Gah an example of people's nastyness.

Did my first long distance commute in the Omega today. Really really happy as I arrived fresh and not tired and annoyed like in the Focus. Cruise control and climate are awesome. Sounds really nice when giving it some beans from the toll booth

Since I had just had my first long distance run I thought I would give it the once over during lunch.

Quickly popped the bonnet and checking the fluid levels as I had just done 240 odd miles as my first commute. Since I was doing nothing during lunch and it was light seemed like an ideal time. Within 30secs (I kid you not) I get this from about 5 people in a row...

"Broken it already, haw haw"
"Nope I'm checking the fluid levels as I've just done my first long distance commute in it."

Repeat this about 5 times and it starts to piss you off. It's not said in nice joking way either, it's a sly little dig for them.

Then just as I finish I get another "broken it" joker. This one tries to show off to his mate
"I bet that's a diesel!"
"No it's a V6 petrol"
I then get glared at and he walks off.

Quite surprised by this really. I do like the car but it's an Omega, it's not like I splashed loads on a Audi or something. It's a big car I suppose and not really a young 20 something motor which I suppose is their problem. This is one time I'm glad I can park in the disabled bays at work, I get the impression I would have some dents in the doors appear while at work

Nice eh?
