My experience is that occasionally people ogle at it in an amused but usually an appreciative way; people drive up my arse more often than I used to experience and try dodgy overtaking manoeuvres- I assume this is just because I drive sensibly in a big box and it bugs the rocket riders. I really enjoy driving it and its a great practical bus with dogs, grandkids and materials. Fast its not but I find it a comfortable, reliable drive which I really enjoy. Fair dues, I generally work at home so its just a weekend drive not a commuter (I have my wifes car for that if I need it) and I only do about 5000 miles a year.

I occasionally get to Exeter to meet stepdaughter so you might see a white Tors once in a while. Very rarely see any nowadays, though oddly I did see a couple in about three weeks back in the summer, but none since.
