Oh and two days ago I had someone shout 'YOU THINK THATS COOL BUT ITS A RUSTY OLD BANGER' I wouldn't worry. I used to get a lot of this, and MUCH worse, driving the Skoda FavorAt around. On it's last incarnation it was pretty quiet on idle, and you'd get all sorts yelled at you, even from drivers beside you, but none of it mattered when you had no weight and 97.6db of bike-can screaming off the line  |

I often get people walking past the garage asking what car it is - when I say an opel manta anyone under a certain age just goes 'what?' or 'a madza?' Was working under it one day in the street and I heard a couple of people passing 'mummy what's that car?' 'not sure, a capri I think' had to set her straight on that one. and just yesterday some lad declared that 'that car's FOOKING curse word' as he came past - I'm now having to rethink my whole approach after that damning critique |

If I had a pound for every time I get "that's not a genuine cooper S mini, they had twin tanks", I'd able to afford one!!
What the twazzocks never fail to miss is that my mini is 20 years too young to be a cooper S!!!

When out in Bruce's Delica - in full post-apoc mode - a group of Geordies saw us and one shouted, "F**kin' look at that! That's proper ready for a fight, that c**t!" LOL - that was an awesome evening. Just moments before that (just before picking Dan up) I noticed the shocked expression from a 'huge mamma' (think Rusty Lee but bigger & louder!) at a bus stop. She look absolutley frightened at the sight of the Delica and yelled out proper loud "War is a coming!!" Quite a few other reactions too...but the two above were my faves. Oh and then there was the reactions from all the police in the riot van. They wanted to swap because the Delica looked way tougher than theirs! |

Sat at a junction, waiting to pull out in my old Lotus Excel, young chav and 3-4 yr old son cross in front of me. Whats that Daddy- it's a low toss in a curse word off voice.
Surprised me at the time, I loved it and thought everyone else did too. Must have been during the tape changing sides or I wouldn't have heard it over the Propellor Heads James Bond theme on cassette single! (what a nob I was!)

While driving home from work in my old Dolomite in the rain, I was coming down the duel carriageway I live on, just coming upto a roundabout which I had to go all the way round. On the roundabout is a shop and I live four houses down from it. There were about half a dozen chavs standing outside minding their own business and they all looked straight at me. The roundabout always has oil and diesel on it from buses and lorries, and as I entered the island the backend started going, so I held it all the way round to the exit I wanted, carried on sideways up the road and straight onto my driveway. Got out the car with a look like 'Pah, do that all the time' and was greeted with cheers and claps from the chavs now standing outside my house exclaiming that was the most awesome thing they ever saw.  Due to the amount of cars I used to have my neighbours have quite a dislike for me, so had to move them all. I thought most of the other locals were the same until about a month ago when I was just loading some wheels into my van a little girl and her dad were walking along and the little girl said 'I wonder when the pretty cars will be back'. The dad turned to me and said 'Do you live there?' which I replied yes to. 'You've had some curse word wicked cars mate, where they all go?'. 'The neighbours told me to move them because they wanted the driveway free (shared driveway BTW)'. To which he replys 'curse word hell mate, I wish I'd knew, I'd of sorted them out for you. Take it easy'.  |

My own fave was in the Dutton, I pulled up at a fuel station and the guys in front were in a Golf and took one look at me and were all " hey thats cool, thats the shag that is , what is it, I want one" etc and my daughter is in the passenger seat shouting " noooo it's a shed, don't encourage him for gods sake !!!" I felt absolutely ACE  |
