Had my car at Didsbury car show yesterday . . . normally I don't stay nearby, but I did yesterday and could hear some of the reactions. They are broadly:
What's so special about that, it's just a standard car isn't it?
People, I swear, still actually believe the boot floor is made from cardboard.
People tap the roof with annoying frequency.
People ask "Is it much different to a standard M3?"
These are going up in value you know, you want to keep hold of it.
Then you get the Guy Martin types who know exactly what they're looking at and freak when they see it - because they've never seen one in the flesh before, or perhaps not up close and certainly never heard one revving. I was asked, and obliged a few times in making the airbox sing. People however didn't understand that they should be recording the airbox, not the exhaust - that just didn't sink in.
It's a great car and if someone as unhinged as Mr Martin thinks so, who am I to argue
I just wish I could sell it, and buy it back in a few years unused for the same money I sold it for
