We've got Christmas temps at work, one of them was not impressed by the Panda,
I am starting to wonder what is the matter with your colleagues.
When I first got my panda, the banter lasted about 2 weeks (did it come with pedals, did you wash it and it shrunk, do you stick your arm out of the window to brake, I would not be seen dead in that, etc...) After that, everyone was used to it. Had its place in the car park. While I have owned it, several people that took the p*** out of my car, ended up asking me for a lift while their modern car was in the garage waiting for an eye-watering expensive part to turn up from Germany, Japan or whatever.
One of the guys had a BMW 330i. Nice car, until it started snowing... another one begging for a lift. Should have seen his face, when the panda took him all the way to his front door with summer tyres only (lives on steep-ish hill)
A young apprentice got himself a new Mini
yuck
, got it on finance, and now he can't even afford lunch or a Friday night drink to keep up his monthly payments. Who is the mug, eh?
Now my Panda stands proud in the car park and everyone respects it one way or another; I still get the odd remark, but I know how to put them back in their place...
Just tell them, you have the pandaism syndrome and unfortunately there is no cure at present time
