At my cousins wedding this weekend. Guy there obviously clocked the ///M and in conversation with him at the reception asked me if I "was the guy with the TVR"; I very nearly spat my Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc out over him! After eventually convincing him it wasnt a TVR (took a few minutes) he looked confused and proceeded to tell me he though he knew a lot about cars and had "never seen one of those before".

Anyone else had similar conversations?

That's just plain ridiculous. If he really knew anything about cars, he would know fine well that if it had been a TVR, you wouldn't have been having this conversation. You wouldn't have made the wedding, as you are your TVR would have been on the side of the road / on the back of a tow truck / on your driveway... :D

The only thing I have had is my local garage repeatedly referring to mine as a Z3.... hhmph. :(
 
You sure he wasn't trying to wind you up? I've done similar things to other people for a laugh - sorry I have a sick sense of humour, particularly when it comes to peoples tastes in cars.

Nothing winds a car enthusiast up more than saying his P&J is run of the mill, or in fact a completely different car.
 
haha

In my old Gen 7 celica i once had a nice looking blonde girl think it was a Ferrari... i didnt feel the need to correct her :evil:
 
I think car nuts are getting rarer whilst the general public is just getting plain dummer (about cars).

You'll grow out of it eventually. I used to love the stuff but now I very rarely drink it.

Try : top end Sancerre (Pascal Jolivet for instance), Pouilly Fumé. both are 100% Sauvignon Blanc
White Bordeaux from cheap (but nothing unde £5.00) to expensive (nothing above £25.00, its not worth it) thats either 100% Sauvignon Blan or blend of.
 
Various things that people thought i own :
- is it a diesel ? (nope...)
- BMW ! woo! bet it has a V6 ! (almost... but nope)
- look, a Z5 ! (not yet)
- look mom, a Ferrari ! (nope... and the following vehicule was a S2000, FYI)
 
Love Sancerre and Pouilly Fume but the New Zealanders have made a very drinkable wine :)
 
Its an honest mistake, that blue and white 'B/T M/V W/R' badge on the bonnet/boot/indicators/etc/etc is easily missed... I mean you just don't see BMW's on the road, especially with badges.
 
Every time i tell my customers i have a bmw m coupe they havn't got a clue of what im talking about and i just give up saying its a two seater blah blah.
 
Yes , knowledge of z4mc's seems rare even for people who are interested in sports cars , a look of confusion seems to appear on their faces but they don't want to admit they haven't a clue . Having had a Tvr till very recently I'm used to this confused look .
