Here are some great comments I have had from people in the last couple of weeks.
@work
“Have you seen that blue thing in the car park, looks like a Mustang or something, I thought its the sort of thing you might like”
“I have, it is and I do.”
@work
“Saw you pull into the car park in that blue, well, whatever it is, I didn't need to look who was driving it, I knew it had to be yours”
@pub
“Dude, your car looks just like a Mustang! What is it?”
“A Mustang”
@pub
“Wow, I was just thinking that Focus looked pretty nice until you pulled in in that!”
@parents
“It looks, well, OK for one of your cars. Is it supposed to be that colour?”
My (3 year old) daughter's comments:
“People are looking at us. They think we are in a racing car!”
“The engine is very noisy”
“We can go very fast if we want to.”
“Mustangs are like Pontiacs. Not like normal cars”

Hehehee, quality, when i used to take my littleun out in the V8 Jeep she used to say,
"Do a skid daddy"
as it often used to chirp the tyres away from junctions.

Likewise, picking up my little sister in the 'rat, I used to get "do a skid!" or "faster faster faster!" which really just meant make more noise, it was (and is) a 1.3 60hp skoda after all.
gotta love what kids come out with. Some crackers from your girl AK.

the funniest comments I ever heard about my capri:
guy to his girlfriend
guy: that is great!
girlfriend: why it's old and rusty?
guy: you just don't get it...
and a 4 year old to his mum: wow - look at that really fast car!! (to him loud meant fast!!)

I recently received this pearl of wisdom from ickle_Seth as we walked home from school one day.
"If your indicators stop working then they smoke. Like a chimney! That means they are burning. If you are near your home then you can stop and walk the rest of the way"

My daughter just claps when I got fast lol, though her speech is coming along massively recently and haven't had a car to go in. She can point out cool cars too.
