mk1super Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 For buying a classic ford at the garage by two boy racers one had a Subaru the other a nissan 200 thing with big wing on the back. Said i should read about cars not fosils
sambo Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Losers. Did you tell them to stop being sheep? I bet they dont know a thing about mechanicals and the workings of a car. Anyone can just get a loan and buy a fast car from the box. Twats.
Mr2Caps Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Well said, any one can buy a fast modern, but you learn nothing about driving from it, by and large it will sort your mistakes out for you! If you really want to learn to drive, get a car without all the electronic aids, four wheel drive, abs, traction control etc. If osf's were fossils why do the top rally drivers jump at the chance to get back in an escort for example? Rather drive my capri than a rice rocket with 1/2 tonne of tupperware stuck to it!
sambo Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Thats what annoys me. They think they are car enthusiasts but know nothing. If you asked them what the compression ratio is or even what a con rod looks like, they wouldnt have a clue. All they know about is body kits and bloated HP figures.
tash105e Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Well said we get it all the time were we live does my head in
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 id have shouted abuse at them tossers
Noodles Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Im always a bit funny about people that know nothing about cars and I think training and a test should be part of getting your lisence, I see it that I trust my life with that object I wanna know how it bloody works! As for the boy racers more people will prefer your car trust me.

Couldn't agree more, just finished mirror polishing my con rods so they flow more air when on top of my carbs, just going to measure the deflection in suspension so I can work out the compression ratio, then I'm off to the rolling road to see if my 2.1 pinto makes more than the 650BHP it did last month!

Mr Sam Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Did you punch them in the face i can just see you downing some chav in a petrol station

So he doesn't know about modding the front bumper by cutting up two plastic storage crates from the pound shop and sticking them on with gaffer tape?, if done right its worth at least 0.5 of a second off the 0-60
escortmad79 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Should've pointed out the fact that your car turns more heads than their pieces of crap for all the right reasons, yours will continue to go up in value whereas theirs will only depreciate, your car is built to last whereas theirs will be bean cans & plastic toys by the time it's 35 years old! If yours is tax exempt then you can also point out that you enjoy hooning around tax free for 12 months instead of having to fork out £200+ for the pleasure too
Admin Mk2Jo Posted July 15, 2009 Admin Report Posted July 15, 2009 Hmmm, lots of anger management issues I think here Just ignore them - simples
Boreham Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 ye should have told them... the last time ye seen a wing like that... it was on an advert for "Maxi pads"

mk1super Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Posted July 15, 2009 To be honest i was shocked, ive never had that kind of thing happen before.
Fishtailparka Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 your car is built to last Are you serious? Fords were rusting as they came out of the factory. I remember someone buying a Mk1 Escort brand new and scrapping it after 4 years as it had almost completely dissolved. Mk3 Cortinas were reknowned for being rust buckets. It is only by pure miracle and idiots like me that are prepared to weld some new metal back to the few bits that haven't disintegrated that there are any old Fords left.

over_head_cam Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 You know they're just tards m8. Just feel safe in the knowledge that in 10 minute their cars will have depreciated another weeks McDonalds wages
morcheen Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 i'm sure the law allows you to stab them in the eye they sound like they were on the run from the local nuthouse
