Default There are some right numpties about :cry:

Was in the messroom at work today, chatting with a driver about the E30 project, as he likes his old skool cars and this numpty leans over and says

"my mate used to have a 4x4 cosworth, had 600bhp and would spin all 4 wheels in 4th gear on a dry road"

To which he got the reply of:

"fuck off, i'm having a private conversation"


always one aint there who has a mate who has a 600bhp car -the cock

oh thats a shame,have to find it with the next owner then.
as for spinning the wheels the only way he could is if he lost the back end and hit the dirt while still trying to accelorate.

sounds familiar, but my boss

when i told him i was buying a saff, he asked why? as they are too old nowadays

he then went on to explain about his old cosworth, which he traded in against his h-plate transit (which he still owns ).

when i showed him a picture of one, he said thats not a real one, as it had a sunroof, and real sierra cosworths dont have sunroofs

also when discussing TVR's one day he suggested that they are now unreliable, cos they have been bought out by a russian and the old ones were much more reliable.

one day he borrowed his 'friends' one and drove it into work (before i started here, of course) and i bet you cant guess what model it was..................................thats right









a speed 12!!!

So how comes you're selling Gracie?

The amount of blood, sweat and tears that's gone into it - i'd have thought you'd have at least done a year with it?

I start my train driver training in december, and i'll be on a basic wage of 18665 a year untill i complete the training - and I don't want any loans or other outgoings coming out of my bank, so the E30 has to go, to clear 2 loans and that way, I will be able to save my money easier

I know a guy like that, the funniest thing was the he too has a mate with a "600bhp escos thats got nitrous and will do 200mph and outrun the cozzers and the helicopter and the cozzers couldnt do anything about it cos he told them he was at home all the time"

He got the nickname 2 shits off some of the guys I used to work with on shopfloor........... 2 shits cos if you'd had one he'd had 2

If the opportunity comes for a good put-down, I jump in with both feet , as they are so easy to absolutely tear to shreds .

I would have even gone to the point of stopping my conversation and quizzing him about the car mentioned, before listing every single one of the facts of why he is so full of shit .
