A guy pulls up next to you in a Jag XKR and makes wind down your window to tell you that your car is gorgeous, how cool is that!!

I got the thumbs up the day after I picked mine up from some one in an Aston Martin, I should have asked for a swap!

Also a couple in an Overfinched Range Rover Sport were loving it on the m40 on Saturday!

I never imagined to get sooo much attention, people just cannot stop looking at it.

I was expecting to see a picture of some gorgeous woman you picked up, haha!

I drove from surrey to yorkshire yesterday and was baisically followed by a bunch of people staring, taking pictures and generally hanging around in my blind spot. I might stop putting a full tank in then i can go to the pump more often and absorb the admiring looks and comments some more, :D

Someone with a DB9 convertible has already asked what it's like to drive and a few guys on a scooby forum where asking for pictures and description of the driving experience. A lot of people are being swung by the looks and write ups I think!

And I thought my RX-8 got plenty of attention, maybe I 'aint seen nothing yet' as they say. I am getting a candy white.

Only once though did somebody take the trouble to say to me 'I like you car Mate' and he was shall we say somebody of pensionable age - nice guy though, he has to be! :)

So Candy Monster, in your opinion would you say Candy White is almost as 'loud' as Viper? Mind you Viper they can see from the International Space Station!

Leave out the mom jokes, lol

White is not loud but gets noticed as it suits the car and its a fashionable colour at the mo. Having said that, there aren't exactly a lot of rocs on the road, I'm expecting the attention/novelty to die down, does make me smile though.

If you want loud go viper! Rising blue will look great in the sunshine and black is for when your in stealth mode :D

I got this when I got my Astra VXR over 3 years ago now... was one of the first in the Country, always feel a little embarrassed with people looking or saying things. When I saw a roc the other day I was in the blind spot checking it out... perhaps I need to get ready for it :vibes:

I just like to get on with my journey 8)

There has only one time when I did not like the attension and that was in the middle of a traffic jam, surrounded by onlookers and I couldn't get away.
