hi

I'm the excited new owner of a 206CC and I love it (apart from the fact that the sun has NEVER shone since I got it so haven't had much of a chance to have the roof down).

It never occured to me that a 206CC was classed by many as a "womans car" or a 'hairdresser's car". I am already sick to death of people asking when I am starting my apprenticeship (for hairdressing) is going to start.

Out of interest are there many male owners of a 206CC on this forum?

Thanks Grandad. I don't know if you have confirmed my new found suspicions or not

I shouldn't worry larambla, there are plenty of male owners on this forum.

Good to have you with us.

Well the CC is making a comeback in South Africa and since i was one of the first people to own one here in SA i took a lot of heat for the proud new owners now.

I have always owned cars that get a lot of stick for being girly. I am 17+ stone and quite a large guy, but I have always liked lightweight and small cars.

I have said this before, but I find that most people go for cars that are opposite to there own physique. Most of my mates who are either short or small drive big cars. 4X4 pick ups or big saloons. I get some stick, but who cares, let people take the p!$$ if it makes them feel better. We all know who is having more fun.

Yep,

People are definitely jealous. I listen to people mocking and then watch them get into their boring 'grandad' cars.

I have no regrets getting the car and it is great fun to drive.

Thanks for the welcome and the replies everybody:D
