A kid commented on my car today saying it was 'fat'.

I was about to take offence to this when I realised it was a compliment!

It seems that fat or 'phat' as I believe they spell it, is a new word for cool.

Pass me the chocolate! :-D

The yoof of today eh?!

he should learn never to tell a girl anything of theirs is 'phat' cause it will ALWAYS be taken wrong at least at first. :wink:

Are you sure he was talking about the car :twisted:

by **TStevens** » Tue 28.02.2006, 19:26

My cars also been called "Bear" lately. Which is the same as "Phat"

From an interview with Peter Stevens: -

When asked if there is anything in his career that he regrets, the Elan is cited once more: "I would narrow the rear end (it always looks to have a fat bum) and put back the two inches in the wheelbase that our engineers removed in error. Apparently, they even sabotaged Lotus's computer design system so that the then Lotus boss Michael Kimberley would not discover their blunder, which made it impossible to add a two-plus-two version to the range."

But I'd lay off the chocky just in case...

Yeah, I guess he could have been commenting on my feet...

Some of my favourite comments about me Elan...

"WOW! Nice car! ...Er, what is it?"

"I like them Elans. They have a 2.5 litre V6..."

"Thats not a H plate car mate, I'm telling you..."

And my personal favourite...

"Quick!? My Renault Espace is f**king quick, mate!"

Renault Megane - so Lotus ahead of its time yet again.

Think most car owners think the Elan has a fat bum, because thats all they see of it, dissapearing away from them !

Tell me, now be honest, does my bum look big in this?

A no win scenario.

In support of Stef's rear end which I have seen -and considering she is "one of the boys" I thought it was in really good shape.

You've seen her rear end then :lol:

by **Stef** » Fri 03.03.2006, 22:44

Err...

by **Paul.P** » Fri 03.03.2006, 23:15

Don't worry Stef, there's nothing wrong with your rear end, nothing to be embarrassed about anyway, just dirty old men ( Gary ) passing comment.

From the posts, I would venture Stef's sexiest part is between her ears. ;-)

How sweet

I personally think that the vast expanse of void in my skull is what makes me speshul too :wink:

Young guy in town last Sunday had a chat with me, new every thing about cars then asked me if Lotus was still producing in ITALY!

Does he know something I dont?

by **Stef** » Mon 06.03.2006, 16:58

Yeah. He knows that the world is flat and Bob Marley is still alive

by **Fubar1764** » Mon 06.03.2006, 17:55

Yeah, we all know the world is shaped like a burrito.
