ozy Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 am stealing this from the classic z car club. have you ever found yourself driving about to either see or be stopped by bystanders thinking your z is a porsche. once i was passing through navan town and (since i only got the z, was driving with the windows down, looking for reactions) saw 3 teenagers looking at me. i think i heard them, but i "lip read" the word porsche, as in, look at that porsche. i thought it was funny anone else get this. there seems to be plenty of this on the other site...but that is largely american based...
