Youth of today.

[DAZZA]

Guy in a chavved up Golf pulled up next to the 100E in the petrol station and said .........

 

 

......"Nice Beetle mate"!

 

 

That means to the untrained eye my car looks like a bug..... goes like one at the moment actually (stand by with those spanners WPE!).

 

Someone must of had an equally stoooopid comment about their car..... come on...... ive owned up.

[richie_stix]

no stupid comments... all i ever hear is 'my dad used to have one of them' or 'i had one of them when i was your age' (referring to my mk3 capri) often followed by 'it was like shit off a shovel' (a saying i never really got cos wet shit would stick to a shovel?)

 

anyway, get plenty of 1ltr-1.4ltr chav motors try to out drag me at the lights but they soon know there place!

 

also, some little shit on a scooter was revving his engine to show off to his scooter mates at some lights, so i floored the pedal and drowned out his hair dryer, he hung his head in shame and stopped pissin about!

[rs new boy]

I had a guy ask me if it was a toyota and a guy asked if it was a capri

[escort21]

In reference to my 1600e i got 'i had one of them...it was a 2000e'.....i said 'oh right...'...they never made a 2l mk2..

[ZetecVan 2.0]

Whilst videoing an Anglia Owners Club day out (I'd got out while the cars drove past me down the main street in Haworth) I overheard someone say 'Ooh look at all these Triumph Heralds'....

[jed]

Had my 105e out and two boys asked (is that an austin mate) WTF

[mr zefect]

Same here i had some one say thats a austin.

[bigglesmk2]

Door to door sales man saw the mk2 escort and said "I used to have a capri just the same,i love capris me ".

[jonlarks]

I've had people call my 100e an austin! Don't mind too much though. Its cool to be different I think!

[johnny_h]

Mines a mustang apparently.

[jamesg]

when im out in the capri i tend to get guys in their 40's or 50's giving me their life story of "when they used to have a capri". so funny.

 

the best is when older women look at the car with a look that says "i got shagged in one of those"!

[Chris!]

someone asked if our mk3 cortina gxl was a ferrari

[Guest MK1gaz]

Mines a mustang apparently.

[Conor]

Well it's always astounded me how many young kids know what a Capri is. Mine is completely debadged apart from the Ford on the grille so there's no clues.

 

I've yet to have a kid come up and give the wrong answer.

[bmxdave]

I lost count of how many people learnt to drive in a herald when i had the vitesse, i had to explain i didnt have a herald.

 

Then when i had the cortina everyone told me how they had a 1600e. It seems noone ever owner anything less. Its wierd the way theres loads of deluxes but no e's even though noone had deluxes. I think they wanted an e but didnt have one.

 

No stupid comments in the pop yet, although everyone in work said it looks like a noddy car.

 

I had some bell on a motorbike revving up in the middle of a busy beach area type thing trying to show off. So i floored it right onto the limiter. No pocket rocket is going to out decibel a 2.1 pinto with no silencers and a side exit. He quickly stopped revving up, at which point a young lad pointed at him, laughed, then shouted 'youve just been had off mate'. Really made my day that did.

Youre not going to believe this, i had a 70 Mach1 Mustang about five years ago, had the garage doors open one day and the window cleaner said

 

"whats that you've got in there an Escort"

 

Ok the bonnet was off it at the time but ..........

 

Was cleaning my old silver Capri 3.0 Ghia in the drive one day and a young guy comes over

 

"nice Capri mate" cheer's i said "it says 3.0 at the back" he said with a puzzled look on his face, yes i said, "is that a bored out 2.8" he asked, no i said, it's a three litre, have you ever seen the professionals, "what's that" he asked ................

[72mk1escort]

Someone asked me if my car was a morris marina

 

[radar tech]

Someone asked me if my car was a morris marina

 

probably coz of the colour. when i think of marinas i always think green

[NginEEr]

Ive had the mustang sentance as well and when i told the kids it wasnt they argued back at me saying it was I think i know what my own car is

[smiffy]

Had my mk1 fiesta out on the drive the other day and some spotty little erchin said "nice golf mate"

[Chris!]

Ive had the mustang sentance as well and when i told the kids it wasnt they argued back at me saying it was I think i know what my own car is

but do you??? it may be a mustang afterall

[Lukey]

I had some bloke yelling ' NICE CAR MATE' from the car behind whilst in Mcdonalds drive thru today. I was like, yeah I know, thanks.............what do you say then?

[shaun1.6ghia]

i was in halfords and was asking for parts for my mk2 ford escort 1.6 ghia

and he said he didn't know what brake line was, then went to the front doors where "the guy that knew" would be. he then looked outside to see maximus primes mk1 fiesta (with him in the driving seat) an said " is that it mate?"............ to which i replied "no thats a fiesta"..

 

and had every young guy start a conversation with "whats that mate",

leadin on with "bet there int many of those about anymore", then "my dads got one, an my brtothers got ten, my mums got fifteen, an i got a mint one with forrest arches an 3.5 litre an everything".

 

idiots....

[steve mk2]
