Just been to put some fuel in the Cossie, got nattering to a guy in the petrol station, he asked the usual questions, "Is it a real one?" " How long have you had it?" Blah blah, but then he asked "Why is it so clean?" lol, possibly because I cleaned it lol.

Had another guy ask "Does it run ok?" Yes thanks lol

And someone else asked " Is it Phat?" I really didn't know how to answer that lol.

Any other weird questions you've been asked?

 

I've been told I have a 'sick whip'

Hmmmm

 

I get asked what it is all the time

 

People used to ask if my old escort was a real rs turbo, no it's a 1.3L , it's also a 5dr...

 

Yeah, how much to Birmingham Airport

 

'Wheres the whale tail'
And is it the fast one the 2.9 my mate had one of those you know rs500 the 500 brake one'

For those of you who don't know I have a Saph lol

 

Love it.. Always at fuel stations!

Normally I just get... "Is it a real one?"

 

Had a bloke telling me once when I was out in mine that he had 1 of the first escort cossies when they came out, the RWD ones.............

I stopped going to the local shops in it as well because I used to encounter 1 of the local idiots every time I went lol

 

Ever body you see at a petrol station as had a cossie or there mates had one and they was all 500 bhp

 

My mate had the same question asked oh Pete I think you know him


Paul

 

I used to get asked all the time 'is it a real rs turbo', no mate it has no fucking roof lol, won't be gettin that no more though

 

I had a bloke who came into my work as I was working on a old bmw which he had something to do with. I got chatting saying I had a cossie which he replied my company back in the day designed the escort cossie his name is Mike Gibbs.

 

Haha, some classics there. Lol @ Pete!

I wish I had a quid for evertime I've been asked if it's an rs500 lol, and a couple of people have asked "Is that your xr4i?"

 

Been asked if my Datsun 260z was a Ferrari

Well its red so it could be

 

Karl i went to pic my son up from work the other day popped in to let him know I was there when i came out there was a crowd around my taxi of around 15 people fuck knows why but there were some young lads from the company opposite asked my what a cosworth was and was this one and others knew what it was ! my son came out of work and we fucked off sharpish I hate all that shit

 

I never get asked anything, just told things. Some things I've heard in the petrol station for court.
"my mate had one with 400bhp", "you should put a diesel gearbox in that", "put a cossie turbo on it and you'll see 250bhp stock" , "I used to steal these for a living"

 

Someone has said to me 'thats not an actual v6 is it,its just a normal 3 litre isnt it?' tit.

 

One thing that i always get with any performamce car is ' corr bet that uses some juice dont it? '

 

You drive a Ford - Are you a cunt?

 

Volvo comments about my mk 2 focus rs!!

Does my head in

 

I'll remember that next time I see you mate lol

Will be in touch about the carpet as well mate

 

I get "is it real?",and "didnt you use to have a grey cossie?,i answer,"yes its real and no the grey one was an escort rs turbo".

 

Just change my name on your phone to
Volvo pilot !!

 

i used to get the whole, i used to have an xr2 thing, don't see many about etc.
should have got an erst, they're faster....not sure on that opinion lol!
now i get low lifes eyeing up the bm, trying to tell me it's an m3, when it's only a 330 m sport, i don't have m badges on anything but the wheels as standard.

 

I always get asked "Is it a 500?"
I reply "Nope just a 3 door"
Then they say "So its a rep then"
At which point I mumble "Cunt" under my breath and walk off

The other favorite I get is soon as they see it they say;
"My mate/dad/uncle/second cousin twice removed had one once and it was 500 brake"

Rich

 

karl i get asked nothing except am i a pikey ,as im always in my tranny

 

Volvo engine, Volvo gearbox, Volvo brakes etc - It IS a Volvo

 

I though you were married?

 

i was until she caught me in my tranny paul

 

I was once asked at santa pod if my orion was the front end of an escort and the back end of a sierra !!! pmsl

 

some bloke at the petrol station asked to see under the bonnet of my mk4 5 door which has the turbo engine in. opened it up showed him this bloke walks up and proceeds to call it a mk2 escort after 4 times of correcting him he got extremely angry.

Some people should be aborted really

 

Was sitting in the drive throu and some tit pulled up with his mates and hung his head out the passenger window said do you want to buy any wheels for your xr3i!

Wtf?
Or I used to have one of those, with a 4 speed box in it!

Some people ain't got a clue

 

Same here and at traffic lights

 

A local yobbo came up to me once and said, 'your ride is sick, play some choons'

 

Probably why it's so reliable !!


Oh I've got ap brakes

 

Always told folk my 3dr was a fake as there was always someone telling them he knew it was real cos of this or that

Regularly get asked about my transit sportvan how fast it is

Tell em it goes like fuck as it has a ltd edition engine etc in it

 

The strangest one ive been asked is how did you get a focus rs in 5 door? I replied i imported it from japan.

It has the st170 badge on the back bearing in mind and they were stood at the back of the car!!

 

The other day I got asked is it a 2 litre While he was on a bike riding pass real quick.

I always get "corr I get that fast with a 2 litre in there, is it as fast as ..."

Also "is it like the old rs500 with 500 brake" ... No it's not...

This is a fiesta st btw.

 

When I had my blue mk6 rs2000 with the mk5 front end conversion on it, some dreg couple came up and the fella said I had one years ago in mercury grey brand new etc and the lady with him agreed. Said 'it looks loverly darlin'

And this was outside a cashpoint of all places.

 

best one ive had is thats a funny looking fiesta is it cause its old? and oh my dad had one of those lol
