WHILE DRIVING MY PRIDE AND JOY , I AM FINDING AN INCREASING NUMBER OF PEOPLE POINTING THEIR MOBILE PHONES AT ME.
INCLUDING SOMEBODY IN A BLACKED OUT STRETCHED LIMO , PULLING ALONGSIDE ME , WINDING DOWN THEIR WINDOW AND OUT POPS ANOTHER MOBILE PHONE.
I WONDERED IF ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS OR IT WAS JUST ME.
I WOULDNT MIND . BUT I ALREADY HAVE A MOBILE PHONE
They are taking your photo - or rather one of the car!!
Had this a few times too
Including some nut who ran out of a pub with a real camera…bless 'em
Call it the S1 factor!

Ha - was driving back from Italy in an open top Austin Healey 100-6 on Sunday in really pouring rain and suddenly there was a flash - thought we had a ticket - but nope it was some crazy Belgium guy taking pictures of us - we were totally soaked so they thought it was really funny - yeah it was …
I’ve had that quite a it really… along with all the kids pointing and stuff like that
Even had a group of girls in a fiesta who kept passing me in light traffic last night and kept taking pics with the phone, leaning right out the back wondows! LOL!
Surely its not the car,its you theyre snapping!!!
I haven’t had that experience.
From what I’ve seen, only boys and all men up to about 30 y.o. stare, look or point at the car.
But no girls, ok, maybe some between 7 and 14 y.o., but older ones like to pretend they haven’t seen the car.
Funniest one was coming back from a track down south stopped at a fuel station and then 2 lads stopped, kneeled and with their hands to the floor and up started saying “we’re not worth it!, we’re not worth it!”
I have the same feelings as Uldis, only young boys seem to really stare at the Exige.
Except one time I was driving through town, and a bloke of about 30-40 stepped to the edge of the pavement and did a very exaggerated impression of waving a chequered flag at me as I went past
at a fuel station and then 2 lads stopped, kneeled and with their hands to the floor and up started saying “we’re not worth it!, we’re not worth it!”
It’s embarassing (yet quite smug-inducing) when they do that isn’t it !
I can’t imagine any car I’d do that to… (well, unless it’s Pamela Anderson driving a Zonda Roadster…)
< me drifts off into dream world… >
Surely its not the car,its you theyre snapping!!!
Ah bless ya! I’d agree if it wasn’t for the fact I look like I fell out of the ugle tree and hit every branch on the way down before landing face first into the ugly rock at the bottom LOL
Seriously tho’, it’s the car
And the “We’re not worthy!” is a classic!
Stop it Dave your making me feel all embarrased .
But your probably right .
Its great to read the experiences of fellow Exigers .
