Welcome to the world of the CC

think you'll find that there's more male than female drivers on here but when ya see a CC in the 'metal' then it's mostly a woman behind the wheel

hairdresser comments are made by people who are jealous as hell - just live with it

as lyndon says, most owners on here are probably male.

ello, another Dan here & male

The hairdresser comment is because its not a toy "just for the boys", and anyway its only the ladies i want looking at my car anyway

Let them comment. When you're driving with the top down, all eyes will be on you mate

Welcome to the World of CC mate.

Yeah I get all the comments from my mates too but I'm not the one sweating it out in the Summer!

Everyone always wants a lift from you when its a glorious summer day and the heat is up and your roof is down!

I've had all the hairdresser comments and gay car of the year references - there's two ways of taking it and I prefer the envy one! The CC is a wonderful car. Some here on the forum have had problems, but I've been lucky - a leak at the beginning (no, not through too many beers!) but that was corrected and it was trouble free since.

Almost 3 years on it's been a wonderful experience and I look forward to giving someone else the joy of my CC.

I've ordered a MINI Cooper S Cabrio for delivery in April (sigh - same waiting game as I did with my 206CC). This time I've taken a defensive position to all the comments about hairdressers, gay cars, etc....

My new licence plate is "NODDDY" - so just let someone call it a NODDY car and the only thing I can be corrected for is spelling!

Life is too serious. The CC is all about fun and enjoyment of driving. Never let anyone make you feel small because you have a small car. As I said, the comments that are made are most likely from envy - not just about the car but also about the person who drives it not being prepared to say "I don't want to conform, I want to have a good time"

I totally agree.

I had some guy verbally attack me calling my car a girlie car but having thought about it I said at least I have more imagination than to want to get a Honda Civic.

Excluding the Type R aren't Civic's boring compared to a CC?[/quote]
