Mad World !
Took the S to the coast for a blast today - great conditions for the engine to breath, and the sun shone the whole time 
Worrying though - I stopped for fuel and a bloke came over as I was about to pull away. "Nice car, I'm thinking of buying one of them" he said "What size engine has it ?" (Can't have been thinking long then
)
"2 litre" I said - to which he replies "Oh well thats not big enough then - I want some thing fast - Pity, its a nice looking car ! "
There are times when I really worry about the apparent increase in the Numpty population.

In the poker world we always advise fellow sharks not to tap on the fish tank and scare the fish! As I see it this applies here - your answer is, 'yeah, but its economical and suits me' That way said numpty is not enlightened and does not buy one

When I was a competitve powerlifter (weightlifting type bloke), a bloke at work said to me "you're not big enough to be a powerlifter". I replied "I never set out to be the biggest, just the best"

When the police forensic guy came round to dust my garage (wheels stolen) I commented that I was glad they didnt steal the car. His reply angered me slightly.
"Well no offence but its not quick enough, they normally go for a Subaru or something similar" I shouldnt have but I replied, "A UK Subaru turbo has 225 bhp and this has 240, but best we dont tell the thieves eh?"
Not sure he liked that.

Some knobber asked me a similar thing the other day so I told him it had a special development small bore V16 and that it was put in this car to do secret hot weather testing.
He just nodded and said, "Really? Interesting."
