Sorry if this has been posted before or similar.

I've had my car two weeks and expected some friendly banter etc from my class 1 lorry driver mates (had nothing actually)

But I was sitting with the top down outside my girlfriends work (local corner shop) to pick her up and a guy pulled up in a van to go to the shop with two young children (about 6 years old) and the young boy must of said something and the father said "it's a girls car" not once but twice.

He didn't say it to my face but walked passed the passenger side and must of seen me. Quite annoyed me and slightly upset me. Almost wanted to educate this fool on rwd, mid engine, lsd, power to weight etc.

Any stories?

So a white van man didn't like it? As a class 1 myself, I'd take that as more of a compliment than an insult!!  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
The Sun is out, the sky is blue,
The roof is down on my MR2,
And I\'m grinning, grinning ear to ear!

Thankfully no.

Only positive comments
Have noticed recently, a lot kids maybe 5 -9 year olds looking out the windows of people carrier vehicles in amazement. You just know they have never seen one, but they know it's "right"
Even spoke to one as his dad was talking to him about it. Gave him a blip of throttle as we sat at the lights. Little face lit up.
Obviously been cocooned and isolated from sound up until then. (BMW 5)

I think StuC has a little infographic. "no hair dressing items left in car"

Female friend (who drives a boggo Honda Civic) saw the MR2 in our drive and commented on the 'hairdressers car'.
She doesn't know much about cars.

I've had a couple of MX 5 comments.

Until you point out that the engine is actually at the right end. Interestingly, it brought out a discussion with one person about small British traditional two seaters which do mostly have the engine at the front. Jaguars and the MGF excepted, there are very few mid-engined British cars.

Either way, I don't care what people think. I do love winding up the Lids in their Corsas.

Plenty have thought its a porker. No toyota badges on mine.
Kids love em.
Most blokes say its a girls car even those who like cars.
My wife is a girl and she loves it so maybe they have a point.  s;) ;) s;)
Everyone is obsessed with huge power figures.
Brand snobery plays its part too.
So few people understand about ptw and handling.
Or the shear fun on open top motoring.
Sod em.
Their loss.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I dont care what anyone else says or thinks, it's a great car and i don't need a substitute car for a small di**. Those who make snide comments are probably too insecure to drive such a small car no matter how much fun.

The people I know who take the Michael first of all get told off and if they are lucky they get to so for a spin in the passenger seat.

Any others can kiss my bottom

In the last two weeks I've had "couldn't you afford a Porsche mate" and "do you do perms!" ..... People seem to see you with the roof down and feel obliged to give you their opinion! I just smile.  s:) :) s:)

My mates rib me constantly about the MR2 but not as much about the S2000. Doesn't bother me as it's just banter with them.

Anyone else is entitled to their opinions I guess, I'm guilty as are many on here of criticising other brands of car so why should we expect any different.

The only time i got upset was when a bunch of young lads in some hot hatch called me a  swanker wanker swanker  for no reason other than i had the roof down and a smile on my face.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, if anyone has anything bad to say about the car I ask them to hop in, show them what it can do and let them leave with a rejuvenated outlook on MR2 Roadsters and poop in their pants haha!
