"I love your 993!"

How do you respond? You're sitting in your 964, just leaving the pub, when a chap who is clearly appreciative rocks up on his motorbike and says "I love your 993."

My wife thought I should correct him but I didn't want to reward his enthusiasm with a lesson in classic aircooled silhouettes.

So I gave him a thumbs up, said thanks, and rumbled out of the car park.

What would you have done?!
 
I would have driven over his Honda Davidson :mrgreen:
 
It was obviously a compliment :grin:

Give him a slap with your 964 Owners Handbook and tell him that you dare not take your 993 out of the garage for fear of reducing its value ... :grin:

Here's the thing, I'd rather someone show interest and compliment the car and get it wrong rather than showing no interest.

Totally agree - my earlier remark was flippant, as I'm sure you realised.

My 964 regularly attracts some complimentary comments at the petrol station.
 
I would take it as a compliment. Has anybody seen any 993 to 964 back-date projects yet?

No point throwing money away Mark, just ask for 964 money and pocket more ;)

Your beard must have been needing a trim mate :grin:
 
Has your 964 been left out in the rain?

I only ask, as a 993 is basically the soap-on-a-rope version of the 964 (albeit with more advanced suspension).
