A guy asked me yesterday if mine was original, what does that mean btw? A real RS? Standard? All original body parts, paint etc? Anyway, i just said no, he said 'no i didnt think it was, those wings are an after market thing arnt they.' wtf?? i was expecting him to say about the cage or harneses or something! not the standard RS wings! T.I.T

 

thats the one i hate the most. best just tell them its an RS from now on

[JAY PS]

[john123]

an old boy in a petrol station asked me while i was filling up my cortina 1600e is that an old number plate on a new car i just smiled and at a show when i had just finished building the car i won best in show and was sitting in line to collect my plaque and someone came up to me and said you dont see many hillman hunters like that anymore

[surfingturnip]

 

 

Found the other one

 

 

 

the 70's was an interesting time filled with many a mind bending substance wasnt it in all honesty I do actually quite like that. 4 door FTW!

[Arched Escy]

Back when I had a 1300 xflow i told this plank that it was a 2.4 turbo (bonnet open) and he goes yea my uncle had one of them,they came from cortinas yeah?

 

Was in the shed talking to another guy who was adamant that RS2000 engines did not fit in anything else...then I opened the bonnet and had to go and get a picture of an RS engine bay from CF to prove him wrong

 

I've had nice mustang before aswell.

I usually get something like "Wow, look at that Capri", but just lately I've been sneered at for putting an RS front on a Mk2:

"No mate, it's a real RS"

"Can't be"

"Why not?"

"They're worth thousands - you wouldn't cut up a real RS"

 

No point talking chassis numbers with people who obviously know more about my car than I do....

 

 

....Still, it's a nice Capri

 

[4 door escort]

not really mistaking the car, little prat didn't even know what it was but he saw my rev counter and said

 

"blud, oh my gosh is that nitro?"

 

made me p!ss myself

[sambo]

I had a funny one the other day. I was on the drive working on the car and 2 kids come up and said "woah, do you race it mate?"

i said er... "yeah" kid says " wherebouts, essex arena?" me " er everywhere" trying to get rid of them, the other one says "do you banger race it?" me "er no mate, dont be stupid" kid says " i would" and they walk off!!!

 

swines!!

[Rick]

[baz105e]

the best one had got to be when im sitting @ the lights in the anglia, the tick over is shit coz i have fitted a cam. a group of chavs walk by laughing at my "rusty old sack of shit""sounds like a sewing machine" i then proceed to do a fat rolling burnout and leave them in my smoke. the next day the mrs was in toscos and 2 of these lads came up to her and said "ur baz's mrs arnet you", "umm yer" replies the mrs, "that cars King rapid innit. i bet its worth like ten grand innit". the mrs just laughed and walked away lol

 

im also sick of every King bloke over the age of 35 saying i used to have one of these. " really mate ? how King interesting lol

[Stu_B]

Does look a bit vauxhally don't it

 

I still like it though!

[shaun1.6ghia]

i believe anyone that owned a ford escort owned a rs2000,

as so many people seem to have had one. even tho they think my 4door 1600 ghia is one, or a mexico. there must have been millions of rs2000's cant believe that there isnt so many on the roads now as there was so many..

 

i've had "nice mexico" followed by "i used to have a mexico"

and "nice escort, i had a rs2000".

while in halfords i ask for something escort related (cnt remember what) an the kid points to maximusprime's mk1 fezza an sais "what that escort?"

idiots!!

Erm its a 1300preX flow with a Turbo I answered, only to hear him telling his mates the same 30 seconds later, cant help but smile

i recently had some Bloke in SETyres telling me that the laser wheels on my capri are RS alloys and they shouldnt be on my capri, theyre for an escort, mine should have 205/60's i sed no thats 2.8s mate this is a laser, he wouldnt hav it!

[mk2dk]

A guy once told me about his extreme fast mk4 Escort 1.3L. It had a Cosworth Whaletail look a like rear spoiler and the bloke said that when it hits 200 km/h, the spoiler made 16 tons of down force and the car was like glued to the road. I just had one comment - thats one hell of a rear spoiler

[Retro-gone.]

i get sick to f*ck with people tellin me 'its got the wrong wheels on', i get really nasty with em somtimes an say somethin like '' ITS GOT THE WRONG WHEELS ON FOR WHO??

 

but the best one is... my dad had a cortina , or... i had one of those, a D-reg, i say ' that would be a mk3, ... no no no, definately a mk1.

 

dickheads.

 

if they know what they are talkin about i dont mind standing and chattin.
