Seems when I drive my 126...

[Darrell]

There is always a sodding camera being pointed at it!!

A passat went past me on the motorway on sunday, then stopped on the hard shoulder and some guy got out and started filming me! Then they started to follow me with the camera on me!

Should I be pissed or flattered?

With todays weather the little beast might be blown away so might not have to worry about it  ::

[stuey]

be flattered! ive lost count how many times ive had a camera phone pointed at me...

[Rusty's Uncle]

It is the 126 Factor you will just have to get used to the fame & glory.  

[GTMaster]

You wouldn't have that happen here, they'd probably run you off the road
Mainly tourists take long looks at Polski Fiats and Trabants...

as long as it aint plod taking your pic ..... enjoy your new found fame it isnt because of your good looks.... (sorry mate).    most pics are taken by homesick poles who are normally laughing as they take the pic wondering why a brit would drive such a shed!!!(or in your case a white/african)

It's not all miles of smiles sadly, driving past a pub today some &*£%ing chavs started throwing things at my BIS  :smt093

Don't know if i should feel safe parking any more..

[bis13]

where abouts did that happen? the island is pretty dead this time of year , so they must be bored locals. when people do that sort of thing use the 126s superb turning cicle and run the mothers over!!!

[nathan126]

ha, yeah lucky for them they weren't in the road..  :sad:
It was down in Lake, stopped at the lights and couldnt really avoid it!

Luckily no damage..  yet.

I dont mind it when it is posative attention.

I had a guy in an alfa hoot while next to me, when I looked across he had his thumbs up which is great.

Polish people take lots of pics and often will chat to me.

I had some polish girls wanting their pic by the car, no worries for that.

But when you get the chav types....

had my dust caps stolen from my wheels the other day, never had dust caps stolen before.
Attention is ok, suppose we have to take the good with the bad.
I am looking for a wicked alarm system.
Something that will sense people hanging around the car, dunno if there is such a beast on the market.

[Gordan]

Yeah, get the jaguar type alarm, the one if you get too close starts going: "Step away from the wehicle" and if you dont it starts screaming like mad...  

[bis13]

darrell its probable that some 9yr olds are bombing around with some nice dust caps on there bikes now!! keep an eye on your local kids and i bet you see your dustcaps! best bet is black plastic ones.
