No. Never have never will! I'm happily attached/engaged, and cringe at the perpetuation of the 'sportscar as a male substitute to sexual prowess/fulfillment' cliche!
BUT, I have noticed that when driving the Griff, I do get far more attention from the opposite sex.
Clearly I would be deluding myself if I thought it was for any other reason than the car itself, and to be honest, I think an encounter with any of these sports car groupies in any other situation (i.e. unrelated to the car) would result in mutual disinterest between both parties.

True story that some of you know :
Met Mrs Casio on the M25 junction 9 /10 , pulled off at the same junction swaped telephone numbers, many e-mail converstions later found out we were in the same busines had similar interests,lived 500 yards from each other (both with other people), unknowingly both our then current partners cheated on us got together after loads of crap and have been very happy ever since !!!! Best £36,000 I have ever spent !!!
Now she makes me drive my M3 to work can't imagine why !!!!!!!!!

Don't know if anybody else saw this - but came into London on the train this am with the missus.
In Metro (the free paper)there was a small article about women's perceptions of men with cars - using two shopping carts and an Elise as the sportscar. They then posed three men - ugly, not quite so ugly and annoyling handsome - with each car in turn. The women reckoned that putting the ugly bloke with the Elise made him more attractive...!
The wife looked at me and said "Now I know how you tricked me into marrying you...."
Arrrrggghhhh

I once read a personal ad in the paper (out of curiosity rather than tragicness:honest!)
My missus and I quite often look at these things, they are funny as hell !!!!!! I also do the cruel translations - Good Sense of Humour = Ugly as sin...
Bubbly = Fat etc...
I know I'm cruel but I like it...

These ads where the girls write 'slightly Crazy' or 'totally whacky' scare the shite out of me, this translates to Bunny Boiler (think Fatal Attraction!) in my book!!!!!
