Default Handling people that just talk bull**** like

got a chap at work, 2 years younger than me, talks nothing but bull all day long and it's getting annoying, he's one of those people who's mate has done this etc, one of which is a standard fiesta turbo which is running 3bar boost cos it has a bleed valve, his other mate whos welded a wastegate shut on a new golf gti turbo, 350bhp a+series mini which went down to 250 when a well known mini enthusisast came in. landrovers that pull up mountains on tickover... he drives a racign rover 216 which must be so fast as standard as "nothing" can touch it lol it was quite funny at first when he started coming out with all this but now it's starting to get on mine and everyone elses nerves, anyone had similar experiences? advice? lol

lol we have already started giving him a taste of his own medicine, thing is i work in a motor factors and the reason i have that job is because of my mechanical experience, he talks to me and everyone else, even customers like we have never lifted the bonnet on a car in our lives, when he said about the fiesta running 3bar i wanted to say.. your full of it lol but it keeps us all amused but putting it up with it 5 days a week....

best bet is to gradually correct what he is saying,or question it a little, then he'll realise your not a clueless fuckwit,and that he is!!

Get together with some of the other lads and come out with something really ridiculous and be very convincing that its true ... then watch him relay this info to other people and watch him become a bigger tool than he already is

Me and bubble from this BB done that to someone last year about red cars been faster than any other colour as the paint was lighter and more aero dynamical friendly ...now that was funny and went on for months

Had a mate with a Rover 620Ti that (allegedly) had loads done and it chewed everything up Scoob's, Cossie's Porsche's etc. He went dead silent when he got owned by our old XR2i and to make matters better the wife was driving
