I had to swap cars round on the drive yesterday, when I started up my car, the young boy next door ran to look out of his window, pointed over and shouted "Mum, Racing car!!"

She came over and looked out and said "He likes your car" To which I replied "It must be the Yellow smile " He watched intently as I reversed off and drove up the road.

Any one on here had any interesting comments from kids on their coop?

This boy walks past my house everyday for school, and a couple of times I've seen him run to the drive, and go 'YELLOW CARRRR :D'...and when I had it off the road at another location, the same boy walked past and said 'Wheres the yellow car gone? frown '

Bless him smile

My next door neighbour's wee boy is desperate for a run in my Coop laugh . He keeps pestering his Dad who says to him that he's to wait till he's a bit bigger and if i'm ok with it then I can take him a quick run.

It's quite strange because when I first got my 20VT he was scared by the sound of it laugh .

Not a comment as such, but driving along the other day..

The young lad spotted my car and couldnt stop looking and pointing !

His Dad ignored him & blanked my car completely rolleyes

I think that's the great part, when someone in an expensive Merc or Bmw who have a much more expensive and prestigious car who would look down on our ten year old Fiats pulls up at a garage or at the lights and *their* kids are pointing at at our cars and saying "dad look at the sports car!"

You can see the sneer from the driver it's great thumb

Whenever my nephew comes around with my sister he always asks if he can go in uncle Pip's racing car. Took him for a spin a few months ago, he was ecstatic woohoo driving

I seen a Mum and her son (about 4 or 5) walking on the street and the kid started pointing at the car to his Mum as I drove towards them laugh
Kids usually look at the car when I'm driving through towns, as they are a rare sight over here, imagine the looks if it was a yellow one wink

click to enlarge

In the bottom right of this picture, the little fella in his pedal cart, just stopped and stared at the cars for the 5 mintues we were there, on the spin after the last meet.

people who seam to think they know about cars always slate it for being a fait and so on and being fwd. people who don't know cars pretty much always say it looks really nice and is very fast.
mention fwd and fiat to a petrolhead and they laugh but actually they are the ones missing out.

i don't get that many comments to be fair though and i like that as with my 4 cars all they got was attention and it waers thin after a while.

You guys are lucky. Only kid that pointed at mine screamed and said "what car is that mummy?" then she said "a Ford or something". At this point, I just wanted to run her over but the turning circle stopped me from trying laugh


A friend did say my coupe sounded "mental" when overtaking him on two lanes the other day though.

10 years ago took delivery of brand new Portofino blue 20v turbo - my neighbour (Lexus owner) came out of the house, looked at it quizzically and said "That's a pulling vehicle but the only thing you're going to pull in that is poufs!", so henceforth she was known as the Purple Pouf Puller, but reckon I get the last laugh as 10 years on, her successor still gets regular approving comment wherever we go and who really notices a silver Lexus?

Yesterday as I pulled up at a friends house there were a few kids playing in the street. The oldest and loudest one shouted "nice car mate", and as I walked off and turned the corner I heard what followed... "lets scratch it" frown So I turned back and said excuse me and they ran off. Dont think they would have but all the same its a shame.
