Nice day out, so I thought I'd take the coop out to Tesco to do the shopping (yes, I do park in public carparks for those who know me ) all done no issues, not even with the kid in my trolly All's good then approach car, some scrag end Corsa has parked next to me even though I parked fairly far away from most "things". So I load in the weeks shop & Son, just crouching in to get him strapped in when scrag end owner appears on my sholder trying to get to his drivers door, "Sorry, do you mind if I get my son in first mate?" "No, no probs mate, propper respectable car you got there mate " "thanks alot" feeling pretty chipper
As per usual, got the 2x 5p discount voucher to fill her up with 99RON (makes it sort of a sensible price) So I'm waiting in the que to fill up when some yoof ambles past to get into his mates car (Mitubishi Colt) I've got the window open to keep things cool, and he wanders up, stops, admires the coop for a second and says "I like your motor mate, it's Sick" I feel like replying in my best posh accent, "Cheers Blood" ,but I resist and acknoledge his admiration and chuckle to myself, once he's out of earshot
It's got to be the new wheels that are gathering all this attention as I've never had so many positive comments on the car from the general pubic in all the time I've owned it so a big to diamond cut alloys, thank you

What else could it be then shiny

Must be your new stereo

Can't be mate I haven't fitted it yet Anyway, I don't go round with it blasting out at the petrol station, What would people think!

Lol, I hate that term 'sick' for anything that's nice, but I suppose a compliment's a compliment

pfft U jst aint dwn wiv da kids R U T...

Must be, it's strange these comments it attracts are from one particular demographic?



Got to be the wheels.

Similarly, at a Goodwood track day, I was sought out by and received very favourable comments for my 20vt from Lord March and his very wealthy cronies. Must be my pink and yellow wheels

I have just read thread this thinking yours might be poorly too... must keep up with the times!

I had few comments the other week too, in fact at a petrol station a woman well into her 60's came over and asked what it was and where she could get one as it was "smashing" and she was looking for a new car!

Never hd it described as sick though....we are just not 'street' enough up here!

ooooh young man. I do like your big turbo young man. Is it powerfull young man, does it have a lot of thrust

LOL......

Haha I've got that comment a fair few times from the ruffiens round here. lol!

Ha ha

If you think about it, the word "smashing" is just as arbitrary as "sick". It's only a matter of time before the people saying "sick" are having the piss taken out of them by the younger generation for speaking like old farts.
