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?!!

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

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

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'.

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

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
