theyd have to do a special fat persons "batsuit" for me


I bet chavs would still try and race you at the lights, even if you had the afterburner on full reheat

I guess the big problem with a 355 is a lot of people will think its and MR2 with a bodykit, until you rev it i guess.

I guess your paying for the one of mould making and ALL the RnD Especially when you consider the cost of most fibereglass bodied kit cars and this one just has a fancy body on it.

I guess thats the big problem with 355's, they kind of lost the exclusivity when the crap MR2 replicas came out.

Great drivers cars though.

Thank you mate!!

I think the MR2 rep's are so easy to tell. I went to Pets At Home earlier to buy some dog food and this lad walking past with his girlfriend said (so I could hear) 'Thats an MR2 with a bodykit' Could not help but say 'Do you want to check the engine' With that he walked on and said 'steroid taking poser' I just let it go........really could not be bothered!

I have had no comments when im in my Escort Estate with my dogs in the back....... Not one person has said 'Thats a fake German Shepherd or a fake Bullmastiff'......lol Or even worse, thats a Reliant Robin rep with an Escort bodykit.........lol!!!!!

Its a shame as they are good drivers cars. I remember driving one on a silverstone experience day and it was great fun.

Shame a lot of crap replicas have over-shaddowed the originals. Same with beetle based porsche replicas and some of the shocking lambo replicas

I have had Women ask me out for dates since owning my 355.....how shallow. A woman in the BP garage filling up her BMW X5 asked if I wanted to take her out...... had a note left under my wiper saying 'hot car, call me' with a number left and name.....whilst at traffic lights 2 girls in a Saxo VTS.....passenger asked if I wanted oral sex....... Its funny but makes you think how some Women just think about cash

I lost your number bud!! PM me and I will pop round in it. Im about most eve's next week. She is Fully Comp so if you want to take her round the block or even up Tring bypass.....more than welcome! We will have to go into Town.....you will not believe the looks you get!

I was cleaning her this morning and this total twat (with 4 of his mates) said 'yeah you show your car off....just because your rich you think you can have anything or anybody' I had to keep cool as this is certainly not the case!! Only reason I own her is due to my inheritance..... not hard work, well my job is hard but never enough to buy a 355!
