Them - Ow really?

Me - Yeah, and half of the car is BMW bits, suspension and so on....

Them - Still an old mans car. Head gasket gone on it?

Me - No, never will.

Them - Whys that then?

Me - My engine was redesigned, wont ever have any of those problems.

Them - What engines that?

Me - V6, 24V quad cam.

Them - Ow right, must be slow and thirsty in that big old thing.

Me - Nope, 36 mpg on the motorway and will keep up with a Type R happily.

(Usually at this point they have walked around it and are inside it sitting in it)

Them - Nice in here actually......

Me - Lets go for a drive then.

And by that point I tell them own much it costs to own one, how they qualify as future classic on insurance as an MG and how much I payed for mine. Everyone who's slatted it, once they have had a drive or been a passenger has had a totally different opinion. Everytime.

Hi there, furture Classic car insurance, is that the same as classic car insurance = limited miles/cheap insurance and if so could you please point me to the company that you are insured with.

I used to get annoyed with the jag comments but I just let them roll over me now. I sometimes use the company jag for work and most people don't believe me when I say the 75 & ZT is more comfortable. That jag is not a comfy drive!

The one that made me laugh was somebody saying it's basically a mondeo under all the fancy exterior.

Local NI company, Hughes, they informed me the car will qualify for future class, which is normal classic really, at ten years, instead of 15. Well worth holding onto the car for until then IMO.
