funny car related arguments/stories

[Copey]

Well today i went shopping in tesco and parked the capper in my normal fashion, white line down the middle of the car, and when i was coming back to the car a doris was getting out of her car and goes to me,

 

"thats very inconsiderate parking"

 

to which i replied

"frankly my dear i don't give a damn"

 

to which she started to laugh, i then looked over at her car and went "and it may be inconsiderate, but at least its straight!"

 

she stopped laughing then...hehehe

 

anyone else got any funny arguments/stories to share?

My missus and i were in a car park in Felixstowe, we'd just done a bit of shopping and had a walk along the prom. (she thought it was romantic, truth is i was looking for fishing marks hahaha) Anyway, as we were walking back to our car there was this old gal in a brand new mini cooper s with the union jack on the roof. really smart looking car but this old dear was having a hell of a time getting out of her space which, frankly, you could have got a bus through. Of course the missus and i giggled and passed comments to each other of how an old coffin dodger shouldnt have bought it etc (she must have been 90 if she was a day). When she finally got out of her space, she headed for the exit and she had to drive past us. Which she did....with her middle finger in the air. HAHAHAHA. I just cracked up on the spot at the sight of this frail old gal flipping the bird

tesco car park, parked in disabled bay(naughty i know) waiting for my mrs. bloke comes over shouting and hollering. told him politely to go forth and multiply, to wich he took offence. ???? i had to get out of the car wich didnt please me so i grabbed the false leg out off the back seat and chased him with it shouting ill show you disabled you w****R. not that i am. the leg belonged to a mate, he bought it in a boot sale to play pranks with.

Had an RAC man out to the crewbus. The brakes were strtcking on the back, so we expected just a tow home. No! The patrolman who came out insisted on jacking the thing up (no axle stands mind!) and putting it in gear. On doing that, he diagnosed the diff as being shagged, cos only one pair of wheels were going round. . Er, it's supposed to be like that mate.... Turned out it was the brake shoe liner that had come adrift. After he offered to superglue it back on, we got a tow home.....

Had a guy at a petrol station insist my escort was an anglia, even when i pointed out the escort badge on the back he swore blind that it was an anglia and that the previous owner "Had ripped me off by sticking that escort badge on it!" "And it pi55e5 me off to see young lads ripped off like this!" He got well angry i was biting my tougue trying not to laugh

I went to see Fast & Furious 3 Tokyo Drift in the cinema with my best mate (also a car nut) when it was released & we had 2 blokes sit on her side. All the way during the film the 2 blokes were saying "ooh nice cars" all the way through

 

When the Evo came on screen they said "nice Evo 6" to which we both laughed & explained it was an Evo 9. When the Mustang got rebuilt with the RB26 engine they couldn't tell what type of Mustang it was - I think it embarrased them that they were being told it's a GT500 by a girl!

 

We laughed our arses off when we got out the cinema!

I've had one ar*eh*le on Sainsbury's petrol station trying to tell me that the mk1 xr2 has the CVH engine fitted as standard not the crossflow . I just looked him up and down, then told him to "F**k off"! .. Wasn't having a good day that day (stressed with work). I'm not normally that abrupt, but i just couldn't be arsed trying to communicate with a dick......

Was doing an Exhibition in Paris, it included some shows in some 5 star hotels just by the French Prime Minister's official residence.

 

Get out days are always mad, wall to wall vans and the French jumping ques, very stressed.

 

Now earlier that week, one of the drivers had picked up a Canadian girl, and offered her a lift. She was in the van with me, and there was literally nowhere to park, apart from outside said Prime Minister's house. After about 5 minutes, an armed policeman came over literally waving his gun.

 

He was screaming at me to move, but by this stage I had just about had enough, and the French went out the window. I looked him square in the face and said (lying) I am not insured to drive, and she's Canadian (WTF??? like that mattered) so fookin shoot me! With that, I stalked off and got the collection.

 

Looking back, I suppose it was a bit silly, imagine if you roared up to number 10 in a French registered 20 year old luton, and stalked off. I guess you would end up dead, but at the time, it seemed like a good idea, not to mention I was past caring.

You wouldn't believe the row I had over the size of a bolt! It was 13mm (quite clearly) and I was the 'King idiot' because it was 'clearly 14mm'

 

well it must be if it fits over I suppose...

 

I've had a few arguments about my "MK1 Escort"

 

 

[Messenjah]

i had alot of ohh look at that mustang ... when i had my capper

 

quite alot of what is that ?

 

 

and one bloke telling me he had one just like it apart from the fact his was a cosworth 190 ... i tried explaining to him that there wasnt a cosworth capri ... and it may have beena 280 ... and he told me that he knew as a matter of fact that hs car was a cosworth 190 because it had 15" rs alloys and a leather interior that didnt come in any capris apart from the cosworths ...

 

 

had alot of why the fook have you done that to an escort ... which i couldnt work out...

 

and a few ppl ask me what size the v8 was that was in it ... (it was a 2.0 or 2.1 pinto)
