Met one of those people today....
Took my car to get the wheel re-balanced today (cured my wheel wobble at 60-70mph ) and the guy does the work then comes back to me with the Montes are the cheap motorsport cossies ain't they, when did you put the electric windows in?
I told it was a Monte Carlo limited edition to which he replies so why does it have 'Motorsport' on the seats
So I say the cossie your talking about is a Motorsport version that has no sunroof no recaros etc and he says back to me that I should have got a Lux with the leather
He then waffles on about his mate with a 3-door Saph that has a montune engine and autronic blah blah blah
Gets on my fooking nerves

Try driving one in the States!! I drive down the hiway and 80% of the people point and laugh. Some ask if I made the wing myself in my basement. Ive heard it all.... No matter though I didnt buy it for them
When you do find someone who talks about it, they talk about the cosworth vega, or the mustang svo or wonder why it wouldnt have a v8 etc.
I feel your pain!

Amen Ryan. Especially in the wet, they dont know what hit them
once in a while I do actually come across someone who knows what it is and they go crazy. People going down the hiway trying to get a picture and almost killing others... lol

I got mine MOT'd last week. He Jacked the front up and was spinning the front wheel and the disc was moving.
Took me 5 minutes for him to understand the concept of floating discs

no matter who you talk to, he always knows somwone with a faster/better/nicer cossie than yours.
rods story about the guy in the garage telling him thats his mate has the fastest cossie in the country, only for Rod to correct him in syaing that the fastest is actually sitting outside....class

That always sends me mad when people offer there opinions without knowing the facts, because you end up explaning what the car is but they just think your talking it up.
It might change there tune if they knew what they cost but i have never gone done this road for fear of being up my own arse
also it doesn't help having tons of escorts on the road with kits, neons,spinners or BASS writtern on the back window as you get grouped as the same. But with all that said i think alot of people still know what it is by the amount of attention it draw's must be the same for everyone

when mine was having an mot, the next car to go in was a tvr, so i went over and asked him about it, he was raving about it for ages. said he had been on a track day etc, then they started up mine, he nearly fell over when he heard it! thought it was a fake one as it only had bottom spoiler on back! rich tit!

Paul, everytime I go with my FRST for a spin, meets, etc etc everybody thinks its a XR2i. Just because the FRST are so bloody rare here in Portugal that even when I was getting it insured the insurance company didnt have the FRST on their "car list". Only had the XR2i or XR2i 16v
In the end got it insured as a Fiesta Turbo but it took a while.
Only know of 6 genuine Fiesta RS Turbo here in Portugal
ERST are also not often to be seen, but at least anyone into cars knows that they exist!

my insurance company was scratching its head on my escort... wasnt even in their books either since the car was never imported. In fact I only know of 2 others in the country (but Im sure there are more, just dont know about them) Finally had to go buy price instead of by vehicle..
Admittedly my insurance company was pretty reasonable...
