Nice to see everyone! Don't our cars look great. I can't stop looking at my car. I love it. And thanks to @GT86-Ian and @Leevsfortyone for taking me for spins in your souped-up cars! Especially to Lee for actually letting me DRIVE yours. Wow. 🤩 2 SimonG68 and VAD17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CherryBomb 34 Report post Posted November 3, 2019 On the way home, I had a really cool experience. I was in the Blackwall Tunnel, so going slow obviously, and I saw this Bentley in the wing mirror coming up next to me, so I looked over as it came up beside me to have a look. Well, there was little boy in the passenger's seat, he couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 (and not in a car seat, and apparantly up on his knees). I smiled at him and he looked at me briefly, but for the whole 4 or 5 seconds that the car was beside me, he was looking at my car. I mean intently checking it out. I just grinned and thought, yeah, kid, you got it. You're on the right track. You might be in a Bentley, but forget that cumbersome thing, my car is FUN. It was just like one of those wistful car commercials with the romantic music in which a little boy dreams of driving a race car. If I were a film director, I couldn't have produced a more perfect moment. It was amazing! 2 Luke and Subota Boy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get it at least once every time I go out.

The response is always "is that the new one then? Never seen one before" or similar! 1 Subota Boy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree, a great techy hybrid, always good fun for driving down the twisty Sussex country lanes. Would like a supercharger installed after I've removed the token back seats!! 1 The Minion reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
