Here I get mostly guys in their twenties checking it out. The other day in the parking garage at work I was coming out late as a cleaning crew was coming in and the guy was staring and smiling. He had questions, I had answers. Always a good time.

Not had anyone take any pics of the car except the West Midlands Constabulary

I do notice Audi and Merc drivers staring with that if only sort of look
