Because those that are affording proper track day cars/kit cars are those living on benefits.. oh wait, no they're not, they're the middle class looking for thrills at weekends.
From my experience; i reguarly have a fairly middle class business owner who regularly chats to me about my car with keen interest, and on the contrary, many of the locals, not the classiest of people, despise and often complain about it.
And middle class snobs? /facepalm. Don't get me started on classifying society.
Heh, always trying to start beef where the isn't any. What a clown.

That's the thing though, I'm not fuming. I was just reciting how I felt at the time.

if I did get some comments like that, I wouldn't be arsed at the end of the day your saving your self a few quid.
one lad who used I used to work with, always said that the HDI was f*cked or something, laugh was it was called a service. if the odd time the car needed something replacing, I used to say, well the car has done a lot more miles than yours and its older too. He would take his car to Renault to be fixed.
Heh, I have an old guy who seems to *try* to wind me up, but in a subtle way. He says "Wow, you must be a really good car mechanic by now" whenever he walks past. I want to snap at him but he never gives me the opportunity. I have just ignored him in the past though
