Taking of diesels, a company Nr Telford (Cyril Wilcox & Sons) told my friend once (whilst i was with him) that you can't lower diesel cars.
 
One of my girlfriends mates started telling me about this amazing new car called the Bugatti Veyron, and explained that it had 16 engines. :rolleyes:

She was serious.



I couldnt be bothered to correct. :(
 
"You can't put different size tyres on the front and the back of a car!"

Someone at my work has a mate who apparently races bikes, and has told this lad that his race bike (in a national circuit race series, apparently) has nitrous and a turbo...

A few days ago somebody told me his mate had a prelude which revved to 12,000rpm, I doubt he did.

You doubt he did? Was it one of those new bike engined Preludes?
 
"Its the third gear thats your problem, the turbo spools up and shreds the clutch"

This from the guy at the garage who'd just fitted my clutch. Worrying..
 
Had an extremely clever mate, he was kind enough to tell me how some cars have their top speed limited. Apparently manufacturers do this by welding a metal plate in place that simply stops you from being able put the accelaerator pedal all the way down :confused: .

This guy was a real genius when it came to cars, one day he was watching his dad work on a mates car when he noticed his dad disconnect the radiator fan. Without asking why he assumed he should also do this to his old fiesta and oddly enough it developed a puzzling overheating problem.
 
Renault Dealer in Bristol when missus was looking to buy a yellow car (yes the colour was the only thing she cared about :rolleyes: )
Me "Hello we would like to test drive the yellow Megane Coupe on the forecourt please"
Him "Well you will have to pay for the car before I can let you test drive it"
Me "Ah ok, goodbye then"
I turned to the missus, who had just reached in her bag and pulled out the cash stuffed an envelope ready to give the guy "Its alright, SEAT across the road do yellow too love"

Back street place that I bought my very first car (big mistake I know now). It kept overheating and when I took back they found the fan was disconnected.
Him "Are you sure someone hasn't got it in for you?"
Me "No, not unless they work here"
Him "eh?"
Me "Well I only got the car off you five minutes ago, its been to the end of the street and back again!"
 
Some gob ***** at work:

"My brother has a Ford Focus twin turbo"


The owner of a "Prestige" car dealership:

"We don't do M3's, the 330's offer the same performance and are 10 grand cheaper"

:confused:

And no, I wasn't considering selling out my jap whore roots, was merely on my way back from work in a suit and thought i'd test drive a 325/330 to see if they are as boring as the engine sounds.
 
I sold a Range Rover for £350 and this guy tried to tell me that an hour later it had caught fire so he wanted a £50 refund. Fat chance i thought! So i disguised myself as an old lady.
