Being young (17) i have to deal with people like this on a daily basis, some of them even friends who think they know more about cars than me because they bought Max Power .

Occasionally i'd start conversations about cars to people who actually know their stuff, but other than that i try to refrain from even talking about fords. Theres been a few times people have said:

Q- What's a good car?
A- Well a Cosworths pretty good
Q- A what
A- There usually reworked cars based on Fords in particular
Q- (Face drops) A ford?!
A- Ehh, yes. Is there a problem?
Q- Well its a Ford innit, Saxos are well better.
A- At this point i usually have a rant about Fords success in touring cars, rallying, Le mans blah blah blah

and still the majourity of them would have a Saxo, Corsa or similar since "i can put a healthy body kit on, get ma ICE in get eh tunes hefty bouncin' plus it'll still be faster than any ford"

What is it with some people? If i didn't know much about cars i'd shut my mouth once i found i was out of my depth in the convo.
