I pulled into a Tesco filling station a couple of weeks ago to put in a pint or two of fuel to get me to the Shell garage when due to my now non winding up windows I heard the chap who was blocking my egress explain to his apparently long suffering wife and kids "That is a piece of sculpture. Just look at the lines." He continued to wax lyrically on the Tusc's beatific values with dew forming in his eyes before eventually breaking from his trance at his wife's urging. I eventually was able to escape the outlet of Satan's Petrol.
Has this happened to you? Turning heads, OK. But blocking the road to drool? It's just not becoming of a man.

Not had the road blocked by a car, but did have a crowd of two coach loads of Spaniards surround my car in a distillery car park in Scotland. We escaped after everyone had taken their photos - and I even let some sit in the car for their photo opportunities.
Its a compliment to have your car admired, and I always try to return that compliment with the hope that it further the public's love of TVR, rather than pour scorn and vandalise them.

All sorts of unusual incidents in the 9 months Ive had mine. A couple asked if they could take photographs of my car while I filled it up with optimax which felt a little weird I have to say!
A bit more worrying was the time I pulled up alongside a tramp who was- until I arrived- happily sleeping off the special brew on a bench next to a roundabout give way. Think the lack of cats must of disturbed his sleep as he had a bit of a tantrum and simultaneously launched all his worldly possesions at my car
cue sharp exit!!

picked mine up from the dealer after a service, going through princes risborough and their was a family enjoying a nice stroll in the sunshine. dad turned round in his burberry baseball cap, oggling the car, so gave it a little bit of large, he was still transfixed at the car, shame he didn't notice that the wife had stopped with the push chair.
he then proceded to go striaght over the top, and empty the baby onto the pavement
aahhhhhh

I was on my way to pick up my daughter from Ripon Grammar yesterday when my phone rang. I pulled over to answer it opposite a Junior school where the kids were coming out. Cue lots of thumbs up and shouts of "nice car mister" and the next thing I knew some young lad had come over and was so excited he was trying to get in!
I suddenly had visions of what it looked like, pulled over in my sports car outside a junior school at home time talking to young boys.
I made my excuses and left rapidly!

Shortly after picking up car from new, went past 10-15 young(ish) ladies waiting to be picked up outside pub (hen nite etc). One jumped out in middle of road and lifted blouse/shirt. Not bad eh? But then the others all followed and did the same bearing all above waist. As I passed laughing/oggling etc, I looked in rear view mirror to see various cars all over the road behind me. The girls then covered up and started to stick two fingers up and hurl abuse at the other drivers. Preferential treament to the Tuscan driver eh?
I was picking wife up from gym and was telling her wot had happened only a few mins previously as we passed the girls getting on their coach. Wife did not believe me until the girls repeated their performance up against the coach window. Wife now thinks this is the only reason I have the Tuscan. Not the only reason but it helps!!!!!!
