I was at work today when i was stopped by one of the builders on site, who asked me if my car was for sale as it looked nice and he wanted a maestro. He was quite nice about it and we had a little chat about my car and i directed him to the for sale ads on this site to find a car, apparently he has one and wants a "new" one.
I have also been complimented on its condition (he thought it has been re-sprayed) and been told that theyr good cars - apparently he had a diesel for fishing etc and it was really good.
Someone who walked past my parents house and saw my car has also commened on it making a nice change from the "silver forign boxes" that frequent the area.
In face most of the people who have had one in the past i have spoken to recently have said theyr good cars, rather than "oh that thing that rusted".
I know that they are getting rarer and also commanding larger sums when they sell. I'm just finding the whole thing quite funny as i remember when the tesco advert came out people pointing/swearing at me etc (as i had the exact same car) but now people are being nice
Maybe its bcause they have hit the 25 year barrier so are now properly rare?
On a side note ive decided to keep my car as its got good visibility, the engine is bob proof, its good off road, it doesnt mind "puddles" AND keeps up with stuff in the fast lane of the M25 without doing more than 55mpg! It also has two slots that perfectly fit my two mobile phones :-) Really what more could i need? (Well possibly air conditioning after the past few days)
