Hi all-RANT ALERT!!! a workmate noticed today on my pressbrake a pic of an i8 "is that your car" he says :roll: "no" i replied "No fooking wonder we cant get a fooking pay rise with you turning up in that outside every day" he said "We havnt had a payrise for three years -ive only had my car a few months!" was my reply-nice to know what your 'mates' think of you!----rant over ---thanks (it wasnt fooking but you get the idea!)
 
I get some stick at work for mine, "Hairdressers car etc etc . Fook em its just jealousy. :evil:
 
I get the old "we obviously pay you too much" crap too. After 3 years on no pay increase - not even an inflation one :(
 
I get this from our country managers! who earn probably 4 or 5 times more (if not more) than what I earn :lol:

who cares? enjoy your car :thumbsup:

Aye ! same here , the muppets dont realise , a Zed can be had for price of a Corsa, :rofl: :rofl: ( no offence to Corsa drivers , great cars )
 
Haha. I get all the above too!

"Obviously paying me too much" - actually no. I prefer to spend 10 grand on a older car thats a thing of beauty than wasting 16 grand on a new fiesta!

Hairdresser or gay car is a popular one.... And? :D
 
ive been asked if ive started a car washing company :?

had the standard paid to much as above etc, and of course the hair dresser car stuff

but they all drive s**t cars so i take it as jealousy and thank the people who aren't idiots and say "nice car" "well done" etc
 
The guys I work with just say " Look, he has no kids" :rofl:


The estimate of raising a kid here is about $250,000 each. I just tell them they should have used a condom....
 
Go on then Andysat, name and shame - where do you worked in our blessed city? PM may be required

The first morning I parked up with the Z a colleague entered the room saying "it looks like another w***er is on the road then". I left him to it.

Another marched me straight downstairs with the key so he could take a good look. Its always mixed but people dont realise how accessable a Z is. There are two more in the office now though :x :headbang:
 
Always say back that I'd rather be driving a 'hairdressers' car than driving a 'w@nkers' car.
Keep the dream alive Zedders. With great wheels comes great [res]ponsibility. Causes all sorts of jealousy.
 
Have to say apart from some tongue in cheek comments all everyone at work has wanted is to go for a ride in it at lunchtime. So far none have seen the coupe before, I think they think it costs alot more than it did. I havnt told them it cost less than their new plate mondeo's etc.
 
Last year my missus had a serious health scare and had a full hysterectomy. We are relatively young and had not thought too much about kids and wanted to leave it till later. Oh well :thumbsdown:
We bought the Z4 in January and they found my wife's tumour in May after coming back in February from carribean (we had the Z a week and drove from Glasgow to Manchester for flight in snow).
Using my usual dry humour afterwards I did say at least we can always have a great 2 seater convertible(silver lining for every cloud etc) :rofl:
Enjoy these things while you can as you don't know what's round the corner :thumbsup:
And as my auld gran used to say "There's nae pockets in a shroud" :thumbsup:
 
The one reason I hesitated before buying a roadster is the attention I knew it would draw, both good and bad. I seriously considered something that's more of a sleeper, but in the end I decided my enjoyment was more important than what anyone thought. Fook all people that judge drivers by what they drive. They do not even rate a response, they're too stupid to even get it.

As everyone has noted, a used Zed costs as much as any other decent car, but clowns that care about such things think it costs much more. I should tell them it's none of their business, but for some unexplainable reason, I feel like I'm being rude, so I usually say my uncle willed it to me. They're too dim to realise that, even as a gift, their perceived inflated operating costs would say more about my financial status than the purchase price would.

With the exception of mates just ribbing one a bit, people that comment about hairdressers or gays or wealthy arrogant snobs expose their lack of sophistication and deserve no response at all. I just glare at them a second and walk away. Communicates more than anything you could say.
 
I get the 'how much are they paying you' and hairdresser comments, as already said, I just say 'ok, what do you drive then?' usually shuts them up! Got a bit more stick since my mate doing the same job bought a coupe! Really stand out in a car park next to each other! 8)
 
My late wife (Breast Cancer) and I used to say " Life is short, drive a Jag". She got an Audi A6, better than a jag in the snow here. And I started driving Zeds..... Screw them all ... do what makes you smile...life IS too short .
 
I get hairdresser comments from my boss but he drives a 1977 Corvette and a VXR8 so I let him get away with it. Other than that most of the people in my office either couldnt give a s**t about cars or enjoy the banter from fans of other makes
