I was at the Tortworth vintage show today, blokey looks at the engine, "whats that?" it's a 2.4 Cosworth, "I had a 1600 E, put a twin choke carb on it, it did over 200 miles per hour !" I tried to look impressed!

I had a mate at work "my dad had a few mk1 and mk2 escorts, they are just the same car, ones got a boot, the others got a hatchback"..........

 

I've put this one on before. I had my 2.0 laser up for sale for £500 a few years ago

 

him £500 is ok, I'll take it

me thats cool

him glad its the laser, I got bad arm, I need power steering

me it aint got power steering

him well it should have, all 2.0 lasers had power steering

me I am in the NE capri club, a few lads have lasers, they dont have PAS

him well they should, last one I looked at did

me well this hasnt got pas

him oh thats a shame, I would have bought it if it did

i've had a few... its currently in the work shop... fully stripped ready to be painted, its just being welded...

 

 

this guy walks in, the bonnet is up, and there is CLEARLY no engine in there... "ooh a capri... what lump you got in it?" :shock::?:?

 

 

one that angered me was this...

 

knob "oh a capri, i used to have one of those."

me "every one says that"

knob "mmm. they're shit cars. but there good to look at. handle like shit."

me *thinking* i bet they handle better than that piece of shit plastic you just pulled up in!!!!

 

 

i hate it when people say get a new car... if i WANTED a new car i'd King HAVE ONE!!

 

 

EDIT: Also this one ALWAYS makes me chuckle... i'm 17 and when ever i'm talking about my car to people they go...

 

"oh a capri, is it a 2.8 or... ?"

"no. i'm 17. its a 1.6"

"they didn't do a 1.6 capri."

Where I used to live back in Wallington Surrey I had several OSF & other sporty cars over a period of a number of years & there was this bloke who would walk past first thing in the morning & later in the afternoon evening time & he used to ask about the cars I had every time I happened to be out tinkering & he became a bit of a pratt but I didn`t want to be rude so I would answer his ridiculous questions with as much stupidity as he would ask!

 

 

Bloke is that a Irish 2000 mate

Me no it was made in England

Bloke Is that one of them seewerra Woolworths

Me no pick & mix

Bloke is that one of those Mr bushy`

Me no Mitsubishi

Bloke thats what I said

He would refer to new cars as (I don`t like Brown new cars )

& he used to have a racing engine in his car once!

When I asked what car he said it was one of those Ribbon cars you know the one that only had 3 wheels

Me what you had a racing engine in a 3 wheeler what type of engine was it

Bloke I dunnow it had one of those shiny tops

Me whate a chrome rocker cover

Bloke no I`m not into that kind of music

I used to hide from him if I happened to see him coming but if I didn`t then it was 10 minutes or so of absolute Sh*te

I started to feel sorry for him & would change the subject & then he would lose interest & walk off.

Didn`t see much of him after that!

Oh well it takes alsorts to make the world go round

"you do know that those plates are illegal right?"

or

"those plates are only legal on a pre 73 car"

 

What's stupid about that? It's use of them willy nilly on cars that aren't eligible to have them that'll get them banned altogether and then no-one will be allowed them.

 

Me? I just let the stupid comments or questions go in one ear and out the other.

its not so much stupid as annoying, i know my plates are illegal but i dont care and i get fed up of being told about it

I get lots of - What is it mate? - understandable as its unusual.

 

someone thought it was a Firenza once - thought thats ok - can see the similarity

 

"Hey mate - Nice Manta - is it the Cosworth Engine" - that one was funny.

 

just point out that they have it wrong and then educate them.

 

Then Interrogate them

 

Then make sure they go home and have a look in the garage for old bits because they might still have some stuff left lol

I'll never tire of people having their photograph taken whilst shaking hands over the bonnet of my Mk2.........I mean its not like I did that when I bought it...... :lol::roll:

Its always funny how everybody who has ever 'had one of those' always has had the 3.0ltr the 3100 or the 2.8, its a wonder why ford bothered with the 1.3, 1.6 and 2.0.......

I also get things like 'thats got the wrong......' , yeah, thats kinda the point...... :roll:

This ent bout a Ford (well it is kinda) but still quite funny

 

 

My mum get soooo annoyed with this, its mostly when shes gettin petrol, the guy on the counter always says to her,

 

Guy: Thats Very nice!

Mum: Thank you.

Guy: Its a Mustang isn't it??

Mum: *Getting angry* No its not a f**kin Mustang!!

Guy: What is it?

Mum: Its a Dodge Challenger!

 

 

And another one my dad got,

 

Guy: Is tht your blue Mustang down there?

Dad: Ye thats my Blue CHARGER!

Guy: *Gets confused, goes quiet for a bit* Thats what i ment, still its very nice.

its not osf related but i did have to laugh when i was hearing stories at work about an old manager that worked there who came out with a lot of ridiculous sh1te, my favourite one being...

 

*Knobber* A guy i used to work with got both hands caught in a press a few years back. Flattened both hands it did!

 

*My Dad* Fook. I take it they had to amputate?

 

*Knobber* No he kept them. Worlds fastest swimmer now he is!

 

Apparrently the old boy got quite offended when everyone thought it was a joke!

 

:ugh: Where do these people come from??

Most times I stop for fuel in this you get " Nice car mate, how many gallons to the mile does that do? " :roll:

 

 

My Capri gets the "is it a 2 or a 3 litre?"

 

Reply " No it's a 5 litre" soon shuts them up! 8)
