Being all clean and shiny and bright yellow adds to the embarrassment, which is brilliant.

I even clocked him looking up and down the pavement to see who was about before popping the door button under the mirror

When I was in 5th year (maybe 6th year) my dad drove a brand new red Alfa 156.
I was overjoyed when he picked me up from school in it (which was rare).
Can't imagine what it'd have felt like if he picked me up in a bright yellow Cerbera! :O

That being said, since I went to Braeview, it's probably more of a wonder that the Alfa made it out in one piece - the Cerb would be ripe for the picking, and up on bricks before I got the chance to reach for the door release under the mirror

[rossybee]

Shouldn't be so harsh on Braeview

Says me who went to Monifieth High

Today it's a beige Fiat 500. Ironically he'll be less embarrassed.

Where did I go wrong?

I helpout a kid's cycle club and I thought it was a good idea to take the Exige. I hadn't anticiapted the crowds of kids and looking like,
well, a show offy dick.

[rossybee]

You needed a beige 500

[Rosssco]

Mine lives outside permanently (with cover), so its actually of benefit to drive it during the winter..

See.Not like me at all and why I felt so uncomfortable..

HANG ON! What are you saying?

The auto rev start on the V6 has massive dickhead implications in front of schools, mums with prams, and other such situations where a subtle exit is preferable.

Yes annoying isn’t it. Nice when cold starting as it doesn’t do it.

Mustang has a quiet start mode I hear. Clever.

The two neighbours I actually get along with are proper car junkies.. I remember one of them telling me that he lays in bed with a smile on his face when I head off early morning for a run and he can tell where I am heading out of the estate by the noise... "that's John on the dual carriageway now"....

Bollocks to your quiet start mode....
