How often do you hear that when someone sees you with your Mark VIII for the first time? It's been two weeks with my 95 LSC, and I'm continually asked what my "new" car is. My next door neighbor rolls up and says, "WTF IS that thing? I've been staring at it for a WEEK now!!" She then expresses her amazement that it's a 95 and not a 2000 something. Many people find it hard to believe that the car is approaching 9 years old.
Everyone where I work had to come see this car as they had no idea what a Mark VIII was. Upon seeing it, many just "had to get in it" and commence touching the interior...??? As soon as each person has seen it, they have emphatically expressed their positive impression of the car. I had one gal offer me a grand more than I'd paid for the car, wanting to buy it. Someone last night found out the story behind my getting the car and declared he was going to get rid of his newish Toyota truck.
It's very strange watching the reactions of people to this apparently mysterious and strange vehicle.
Have you had similar reactions from others? I just find it interesting that no one knows what they are, but they seem to like it quite a bit as soon as they get to know the car. The first week I had it, I was having to give tours of the vehicle at work, take people for rides. It was weird.
