Had an older guy at a servo a while ago say to me 'nice car, bet you wish you had one of those 200sx though'...

Still I wonder if he was trolling me or was retarted.

I have come back to find people taking pics of my car in the carpark, always makes me a little uneasy!

Had plenty of random driving experiences in it though ranging from your general thumbs up to people trying to flag me down to stop on the highway!

Had several occasions where guys and girls have taken pics of it driving through Syd and had some crazy lebbo at a servo in Cabramatta filming the car one day as well! Not sure if he believed me when I said it was stock!! :D

Saw this thread and had a chuckle. I can definitely say I've had my share of admirations, some have been down right hilarious. Unfortunately most of these were when my ex was in the car and was able to relay them to me, as when I'm driving I tend to not notice these things (too busy concentrating :P).

Situation 1:

Driving through the streets of the city, upon turning a corner into a street two guys were walking up it ahead of us. As I approached the T junction to turn (towards the corner they were on) one of them goes down onto his knees and arms up in the air, not sure how to classify the sound he made. Guess you could say he had a crisis.

Situation 2:

Driving around near the harbour tunnel entrance going through one of the turning on-ramps to join oncoming traffic - a motorbike coming from a different entrance drives alongside, gives a thumbs up and drives up a bit. About 5 seconds later does a "wheelie" and continues on.

Situation 3:

Kids - love the reactions these guys have to the GTR. I'm kind of grouping them all together as they always happen.

Kids being walking by their parents but twisting almost 180 to keep looking at that car. Ones asking questions "Mum, what is that car" "It's a Nissan." Other's making statements "It's bwueee!" You get the general drift here.

Situation 4:

Getting papped. This has happened a few times in different forms (I'm sure everyone gets these).

One - One day driving to a friends birthday car in the middle land moved up to be ahead of me in the outside lane. Hanging outside the window was a pair of hands holding a camera, which I assuming was filming.

Two - Driving through the city, I ended up being the first car smack bang outside Deli France at an intersection. Two guys who were sitting down having a coffee got up and started having a conversation and asked if they could take photos.

Three - Another photo papp at a set of lights. A guy with a DSLR ended up walking into the middle of the road behind me (3 lanes) to take some photos, luckily it was fairly quiet.

I'm sure there are others that I'll remember in due course but thought I'd share some of the funny ones to give people a laugh :)

yeah GTRs are always a head turner, probably my two most memorable would be:

firstly: when taking a girl out we were driving through the a carpark and this kids like " WOWEE mum! look at that! that car is AMAZING!!!"

secondly: once again out witha girl (probably the most fortuitous timing for it) and after parking a kid comes up to me and he's like "is that a real R32 GTR!!! you ought to enter it into the local show and shine! you would win for sure mister.. you sure are lucky to own one of those. i want to get one when i grow up"

obviously good for the ego in both cases. :)

I popped in at burger shop in 2001 at South St Marys before doing a house call.

> I came out with my sandwich and drink, noticing a woman 2m from my car.

> As I chirped the immobiliser to "unlock", she asks me, "Can you please give this car a hit?"

> I say, "Sorry but I'm going to have my lunch first."

> She says, "Well can I sit just over there until you finish lunch, and then you'll give it a hit?"

Terry you sly dog

Had a guy next to me last week driving home from work in stop start traffic. He had a tidy 911, would have been 50-60. He wound his window down and said "That's a nice Datsun"

I wasn't quick enough to come back with "That's a nice Volkswagen" - it came to me about 10 seconds later

He saw your blonde hair Kat and thought,...

"That certainly ain't stock. She only thinks it's stock!"

Hahaaa

Hahaha quite possibly!

He didn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed though :D

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
