The standard one I get at work is 'why have you got so many cars/bikes, you can only drive/ride one at a time' To which I reply 'same reason as you have more than one music CD - sometimes I feel like driving/riding something different...' Normally shuts them up

Best response (if it is a woman) is to ask how many pairs of shoes they have!

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

some of these - proper LOL! to expand just slightly - looks like it came out of a scrapyard mate! usually countered with statement along lines of: yes, it did. why do you have so many cars? i like cars. why don't you get a modern proper car? i had one. it was sh1t. what was it then d1ckhead? a year old Seat Arosa. like a VW Lupo, only better than a VW. skodas are good now that VW make them! skoda make the VW engines, you curse word. also, the OCtavia VRS is faster than the Golf GTi. old skodas are curse word! yeah, its cheap, quick and RWD. I'm shocked i bought 9. i love this also. my mates/dads/twazmonkeys car is faster than yours! really? this corsa would beat my 5 series? why waste your money on that? waste? lol. this car cost me like 2 monthly payments on your peugeot. ITS A FRICKIN AUDI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 sorry...

Normally shuts them up I usually reply "Is that your only shirt? Or do you have different ones for different times?" or something like that. Of course, I don't get that comment often at the moment

I generally get nice comments about my cars but the interest from the local chav scum is a bit worrying at times. I always get asked how much the ghia cost and is it fast and as car crime is rife round here i don't really like to say. A guy in my street was adamant that james dean died in a ghia But generally its just asking what it is, or saying how nice it is. I don't really mind, but the conversations do get repetative.

"How much is that worth/how much did that cost"
1. give a low answer - they assume its sh!t if it was cheap and they get all cocky back saying "yeah, junk innit" or whatever
2. give a high value answer - they go, yeah? You wererobbed, you could get a Bee Emm for dat man....
You can't win.

Any scumbags ask me about my cars and the Capri is a 1300, non-runner, no compression in 2 pots and the XR4 is a lookalike based on a 1.6L and its waiting for a gearbox. This is serious business I had 2 scrotes asking about the Capri years ago, I didnt exactly make out it was a fast car but they came back, tried to pinch it, couldnt so they pinched my Cavalier instead and hit 2 cars and a person with it! If they hadnt come for the Capri I doubt they`d have bothered the Cavalier, so remeber if you don't like the look/sound of the guy then nothing runs and its owner is coming to pick it up in an hour.
