Some top comments there, and your daughter is most certainly a winner for hers! There is something very sweet about your daughter saying things about your car, I think they pick up on how much you love it yourself.
Lucie was at my mums (during the time when the Zodiac was residing in the back garden) and she wanted to play in it. She sat on my mum's lap and waggled the steering wheel then hugged it a bit and uttered...
"I yove daddy's car, it's beautifoo!"
She's nearly four, and very bright, but the letter 'L' still eludes her.
Daughters and daddy's car, there are few things finer in life!

that reminds me of one night me and the wife came home when she was totally wrecked, and ran her hand over the Capri and said "pretty car!" - she usually pretends it's nothing special ;-)

I parked up in Coalville with my 5 year old son at the same time a guy was parking his Bentley Continental next to an old K plate Astra. We walked over to the ticket machine and my son said "wow dad look at that car!" Bentley man started to look very pleased with himself as he was getting his ticket,my son then said "Its a Vauxhall Astra!" Bentley man was crushed and I was so proud of my son!

I was just happy that after 2 years of owning my Avenger, the GF came to the workshop with me. she sat in the car and said "I like it" After that, I couldn't get her out of it. She sat reading her book in the "comfy seat" while I welded. She's never aproved of any of the cars I've had, not even the MK2 Golf.

My girlfriend baffles me sometimes. She 'gets' that cars is my thing, but also gets annoyed when i'm working on them constantly. However she's doing her driving test in a couple of weeks so I asked what car she wanted, straight away "another Uno". So we chatted about it and she said she wants another mk2 5 door Uno like our old red one, but wants power steering and central locking. Guess who's on the lookout for a Uno, Corsa power steering column and remote central locking kit now lol. Should have kept my mouth shut and said get a Punto instead haha.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

Today I was treated to a rendition of "twinkle twinkle" which goes:
Twinkle twinkle chocolate bar My dad drives a rusty car Start the engine, pull out the choke Off we go in a cloud of smoke
And so forth.

It must be the colour scheme of yours Josh! And I always thought you looked like Harry Potter too bar the glasses...
Hats off to Al's daughter and RL's son's comments! Maybe with good reason, my younger sister does not like the BL stuff I've owned! I once had to pick her up in the 'B a few days ago from the station(as the daily broke and my Mondy was in use leaving me with the 'B and giving her the choice of the bus or the 'B (she almost took the former). BL stuff she calls 'trash cans'.
As for the 205 and Porker, she loved both of them as did my work colleagues (especially the latter). Porker was a Marmite car (some said 'wow, what a great classic, others saying 'Rich child born out of wedlock (forgetting the fact that it was getting on for 20 years old and cheaper to run than my old 306 GTi-6 (bar fuel)!).
