Default Saw my old ZT on rate-driver lots of comments since I gave it to my father-in-law

As some might know I rescued a ZT CDTI a few years ago and gave it to my father in law, nobody ever paid me any attention when I had it, but since I gave it to my father-in-law lots of people have commented on it on this odd forum/group, whatever it is
Why are people so sad as to write this stuff, just because he’s a pensioner? I haven’t mentioned it to him it would probably upset him not that any of it seems rude or nasty just odd.
I only came across it after a friend sent me a link?

What do others think? I’ve attached the link below

Some of the comments are ok and I’d be happy if the young set thought that about me, no point getting upset about it really better to laugh it off.

Default Not too bad

Reading through the posts , there are a couple of iffy ones but most seem to say he is courteous and polite , wish there were a few more like him on the road.
Also searched my own reg but luckily I'm not on there.

Reading those comments, fair play to him. If I was him I would have a giggle at them. Reminds me of my grandfather when he was alive. He used to go clubbing up until he was 65! (died at 67) and drove around for nearly a year with a dressed blow up doll on the back seat of his car, with a hanging window sticker 'I am not bald, I have a solar panel for a se x machine' .

***** Micky, I didn't even know this existed!!!

I not sure I want to put my registration in...

I think he's got a pretty decent review to be honest, seems to be a sensible driver just shook up a few peoples ideas of who should be driving a ZT, could be a lot worse.
Everyone seems to like the car.

Yeah it’s good people like the car, and that’s cool, however judging by the language it seems that it’s a bit of a young lads type site, who think he’s some boy racer, he was a HGV class 1 driver, and not “cruising” just being careful and it seems they have mistaken that for “cruisin” or whatever they want to call itin some ways in quite hilarious that these people think he’s like them, he does love his car tho.

Won't lie, if i saw a couple of pensioners driving that car I would be taking a photo and put on facebook giving them utter respect. As most of the comments are. Brilliant.
