Kids Know Cars

Cleaned the ITG filter today so went out for a quick spin once it was back on.

Stopped outside the Dick Lovett Ferrari dealers in Cardiff to see what they had in stock.

Two young lads on bikes rode past looking at the Ferrari’s then stopped by my Exige.

Had the usual “nice car mate!” and “how fast does it go?”

Then one of them asked how much it was “about �35K” I said “so not as expensive as the Ferrari’s”

“That looks MUCH better than any of the Ferrari’s mate” and they rode off.

Made my day.

Had a couple of guys in one of those new ferrari spiders (430?) cranking there heads around to see waht it was passing on the opposite side of the carriageway… Nice!!

Next time that happens & the kid asks how much did it cost, reply with “Well, what do you reckon?”. You’ll be quite surprised with the response

I have had people think it cost about �100K before.

Some woman thought my old S1 was worth about �60K. I offered it to her for �50K but she said no

Exactly

Then you get people that ask what you’ve done to your Elise!

Batmobile is alwasy the one get my goat tho’

All the rest are very cool… There was some kids asking about my car and a mates MR2 turbo (about 350bhp, would wheelspin in 3rd gear!) and they just wouldn’t accept that the MR2 would be quicker top speed

I remember shortly after buying mine, pulling up at some traffic lights outside an italian restaurant where I could see a family eating next to the window.
The kids with them 2 or 3 downed their knifes and forks and ran out onto the pavement waving and pointing at the Exige, I was laughing, dont think their parents were though
