Not the first time it's happened, but came home today after a normal hard day at work and heard from my mum, some newly situated neighbours who are renting the house two doors away, were posing in front of the car pretending to open the rear door (hand under handle) and were taking pictures of themselves next to the car.

Put a smile on my face knowing a car almost 10 years old now, still hasn't lost it's touch .

I've normally had loads of people just drive down the road, notice the car parked up, and park up down the road or near as possible then take a tour round the car and then drive off again. Sometimes even when I'm standing outside (in the summer) or when a family member is outside and get asked loads of questions or just a pleasant comment such as "WOW! NICE CAR!!! Yours?"

Anybody else get this kind of attention?

Mind you half these times the car is dirty too like today.

mine gets attention still mostly people asking what it is .also looks a lot newer than its 11 years so most people think its only a few years old .lost count of the conversations i have had over the years about the car.

Yeah I get a lot more attention in the Aristo than I ever did in the IS!

Women love it too

Have to admit I don't think anyone's ever posed with it though, whenever they ask what it is they always look shocked when I tell them it's a Toyota

i have mine at work ive had loads of pics taken of it by other ppl its mostly cause of the exhausts are very unique and when its sunny the cars paint shines like crazy .

one day i found some girl on the bonnet easy to say i wasnt pleased im expecting a good bit of attention around the end of the summer as the town has the national drinking festival ... i mean national culture festival ...

It's mans law that if you find a girl on your bonnet that you get to nail her all over - I hope you did

He's right you know...

Like your thinking

find mine gets a fair amount of attention........people take pics in petrol station etc....

as long as they don't nick it

Glad to know it's not only mine!

I mean I am getting a massive head due to the fact that there's Bentley Continental GT's, Porsche Cayman's, 911 Turbo's, X5's, Range Rover Sports, parked up on the road and out of all the cars I get more attention!

(above cars are owned by the local Estate/Letting & Travel Agents)

I've haven't had one comment about my car since I got it, not even from the mingers & chavs down at Morrison's petrol station

Perhaps they were simply trying to see if there was a way they could steal it?

Maneesh: They are actually pretty "nice" folks - well the parents seem to think so anyway. Don't think they'd do that with the wife holding the camera ... BTW you've got PM.

EDIT: Forgot to mention they may not approach you cos they don't wanna ***** THE pimp of Ealing and Enfield?

Hi,

Hi I get quite a bit of attention from my IS200 Sport.
It is in mint condition if I may say so not a scratch on her including the wheels. All I have changed is the front bumper to a TTE one and a private no. plate. I part the car off-street near the station when travelling to work. My mate who lives near the station passes the car every morning and notices the other people walking to the station, taking a good look and still looking when they are 2-3 cars ahead. I think its the bumper which makes the car look like a beast.

I get alot of attention from people not knowing what the hell it is Also they think it has to have a private plate on it as it so doesn't look like a 16 year old car

like someones going to do that with a toyota?

you won't find out as you don't own one.....

Mazda RX7

Hang on then, so you're driving a JDM car yet posting up a pic ripping a HKS drift car?

Are you on drugs? And if so can I have some

Any pics then? The RX7's are nice cars. Shame you have to rebuild the engine so often.

I havent had anyone taking pictures yet, but get alot of people asking what it is. Once took it into Lexus dealers to look at the cars there and they had never seen one before. They tried to work out what it was. They kept walking around it in circles. No pics but I'm sure their CCTV picked it up!

not in an aristo but thought id share..

was in my lex in covent garden..parked it up for some food came back hours later and had some canadian guy saying 'ahh some guy was out here asking who drove the car' haha made me laugh then waffeled more about it etc.. made me and the misses smile
