Parked my outside uni and went about my daily business only to be told by a friend at night that some of the people on my course had been looking at my car and laughing at it because it has "go faster stripes". This really annoyed me!! How cheeky!

Some people just have no clue! Oh just encase your wondering i only have side stripes!

The swines- each stripe is worth 20bhp!! Don't they know anything?? ;-)

Probably just jealous so I wouldn't worry- I had a Fiat Cinquecento when I was at college, that was something to laugh about! :-)

Yes it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. As long as you like them then keep them on!

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"
