Is it just me?

Do you get sly/admiring looks from other drivers?
People pointing (normally only seen in the rear view mirror)?
WOW comments if you give somebody a lift?
Cars moving out of the way suddenly when they see you are behind them?
Friends/neighbours asking to have a look?


Maybe it's just me and a bit of 'new car' syndrome but people do seem to notice. :cool:


All the time... love it :smiley:

People pointing (normally only seen in the rear view mirror)? lads standing outside the building next to my office last friday, about 5 of them all watched me get in my car.  either they are gay or they were loving the car  :laugh:
I'd be scared sh1+less that they would want to rob my keys. 5 on 1 aren't good odds.
If it was 5 hot looking girls on the other hand..... actually that's even worse cos my legs would probably wobble 5 times as much as normal, at least with a fight with 5 guys adrenaline would help me throw a punch or 2

Now I have mine, I can reply in this thread.

The admiration really is in full force. Head turner, stares from other motorists. Even had one lad point to it tonight.

Makes me feel good, but also makes me even more paranoid that something might happen to it.

yes i remember back in may when i first had mine people would stop dead in their tracks turn their whole bodies, point, stare and sometimes shout, it was like i came from outer space. I sold the car 2 months ago and now starting to miss it  :cry:
GTI manual PP, now sold  :-(
