    I got a knowing nod from a car full of lads the other week in the S70 while on the motorway, that was before I opened the taps too, then I got a thumbs-up from them all

    REALLY makes your day.

    Nobody pays me any attention at all usually cos the orange is hidden under a layer of dirt.

    Cars full of young dudes have been known to show appreciation when they attempt to overtake going up a local stretch of dual carriageway (starting with a one lane in/two lane off roundabout to get the speed down low without stopping)

    I had a group of young fella's pile out of a bar & wait to ask me loads of questions about my red R whilst I picked up a takeaway . They loved it - even though it was older than most of them!

    I parked the sonic for Evie's school graduation and another parent was tugging at his wife's arm saying "look, look it's a v70r" his wife wasn't interested at all lol.
