Stupid and annoying things people say...

[Rick]

i get told im wasting my time by a bloke at work.

 

he'l dissagree with anything i say or tell him.

 

he said 'personally i think your wasting your time on an escort you should have done something that will be worthwhile like a triumph 2000.....'

 

i keep telling him escorts go for thousands these days but he wont have it

[Daggle]

I had a little play with some chavs in a Corsa, after showing him how to drive I got...

 

"Is it turbo'ed"

 

"You should convert it to 4 wheel drive mate"

 

Twat

[Dalek]

I had some idiot TELL me that my Anglia was an Escort

 

Oh and the usual "i learned to drive in one of those"... gawd knows how many times...

[Arched Escy]

This one is just plain stupidness,but....

 

Back when the Escort was bog standard apart from the RS4 spokes,we had it for sale (cos we were going to buy a 2.1 Pinto'd Mex),anyway guy walks in the shed,checks the car over,"Whats the least you'll take?" he says,"5" I say.....he walks out of the shed,comes back in with €550 and says "Theres €50 extra there".."No mate,I meant 5 grand."..."It's not worth that,I had a Mk5 and I only got €950 when I sold it last year" he says..."PISS OFF"was the reply.

[Arched Escy]

That reminds me.Someone once said Found On Rubbish Dump.I laughed and said " So what?"

[sab6024]

When I first bought the capri a guy asked me what my 2.8 is like to drive. I said ok but it only fires on four cylinders. He said why is that? I replied, it's only got four cylinders it's a 1600......muppett

 

Also had a guy looking around it when I was filling it up once. Got a big gold Duchy Capri Club sticker in the back window and the guy asks. It's nice, what is it? I said it's a Capri. He said, oh I used to have one of these!

 

I think they think I'm stupid or I borrowed it off the boyfriend

[Noodles]

I had one guy when I used to work in halfords who would always come in a buy loads of crap for his corsa. see him at the petrol station out of work in the escort, he come over "Alright mate didnt know you had one of these" points at a small rust spot "gotta bit of rust there" No really? good job he didnt see the rest

[escort21]

Had a guy chat to me today when i was pissing about in the engine, he said "i bet you never get any work done on that as people are always talking to you" ...yeah no shit sherlock

[badchild]

Im 19 and i just fooking hate it when some pr*ck says 'you shouldnt have got an escort, you should have got a nice wee corsa or something'

 

Just last night I had some tinker lol say to me he had a street ka that ford and ferrari came together to make, 1.6 turbo! a fella opened the bonnet and said 'wheres the turbo?' he replied 'did they not put it in?

 

But right nuff the same fella said he walked into a shop one day and said he met a fly coming out with a slice of bacon in its mouth!

 

GIVE ME STRENGTH!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone knows it stands for

First On Race Day!!

 

Couple of great comments about my car:

 

Them: "At least you didn't cut up a real RS"

Me : "I did.....it is...."

 

 

and

 

Them: "Nice Capri mate. I had one of those"

Me : "Well you didn't look at it very f*cking closely did you?"

 

and

"Why have you got a camera on the bonnet" (?)

 

[dssean]

When people see my mk1 with the roll cage and bits they always say" you gonna race it ?"

" yeah you know the odd track day and hopefully a hill climb or two " is usually my reply

then comes the question that usually gats a few swear words as an answer" you gonna race it at wimbledon?"

"fu*$ING WIMBLEDON ???YOU TWAT , DOES IT LOOK LIKE A BLOODY BANGER RACER ? INFACT DONT ANSWER THAT JUST PISS OFF!!!!!!"

So now i have the garage doors firmly closed.

[bmxdave]

Everyone learnt to drive in my Triumph.

 

Its always a Herald, and any that know its a Vitesse think that it has a 2.5, although it clearly says Vitesse all over it, and theres about 5 2 litre badges.

 

Also had one lad ask if my Dads mk2 tina sounds like a subaru and if my mk1 is 4wd.

 

I was once having a conversion with a friend, talking about a sunny gti-r when some git butted in thinking he knew everything. When i mentioned it was 4 wheel drive he didnt even know what i meant, and it took 15 minutes explaining to him what 4 wheel drive meant.

[Potter]

I drive an old shit heap Mini ( really into Minis got about half a dozen of em) and people are always telling me I should spray it. I always reply "Why,so I have to worry about you banging your car door into it"

 

I also get "You should throw all that junk away and buy a modern car"

I used to swear bucketloads at that but now I just turn and walk as far away as possible.

SOme people will never understand.

not osf i know but the one that p1sses me off the most is when your washing your car you get"you'll make it rain or do you want to do mine" are these people that inept that they can no longer say good morning or how are you.

just recently i showed my aunt my mk1 cortina you couldnt imagine the things ive done in one of those she said and then started to tell me(block it out jif block it out)

we should all be safe in the knowledge that these morons who seem to know more about our cars then we ever will and have owned ever one in the range or tell us to sell them and buy a newer one have no soul and should be banished from society.

[Anglia68]

I gave up years ago trying to put people right about what my Anglia is so now I just agree with whatever shite they come out with.It's quicker that way.

 

Whenever some tit tells me to get a new car I tell them I can't because I've only got an old licence and I don't want to take my test again.They believe me too.

[285Andy]

usual ones are "are you going to race it?" question. or when i was building it i got asked what im going to do with it.... ermm drive the FOOKIN THING.. jeez! or "you should stick a pinto in it mate" no mate! seeing as its MY car, i'll fit what I like. you go do your own

 

happy days eh

[caprinerd]

Knob; your just winding me up, is it a 2 litre?

Me; NO ITS A 1300 I PUT THE WHEELS ON AS I LIKE THEM THATS ALL
