Anyone else always seem to put their foot in st when talking to someone about cars?


e.g

Uncle: What do you think about maserati 4200s?
me: Don't really like them that much, look a bit weird..
Uncle: Oh.. frown I just brought one.. Its outside..

yes, but only really about 'normal' cars. i had to use a hire car to go somewhere with work, which turned out to be a new clk with all the toys. cue my exclaiming it was better than the usual stty astras, then a rant about how st astras were. later realised 2 guys in the office own astras and another guy picks one up at the weekend. d'oh.

Congratulations BTW.

What the fks up with these forums?

I expect trolls on other forums but do you really think I created a thread to boast about knowing someone that has a car worth less than a new Golf GTi???

Chill Winston, I guess you could say I always seem to put my foot in it when talking to someone about cars.

I'm guessing you can't be that smart you didn't even pick up on my attempt at humor by typing "your"

A guy who I who comes down the pub used to have an S-Type Diesel and he was lent an XF 2.7d when they first came out, but he handed it back after a weeks trial.

About a year ago, he bought another one along, and I said 'you should wait for the new 3.0D S, it is supposed to be pretty good, much more efficient and quicker than the old 2.7'

The Guy : 'Oh well they didn't tell me that!'

Me : 'Oh right fair enough, are you going to order one then? The 3.0 is supposed to be in another league so a guy from Jag told me'

The Guy : 'Well too late now, that's my 2.7 out there'


Followed by silence... Not the best but I was thinking of things to make it up, and failed eek
