I dont know what it is about the 5 but it seems to get loads of attention and respect from people compared with other cars i have owned, last summer i parked the car at a petrol station next to a red ferrari (dont know which they all look the same to me) and a white lambo, upon coming out of the garage there is a crowd round the 5 and a couple of miffed looking rich guys,
also had a group of kids in hoodies come up to me in a carpark, thankfully they werent on the rob just wanted to tell me how cool the car was,
then a couple of days ago i replied to a post on a fiesta forum for mk1&2's i go on about what cars you have

loads of nice and pretty rare cars on there but the only one getting loads of comments is my 5,
any of you get similar interest in your cars, i find it quite bizzare that a car that was common place a few years ago gets so much interest
