Mates either love it, hate it, or just think its funny. One told me the other day he'd told everybody he knew about it :P

I passed some roadworks once and one workman stopped and looked, then nudged his mate. I dont know what happened after that as I was quiet quickly gone.

I do regulary get "watches" from people. Never had a member of the public insult it though.

It raises controversy. Which is what makes it great. Anything is good as long as it's interesting. Which is why old BL stuff is cool, despite it's epic shitness. Love and hate create the most crazy reactions. But at the end of the day these people will always remember it. It's what makes life fun :D

With my car being in quite good nick I get comments from old folk: good nick, is that the proper reg.? We used to have 1 of those.
Not many young people round here like it, if its old it has to be vw more or less. The other week an old bloke offered to t-cut the scratch out my wing haha.
