Took my series 1 to work as the daily drive had died and the 2 bints in the office asked me if i was having a mid life crisis driving a Gary car. Some people eh i was at a loss for words,

just fuck them off .....

 

 

lol

 

some people just dont understand mate

 

You should honked up a big greenie and gobbed in there faces. slags

 

PMSL!

 

Take them out in it, that will shut them up

 

Rape them.

 

Agreed

 

Same as a girl i know saying "why do you drive an E reg escort!? it makes you look poor!"

 

I don't think they would get there fat arses in my recaros definately break them if they did, bitches
PaulT

 

Piss in their tea

 

you should correct them and say "because i have an E reg escort i am poor!!!"

 

To be fair, if they know nothing about cars, especially older cars like your S1, to them it looks like a boy'd up C reg Escort. So you can't blame them can you?

 

 

beat me to that 1

 

do what i did when my mates bird asked me why my car has chavvy vents on the bonnet, reply with why the fuck do you drive a green megane covered in scratches and dents with the gayest kerbed up wheels i have ever seen you loud fat slag now fuck off. it didnt go down well with her or my mate but meh!

 

The wee birds used to love mine....they were 16-18 though

 

People on here seem to get really defensive when someone recognises their car as anything other than "classic" or the like

 

tell the tarts to fuck off. a bird i was shagging a while back didn't know fuck all about cars and didn't have a clue how hard it is to find mint recaros for an erst. after i told her about four times not to lean on the seat bolsters and lift herself out instead of sliding over the sides of the seat i banned her from getting in the car. needless to say she went nuts but i didn't give a fuck to be honest. told her to get a fucking bus or taxi if she couldn't listen to what i'd been telling her. some people just don't seem to understand.

 

My 2003 Focus has been called chav by a few of my mates having a dig despite the fact it isn't remotely simply because it is a Ford and Fords are for chavs. Doesn't really bother me because I can hit back with things 100x worse

 

Correction..



Not to worry though, if you feel shamed by their comments I have a lovely estate I'd be willing to swap for your 'gary' S1. You'd appear all sensible and boring then, I wouldnt expect any cash either.

 

lmaaoooo, love it

 

I get similar all the time for driving an orion. They dont have the enthusiasm to make themselves look nice in the morning let alone appreciate the hours of effort i put into my cars. to them its a 20 year old car regardless of spec, so arguing is pointless.

i usually then overtake them at full chat, 2nd gear, pop pop BANG

A mate of mine was out in his mk1 escort a few years ago now and pulled in for some petrol. A guy glanced across at him and said (along the lines) "why are you driving that has your missus got all your money" seriously!

 

Thats all i used to get when i had my saffs, in particular my white one! Because it was white and had a big exhaust all the older guys at my old work used to slate it rotten. But how times change as they now nearly all have white cars including a Focus ST and a VXR Corsa ? one used to have a brand new scoody in 99 and i remember him telling me his was miles quicker than mine, newer so it was better blah, blah, blah. so when on a golfing day we were both driving i swiftly shut him down and he didn't brag again!

 

I went to parents evening once in the escos and one of the mums said whos is that old car with the spoiler on it. cheeky cow!

 

just tell em it bought to many memorys back of when u did theyre moms on the back seat and u cudnt sell it for that reason.
i used to get it alot why u driving that get a nice bmw or summit
right until one pulled up next to me and got all 5 gears leaving them in the dust

 

I once said I was picking my daughter up from school in an E-Type Jag Thought it would be a treat for her after my usual scruffy daily driver at the time.
She asked what it was and I told her it's age, iconic etc etc She got me to park it round the corner incase her mates saw her getting in it

 

thats why i love my saph, comments lika that makes my day.

i remember one time waiting for green light, a chap in a big suv came up beside me and laughad at the 4" exhaust and gave comments on the car, i leaned over and said "well its got over 300bhp.." he went "in that?! hahah yea right", green light and i went off, his jaw hit the floor

and then there was the time with the porsche.. and then the 350z.. and the m3.. and the m5.. etc etc this is what keeps me goin

 

i agree with this statement lol

 

it makes ya laugh but not everyone is educated with lifestyle of a ford lol.

 

Done that so many times with people at work. My BF's BMW 318i Coupe is so fast this can't be as quick as that it's an old Ford". Followed by "FuuuuuuuuuuuuuucKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!"

 

Love this thread ha ha.

 

drop some laxatives in their tea or coffee and they can spend the day at work on the cludgie.

My wife slates me for the "heap of shite in the garage" as it is a mk4 cabby. She hates it and calls me a boy racer etc and how she think it looks ugly etc, but I couldnt give a toss what she thinks.

 

its as were all saying, people just dont and never will understand.

 

I found it more fun when i was 20 in a volvo estate and no one ever believed me when i said it was 300bhp.

 

I had that in my Fiesta Ghia ZVH turbo sleeper. I was coming up to some lights where there's 2 lanes at the lights and they filter into one lane over 200 yards. There was 5 cars all sat in the outside lane so I went up the inside and pulled up along side a Vectra V6 SRI with silly wheels and twin exhausts. Anyway the lad reved his V6 at me so I looked over and him and his mate and him were pointing at my wheels and laughing. I suppose OZ Superliggeras do look rather out of place on a standard looking 5 door Ghia
Anyway, loaded my car up, lights went amber we both launched forward, my Fiesta span its wheels all through 1st and 2nd turbo chattering on the gear change and I slotted in, in front of him. The look of utter confusion on his face was priceless The thing was, I had a 3 inch bore exhaust onto a standard back box and tail pipe so it wasn't even loud!

 

love it i love sleepers to bits, i had it about 5 yrs ago with my m8 in his rs2000 we pulled up to darford toll and see this metro we both laughed at it cos of the roll cage bucket seats in a brown mk1 metro, till we tryed leaving it and all of a sudden this thing was off never seen a rover go so fast
