Very true and good advice.
I get it alot in my TD Cortina, people either tailgate of can't wait to get past, mainly soccer mums and dads in suv's. I don't drive it hard but with a 6cyl manual in it I don't dawdle and have no worries keeping up with modern traffic.
I think it comes down to whether the person is a 'real' petrol head.
I had a guy in a VY Clubsport wind his window down and compliment my T1 a while back, caught me off guard, both the car he was in and the fact that he actually new what it was. Complimented him back and we both pulled away in a civilised, respectful manner.
Don't get me started on the Malloo ute up the road though, he gives it a boot load every time he comes past and sees me on the driveway working on the Mk1 Cortina, wtf?
