I pretended I didn't see her doing this and carried on driving before someone claimed she was young and I was trying it on. There is no better compliment than that in my books.

still sleeping trying to go back to that dream.
There was another instance a very long time ago and not in the S, nearly 10 years ago or so, I was sitting in the passenger seat in my bro-in-law's car and driving to heathrow. A car with four women overtook us and when ahead the two girls in the rear turned around to face us and lifted their t-shirts up. Needless to say my b-i-l missed the exit off the M40 for the airport and we had to go to the next junction and come back. Those were the days.

Always a thrill to get verbal (and visual displays it seems) appreciation from under 18year olds.
Being a little older than many here I take a slightly different view. If my car makes a youngster a little happier even for a second then that is great. If it makes them aspire to more from life AND try to work to get it rather than nick it then that is even better.
If I was out looking for calls of "cor" etc from kids then a) I would have a TT or an escort with fins and b) I would spend more time driving in Essex - particularly Southend. (step back and wait for the 'you anti Essexist b@@@@@d' cries).
Had my wheels aligned last week at a place where there was an Escort on their rolling road. Young ~20 year old - had spent >

Mainly kids that have said it to me.
Though once a guy in an E type said it to me! We returned the compliment back to him
I have to say when I come to sell the S2000(it is likely I will get something much cheaper and buy a house) I will really miss driving something SPECIAL!
I drove around last night(Friday) round the tarty area of town with the roof down, lots of talent out and lots of heads turned too. I thought to myself, damn Im seriously going to miss this when I have to let it go

One I seem to get A LOT (due to having a fast colour) Is kids shouting stepping on to the road and giving me the thumbs up!
Maybe they are just trying to hitch a lift out of whichever tiny scottish hell hole they live in, but gratifying none the less. (unless you have a MCB S2000, in which case all you get is abuse, according to Euan, or a Silverstone, in which case all you get is indifference)
