accept my apologies for the juvenile post. :-)

Non taken and if he was having an off day I apologise profusely.

Just be happy you're not him. When he wakes up every day, that is the best his day will get. Because you're not the same type as him, your day will get better.

Thank you, hope I haven't offended anyone, just a rant

I feel better now.

Far from it! I let all and sundry have a sit and have their pics taken in mine! UPS delivery driver was in it the other day! I find the hardest thing of super car ownership is getting stuff done, too much talking LOL

That's the spirit, why not.

It's a privilege to be I. A position to have something like this, and it's great to share when possible.
