"that 20 valve Turbo is a 5 cylinder engine, they didnt put them in A4`s, i didnt think they fitted!"

They didnt, and they dont!

"what is that engine out of"

Audi 100 S4

"a what"

google it..........


most universal conversation ever about my A4

 

i / my mate used to have a mk2 escort Mexico

Really?

yes it was on 48`s and a 2.1 pinto

really?...................

 

"is this the cossie that was in PF mag with the stupid big turbo?"

maby

"how fast is it"

its shit

"i bet its fast as fuck"

it isnt

 

This kind of shit used to do my head in!!

I've had 'that's not a Cosworth, the Cosworth's had the big spoilers on the back', 'you should have bought the fast one, you know, the XR4x4', 'my uncle had one of these with a big bore exhaust on it and he had it over 190 mph on the M25' etc.............

Why do people come out with just pure bullshit?!!

 

Is it the V6 sierra.Thats a common one I get asked.

Also...I used to pinch them when I was younger.

 

I've had "is that a cossie"......no it's an escort rs
Now I get "is that a cossie"......does it look like a fucking cossie? "No"..... Then why ask?

 

I was in my saph cossy the other day sitting in traffic and sone guys started hanging out the window trying to tell me that got lots if parts for that cossy (they looked liked thay most prob just stolen 1 so I said that this ant a cossy it's a rep with a pinto in and a fake dump valve lol) then thay said that they got a really nice exorst for a cossy errrrr look at mine it's is a nice 1 already ??

 

Same thing every time

Them: Is it a RS500?

Me: No its just a Cosworth

Then walk away with the looking totaly baffeled.

 

When I had G88 a young lad was looking round it for ages,, he then plucked up the courage to say he'd seen one similar in fast ford (I had it on different wheels),, when I told him it was the actual car he nearly shot his load

 

Same with this guy last night lol, told him it wasn't an rs500 and he said "god I'd never have known, so is it an xr4i?"

 

Tbh I'm a bit of a big tart so I quite like the attention lol, just gets a bit boring when they ask the same questions.

 

I was going to post much the same but that stole my Thunder .

 

yours would be a candidate for the film taxi driver rod lol

 

Much of the same really..one that baffles me is when I baffle them by saying no its not the 2.9 engine its the 2.0

Had the odd one telling me it should be parked up when they seen me driving in the rain/snow

 

Be a bloody quick taxi ride tho.


Had some guy say he going to own my cortina one day to which I replied its not for sale. he still kept on .

 

Ive had that one too.

 

A good one is you dont see many of these about.

I say no one is daft enough to drive them..

 

Always "is it a cossie?" after i'd zoomed past them a while back and they come in the same services.

Most the time they ask if its a racing puma lol.

God knows what they are going to ask when its all in carbon lol.

 

When my Fiesta was on the road, i would frequently get conversations in petrol stations or carparks like:

"Nice xr2 mate, i/my mate used to have one"

Its not an xr2

"Well it looks like one"

Its an rs turbo

"Whats that? An escort turbo engine in an xr2"

No a fiesta rs turbo. And by the way it resembles an xr2i....not an xr2

*walks off baffled*

 

Ive got a 3 door cosworth.

The best and most common ones are 'is it the 500hp RS500?' My long lost cousin from inner mongolia had one of these' and 'I used to pinch these for a living man'.

 

Chav hoodie cunt "Your car is well sick innit."
Me looking puzzled "No, it's in good health"

 

The best one I remember was
"Is it fast".........no?
"So why's it 170mph on the clocks".......lol dunno

 

common ones i got in my s2:

"oh wow,I've not seen an xr3 in ages.....I use to have one"

"is it standard?" - (well i thought the big brakes rs7s, zorst and front mount would of answered that

"is that a cossy"

 

Sorry Glenn

 

 

I had a bloke say to me...... your dads brave letting you take his car out

Me: no its my car mate
bloke: it's a bit old for a young lad
me: it's each to the own
bloke yeah suppose, so is it a proper 4x4
me: yeah (but wanting to say no I liked the look of the badges so I put them on but trying to be nice)
Bloke: oh that exhaust is a bit big, the headlight wiper aren't original
Me: at this point putting a bag in the boot trying to make s exit then he says
bloke: so what is it im useless when it comes to cars....
Me: jumped in the car shaking my head...

other one I had was at whitby while eating fish and chips a old bloke said I havent seen or drove one of these for years the last one I drove I used it to ram raid that motorbike shop in the early 90s... well I nearly choked on my food.... I ended up taking him for a spin it made his day the old asbo haha...

im 26 but look 18 iv been told, I got id to buy gta5 really embarrassing, iv got saph cos 4x4....

 

People seem surprised about the crime element to cossies back in the day they were the weapon of choice for the council estate drug dealer or blags or ditch fodder in Essex

 

I spoke to a cleveland police traffic officer while in my saph awhile back I had no choice he pulled me for speeding, he said we couldnt catch these in the day but we hope for them to slow down to ram them to knock the fuel pump kill switch off in the boot...

 

I got asked where i got my golf rallye bodykit from lol

 

Me and a friend got stopped a while back in Basildon for doing dohnuts and the officer said to us if we would of took off they would of had no chance,

No good telling us that after we got points lol

 

I have never had a comment on any car I have owned. To be fair, they've all been a bit shit.

Quite glad I haven't as my sarcasm knows no bounds!

 

in my old rs turbo estate i got asked "has it got a redtop" i just looked blanckly at him, think he knew my thoughts were just are you a cunt as he wandered off lol. usually get you dont see them much anymore or thats a clean one but nothing really random

 

The wierdist one I had

whenever I've been out and about in my one I do the regular ritual of stopping in a local petrol station and bufty off the flys and brake dust off the alloys before I put the car back in the garage, one day I was doing just that and a couple of scrotes were in the garage at the same time, after looking over the car for a minute or two one of them came out with

"rar imagine if someone keyed that"

my reply was its garaged and if someone did key it they wouldn't walking around for a good few months after I smashed their legs to pieces with a pick axe handle, they jumped in their shit car and drove off after that

fucking scum I knew that what they meant is they wanted to key the car and probably have done to loads of people

Luciano

 

Got asked at the tyre place today if the turbo was real or a replica....the cheek of it!

 

Same, part of me can't wait for the day someone comments

 

Got asked if it was my car and was i old enough to drive when i first got my escort cos when i was 19.

 

What John says, oh and "I used to steal these"

 

Not completely car related, but I was in a petrol station, and I was putting fuel in my ST170 (although that's rather common now lol)

So there I was one evening filling my car up with fuel in a nearby town called Poole, when a little French number pulled up to the pump on my right, and out stepped this young lady (18-20'ish).

I was leaning against my car filling it up, trying not to go over the odd 1p (like you do), but also trying not to eye up the girl (to much). The thing was she kept looking at me, and smiling with it

So I go into the shop to pay, turn around and the young girl is stood behind me smiling, so naturally I smile back

Well I slowly walk back to my car (hoping she would catch me up) and as I was getting into my car, she came over and said "You're Paul aren't you", I said "Yes I am"

She then talks to me about my Focus (?) and said how she likes them. After which she asks if my car club is still going and do I still do meetings, to which I say "every know and then".

So a few minutes go by, we talk about cars, and I keep saying to myself "this is going well".

I then decide to ask her how she knows me, is it through my car club or face book or what ?

Her reply was "You used to go to school with my mum"...

"nice" I said... and got back in my car and drove off lol

 

Haha I've seen similar situations many times

 

Ouch..
