As above.

What has someobody told you recently/in the past that has made you think "WTF?" and then burst out laughing...

2 favourites of mine from the same guy (and he's a top bloke as well, really nice!)

"You can't chip these engines in my Volvo, after 300miles they shut down and can never be run again"

"My cold air feed made such a difference, i must have at least 15bhp on a cold morning, it goes like stink."

:D
 
the mdf window has no bearing on the non starting fault that we cant find
pug technician

(10 minutes later and fitting a window the car started)
 
"Insert random improbably funny comment here probably made up to get some laughs on an internet forum" :D

Although one actual genuine string of funnies from a guy trying desperately to get me to buy the 530i Sport he had on his forecourt:

"They dont do a manual, its simply too powerful and the torque would damage the box"
"It's a 3 litre version of the M5. It's the same"

after being informed they did do a manua

"Ah yes but they are so very rare, this would cost £3000 more as a manual"
 
Some bloke the other day

"You don't want a crap magnex exhaust, I'm so glad I got this 490 quid custom made job they provide much better gains"

I made comments such as is it mandrel bent, what grade of stainless steel used, mig/tig welded, bore of pipe etc.

"who cares mate, this has given me loads of extra pull runnin about 145brake now"

Car in question was a 1994 Pug 306 D Turbo, worth maybe £600 tops.
 
"Just got back from watching the F1 test at Silverstone..."
"Oh cool, did you get to drive?"
":rolleyes:"

Yes, she was blonde.

I doubt anybody would make anything up to make individuals such as yourself crack a smile :)
 
This sticker just gave me 20bhp extra.

If you polish your engine bay the increased cooling ability improves performance.
 
Buttmunch* - "My Subaru Impreza has a 5 cylinder engine"

Me "Oh really, open the bonnet then and show me"

BM "Look, these 4 here (points to the manifold) and this one here" (points to the alternator)

Me - Whatever you say BM :rolleyes: "

Not really what someone said, but...

We were on our way home from Hanley one night, and you have to go through a place called loggerheads to get to Market Drayton. A friend had left earlier on, but as we drove through Loggerheads, he was stood on the road, no car to be seen.

I pulled over, asked him if he was ok and had he been in an accident...

"No mate, Marts has taken my car to Drayton and back so i can hear what it sounds like from the outside"

Bearing in mind that was about 10.45 at night and pitch black.. and Drayton is 2-3 Miles from Loggerheads :D

Some guy was convinced my car was made of recycled spam tins. Even went to the effort of finding me pictures as "proof"
