Proving people wrong....

I have quite a few friends that dislike my car and because of that they think its "shit" I always tell them not to slate it until they have driven one and that its very underestimated and its one of the best FWD cars for handling! But they dont believe me until....Until they get in my passenger seat and i take them down some country roads at national speed limit Ive done this with 3 friends now and the lack of words coming out there mouth and the way they are tensed in the seat says it all! And i love it at the end when they say, "Okay maybe it does handle well"

I did this on Sunday with a friend of mine who called it a 'hairdressers car'.

.9 leptons on a nice wide windy country road soon shut him up!

yep, non of my mates think its a 'crap' car!

anyone who has made a comment though usually gets their car thoroughly verbally ripped apart by me though! as a Designer i get to tell them all about how gay their car is;

hatchback; designed as a 'second' car for the little lady / kids / shopping!
saloon; family man!
mpv; family man with no testicles!

and yet all the people who tend to drive these cars think a coupe (by definition a sports car, just a timid one) is crap!! lol

took mine for a first proper road trip from Pboro to Skegness on Sunday.... I scored 12 DG's (Door Grabs - when the missus instinctively grabs the door handle for dear life) on the way back... yet kept a perfect tram line round each and every bend. Delightful.

one of my mates calls her a "silver speed bump " ...... and others keep refering to her as a Fiesta in drag !!!!!

I just think they're jealous ..... amazing how quite a few want to come for a drive though ..... and I am looking forward to giving them a few white knuckle rides ))

Surprisingly my mate that drives a Jaguar is very impressed that I have my own pussycat
