One of the funniest things i have heard about one of our lots cars was about 8 years ago.
TIm's escort was about stage 2 had a dump vavle on, we went into the garage and over heard the guys in front talking.

"that car is so fast its got air brakes on it"

Well i had to walk out the garage in tears.....

Come on Tiff, Fleece Guy used to work for Cosworth so he must be right, and of course he's definitely more likely to know more about your car than you do!!!

You young'uns just don't respect your elders these days!!!

Dickymint.
Usually find its the young guys that talk the shite where Cossies are concerned, us older guys usually quote facts. Seen enough crap on her to last me a lifetime so perhaps you should be listening & not knocking. I expect hes come across quite a few of the young 500+ bullshitters in his time.
Rod
Sorry Rod but you are WRONG! Dicky mint is clearly just talking about this guy. This same fleece wearing chopper who said that on one Fuel rail the most you can have is 300bhp...

so why the hell should Dicky mint be listening to him??

Reminds me of a taxi driver who used to work at Cosworth telling me when they tested a Cosworth 'back in the day' they reached 200mph (down Niort Way for those that know it )

Lol, so true..... they usually ask what power you're running first though..... last person who said that to me, said his mate spent Ł1500 on getting 500bhp

Best one I had was a guy in the pub started to chat bollocks and claimed to have beaten SCC's demo car. I thought to myself that I couldn't see Rob bothering to race a fibre glassed up Corsa but let this lad continue.

"Yeah you must know the car it's round here a lot, that rapid black turbo with SCC visor?"

Penny then drops that the muppet is claiming a race win over my S2 I let Mr Bullshitter continue before telling him it was actually my car he was claiming a win over

Went strangely quiet for some reason

I'm sorry, but in thise situations I can't help myself and just tell the person to stop talking a load of bollocks. I then go into great detail of WHY what they are saying IS in fact bullshit.

You then get, "Well that was what I was told" . Well you were told fucking wrong .
