quote 'is that an ST?' from a lass at a cruise

[loudpunto]

Whilst on my way to park up at a cruise (dodging people) i had the window down and i heard a girl ask her boyfriend 'is that an ST?' pointing at my car!! i felt both insulted and rather proud that my 1.2 could be considered to be a 2.0!

but seriously are some girls that daft???? it looks nothing like one!

Below is a picture of my car

Its the stripes that confused her...

 

[vtec]

I wouldnt call her stupid just coz she's not a car nut, i mean i doubt your a perfume or makeup nut and she wouldnt call you stupid for that,.lol.,

GP ST

kind of has a ring to it, then again it also sounds like a sexually transmitted disease.

I reckon GP's are one of the best looking cars on the road.
I want one...but I couldn't fit all my kids in it
Maybe I can persuade the missus to get one :devil:

 

[ChrisUK]

screw the bloody kids get a roof rack :devil:

 

[RichDoblo120]

I have threatened to put them in the roofbox before :devil:

 

[jamie86]

That's a bit extreme isn't it

The straight spokes look quite Ford like.

Invert the colours and she wasn't far off...

actually they're bloody similar, then again they should be, its 2007 and they're in the same class. what kind of company would dare to be original these days.

 

[Ffoxy]

I dont disagree just Perish the Thought lol!

 

[vtec]

actually they a VERY similar in that last pic, defo cant blame the girl for that mistake, in fact fair play to her far even making the connection.,lol

 

[Munkul]

they are both very nice cars, i wouldnt feel THAT insulted, although i would still have a punto with the same amount of power as the ST

 

[Helz]

From some of the pics, the styling isn't too dissimilar and at least she's trying. I defy most male car nuts to tell the difference between Vidal Sassoon and Nicky Clarke straighteners from a quick glance in the dark

 

[loudpunto]

but theres a massive FIAT badge on the back?! but yeah i do wish it had as much power as an ST. my girlfriend isnt a car nut but she just laughed when she heard this girl. granted there were a couple of STs at the cruise.

 

[H2DaE]

The Fiat badge could be mistaken for a Ford badge in the dark at a glance tbh

Like Helz Said at least the lass is tryin, i bet you 9 out of 10 girls prob wouldnt even know what an ST is let alone know the features enough to mistake a similar car for one at a passing glance. Good on her i say its time to stop doing up our girlfriends cars for them and let them do it themselves.
Lets face it women tend to understand style and accesorisation a lot more than us blokes so they have a lot to show us when it comes to car mods. I think that we have exhausted many things like door stacks and the same old body kits. I think we need a womans touch.
