And so it begins...

[optical illusion]

2 different people have approached me and said my car is like Knightrider (I think they mean Kit, bless) I think it may be a nickname that sticks...

But mainly why I started this thread... and ohhh... it feels so good! - was dropping back a dvd tonight around 12am, pulled in beside a jeep which I thought was unoccupied, until I saw a man in his 30's with his mouth agape looking at me. Then (ooooh) as I was coming back out of the store himself and his friend were out walking around and checkiing out the whole body of my car, caught me coming and got all embarassed and jumped back into their jeep

And 2 separate occasions yesterday lads in a teg type r and a civic nearly crashed into roundabouts gawking!

Ahhhh... I don't think that'll ever get old...

Happens me all the time too it's great. Not too many cars on the road 13 years old that can still turn heads!!

[Mickthepieman]

People are always looking at my car around Sligo.

Being de-badged they don't know what make it is.

Time for a beer

debadging - what's the attraction??

debadging - what's the attraction??

leaves people guessing what kind of car you're driving.. They know it's nice but they don't know what it is...

also some might argue that badges ruin clean lines or some such...

already discussed here!

I prefer them without the Mitsubishi badge too.

debadging - what's the attraction??

Finally - somebody agrees!!

[kevinod]

To be honest the only reason I bothered debadging the back of mine was cos they were worn old looking stickers.

Woo, best yet, a fella in a Porsche saluted me yesterday. Getting a lot of salutes from shams too bless 'em

Oh and I got a raised glass from a fella outside a pub today! Ah the joys...

Now don't be sexist Seb, Knightrider is doing all the work

Yesterday I was walking back to my car to put a parking ticket on it and a mother walked by with her child, and the child pointed and said "Mammy, is that a racecar?" To which she replied "Yes hunny"

Even kids know how awesome the fto is...

[Dragonheart]

Kids are always the ones who point and wave. But you cant wave back cause thats not cool!
(Though I do sometimes, I know I would have liked it when I was a kid).

kids are always amazed by cool cars. fella off my football team brought his little son to one of our matches one saturday morning and his lil son was asking him is that a special car?. he went along with it and said yes, he told his son there was guns behind the grill and everything. the face on the lil lad was priceless. bending down lokking through the grill, it was so funny
