Yes, my 126 gets lots and lots of attention. It makes people smile. Tourists catch a moment at traffic lights to take a photo. I get loads of waves, and the thumbs up. I get a bit nervous when people wait for you to come back to the car.
One time I noticed a driver driving a bit recklessly behind me. The caught up with me in traffic by driving on the bus lane. I thought road rage? No. He was smiling, He asked me to open my window and said, "I love your car to bits, I'd like to buy your car! How much?". I raised five fingers (my not for sale price). He looked, gave me the thumbs up. I drove away. He turned the opposite direction. Bizarre.
