Why not politely ask a couple of them if they would like a spin in it ( YOU DRIVING OF COURSE ).

Once they are strapped up....bloody floor it!!!Once they get out walking with their jelly legs i bet you won't get that hastle again .

I got grief about my fully striped car at work when I first got it. Took it for a while and then one day heading off home from work I took off down the road (wasn't even pushing it to full power) to get home in a hurry.

Didn't realise but overtook some peeps from work who came to see me the next day with "didn't realise quite how quick your car was..... what engine has it got in it?"

Our course the only real response was "its just a Fiesta with stripes"

thats what everyone thin a fiesta with stripes on! until u rev ur car and leave them very far away!!
