How cheeky is this?
I have the 1275GT out in the front garden at the moment.
I was upstairs and spotted a guy walking past the house wheeling his kid in a buggy.
Next thing he slows down and has a good look in over the wall.
Then he leaves the buggy out on the path and walks into the garden and walks all around the GT having a good look.
I was just going to go out to him, when he turned around and left.
Whatever about having a look going past, I thought it was a bit cheeky to come in for a wander around!

Are you sure it wasn't Diarmuid Gavin admiring your choice of garden ornament?

cheeky, yes: complimentary, very much so!
I often get assistance and advice from perambulating pedestrians when working on the car.
there is something deeply non-threatening about a mini that turns everyone into kids. its great!
