Ello,

Just bought an 09 plate formula red GT s2000. Best car I have ever owned and I think I will keep this beast for many years to come. Its just so fun!!

The lads in work (an engineering company) have been taking the mick calling me a hairdresser and "thats a hairdressers car" etc. Its doing my head in!!!!!!

I find myself constantly explaining to people that hairdressers dont drive cars that go to 9k rpm and have an awesome engine sound. There really are so many plebs out there who think its the same as an MX5 etc. So, now, at every opporunity at traffic lights I totally nail my car to prove to all concerned that this is no ordinary beast, it is no hairdressers car and certaintly not a weak powered MX5.

There has been a few instances were people wind their windows down to to speak to me when I have stopped. Asking about if its good to drive, what is it, i like your car etc. I'm loving the football player esque attention!

Have you found the curling tongue secret compartment yet?

 

Passenger window stuck down yet?

 

I have zero problems with the car so far (only drove it 600 miles), and would expect nothing major from a Jap car!

Hmm I have found a compartment which you can open when the vertical storage place inbetween the seats is opened! If thats the one!

 

Let them keep thinking that. You can take pleasure from the thought that your enjoyment is something that is known only to discerning few.

 

Their ignorance is not important. You know that the car is anything but.

I just go along with those that say 'It's a hairdressers car'. I can't be arsed to explain it to them. People tend to change their mind once they've been out with me in it after a few miles. Most are speechless afterwards

 

1/ Find the main protaganist
2/ Take him out for a drive
3/ Dawdle along.
4/ When appropriate - floor it, brake like the devil, etc etc


5/ Stop before your passenger cacks his pants.

 

Is the car even run in yet? I'd be careful with vtecing at such an early stage.

 

As yes.... good point LG

I didn't clock the OP's age.

 

At 600 miles on the odometer, probably not the best idea!

Give it a few thousand miles and an oil change before unleashing the revs

EDIT

As LG says (sorry, pressed reply then buggered off )
