atomic-cortina Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 Really getting on my nerves now. It seems everyone I talk to about my interests thinks I'm gay for not liking sports and an old man for liking old cars! I can't understand what people have against people being a bit different I'm sure I'm not the only one. Nothing is going to change my views on retro stuff though!
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 I still get stick now mate, but if we were all the same, it would be a very boring world. Just rise above it and tell them they're gay for NOT liking old cars.
over_head_cam Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 BTW I love the estate. Cool as fook I've just had a quick flick through your thread on your forum, nice work
Slammed Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 i am building a xflow and my mum thinks i am mad but me and dad are sticking to our guns
RS264 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 cop it all the time as well. From the old man, who should know better! Water off a duck's back! I reckon they are jealous 'cause I have a better car! And faster too!
V8ian Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 Cant do it dont want to do it, dont know how to do it, So their option is abuse, ignoramus is a word that fits 99% of them, I just tell them to F_U_C_K OFF, Funny thing, they never seem to argue with me after that, they are not worth bothering about,
over_head_cam Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 Ignorance and stupididty are what lead people to ridicule and question our passion
Rick Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 i visited my nan last week and she was talking outside to an old lady when i parked up who said "look at this stupid old banger" my nan explained that id come to see her haha and the old lady bought me some cake as an apology
sab6024 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 I get it all the time off people my age but the only people I don't get it off is my oldies at work. They love the Capri and many of them dig out old photos of their cars so I can have a look at what they had in the past. One of my past patients had photos on his wall of a yellow Mk1 Escort, we would stand chatting for ages about cars and stuff
atomic-cortina Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Posted June 7, 2008 Thanks guys! BTW I love the estate. Cool as fook I've just had a quick flick through your thread on your forum, nice work Cheeers It's my dad's car really, he's in the process of moving closer to me (Colchester) now so I will be alot more involed with it. Thanks for looking at my forum, getting members is proving a bit tricky at the moment but there is already so many sites out there. It's a good laugh though!
Anglia68 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 When people take the piss out of me having an Anglia I agree with them but explain that because I have an old driving licence,one of the green ones,that I'm only allowed to drive old cars. It's surprising how many people believe me.
Smudger105e Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 When Baz seized the Anglia a few weeks back, we were sitting waiting for the AA and a guy in a Pug 106 had the fooking nerve to shout 'serves you right for driving a shit car!'. I think he should have looked at himself a bit first!

I think he should have looked at himself a bit first! in 5 years his 106 will be catfood tins and doormats. The Anglia will live on
c1arke Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 am 19 and have a mk1 and everyone i tell goes wow cause their classics and all i want to do is go sideways in it and they cant do that in there cars. and you can say its an investment anyone on hear know of a OSF losing value (except from rust) and as my dad says it doesn't pay for us all to be the same

mk1rob Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 i visited my nan last week and she was talking outside to an old lady when i parked up who said "look at this stupid old banger" my nan explained that id come to see her haha and the old lady bought me some cake as an apology How can anyone think your cars an old banger!? yeah its old but its not even close to a banger lol. Still, if you got cake out of it, its worth it
surfingturnip Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 quite a lot. When I mentioned to a mate that I was after a car from the 70's they asked if I expected it to even be running anymore

Tracey Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 Yes get it off some younger people who really don't appreciate classic cars, all they think is "That's an old heap of shite". I find the older people always give it the when your out in it though.

Mr.Sumo Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Must admit i"ve never had a bad word said about the Wagon , the did however ask quite a few times how i could afford to run the Go In Harder though when i had that Best feeling is when your sat at some lights and the passenger of the car next to you is looking and nudging there driver , giving them the " look at that " type thing ... love it
