Supercar funny stories...
Discussion
I know there's been a thread about this before, but anyone got any funny stories/experiences with their Lambo/Ferrari/Maserati??
The one that sticks in my mind was when I was filling up the Murcie a year or so ago. A Guy comes wandering over, looks around the Lambo then asks me which kit it is?! Thought I'd play along so I said its an Italian kit, made somewhere in Italy, can't remember the name. He keeps walking around it then looks inside and says 'its a damn good replica, quality is spot on isnt it'. I agreed, then he asked if he could look at the engine? Finished filling up so lifts up the engine cover for him. He stares at the engine for a good minute before saying 'umm its a real one isnt it?' 'Yes' I said.
'Sorry mate'

I Tubi'd some bobbies on the beat with a 1st gear 30mph Lambo flyby last summer (I wasnt speeding though - just making noise!), so they pulled me anyway and decided to thoroughly check the car over and check out the car was mine etc - they were writing out a producer document when the copper writing the ticket called me over and asked me what model of Porsche my car was (he had even written Porsche on the document!!) - DOH!
On another humourous note we were having a blast in our GranSport Maser last summer (one of the very few moments during a few months of ownership that the car wasnt having new gearboxes and clutches fitted by Maranello Egham!) - when under hard acceleration the drivers seat just fell off its runners/hinges and was completely detached from the car!...bloody typical Maser!

Stopped at a petrol station a few months back in the Gallardo. Four young looking ASBO style kids came over and went through the usual BS:- how fast will it go? how much did it cost? etc
Then one of them says to me 'What do you do for a job then?' to which I replied....
' I'm a drug dealer ' to which he replies ' thats sound man'
walking off I hear him say to his mates 'When I'm older I'm going to be a drug dealer then, if it gets you a car like that!!'
The aspirations of youth eh!!

Thats hilarious! 
with Anjum in his 550M, we were in Gent, and had got completely lost and found ourselves driving through a pedestrianised shopping precinct, much to the amazement of the hundreds of shoppers... two very cute female police officers asked us what we were doing, and very helpfully directed the crowds so that we could turn round and drive back out.
My favourite is still this one.
About a year and a half ago in the Gallardo, Castle Douglas, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
I'd just fuelled up at this tiny little petrol station, which only had one pump. As I came out of the kiosk there's a silver Vauxhall Zafira waiting behind me. I walk past and (predicatably) the passenger's window comes down and there's an 8 year old boy in the front with his Dad. Another boy of around 10 years is in the back.
Dad leans across, smiles pleasantly, and says "Nice car. You don't see many of those around here".
"Yes, I'm very happy with it. At least it won't get lost in a snow drift"
8 year old chimes in (scottish accent) "Mister. Are you famous?"
"Only in my house"
Undeterred ha says "Ya must be famous. Are you a popstar?"
I laugh "Do I look like a popstar?"
"Ay, ya do"
"Then I'm a popstar. Pleased to meet you."
"Brilliant" says the kid, then turns to his older brother and sticks his tongue out "See. Told ya he wuz a popstar!"
It was all the Dad and I could not to burst out laughing.
I had a warm and fuzzy feeling all day!

About 6 years ago was in New York on a works training thing.
Went clubbing with a couple of other guys - outside a club was parked a brand new Lamborghini Diablo... in bright pink with a white interior!!
Two of my mates were stood there making comments about "Christ that looks horrible.. Why would you do that to a car like that, etc" when the owner (a huge guy looking like he just stepped off the set of Miami Vice..) walked up behind us.
Guy calmly walked up to the car, unlocked it, got in and then turned around and said "So guys, my Lamborghini is pink.. what colour is yours?" and drove off.
Still the best put down line I've heard...!!

I had some bastard asbo kids chuck a brick off a bridge the first day i had my sl55 went under the left wheel and mangled some internals up. Not funny but did i laugh before i cried when i realised my insurance that was done by the dealer started about 2 hours after the crash.
Also the day i got a roller there were 2 smash ups right next to where it was parked on a main road as people were staring at it.
when i picked up the roller i stoped at some light and some very polite chavs ased me if i was the driver for someone and who it was if they were famous. i replied " do i look like a
ing driver", as i wore my hoody and jeans. mad me laugh afterwards tho.
a bloke in a range fllowed me thru about 1n hour and a half of bus lanes for some random reason....i didnt care as i had german plates but that mad fool mush have had quite a few 100 pound bus lane fines!

Someone I know was filling up his brand new Ferrari for the first time. I think it's fair to say that he was over concerned (as in hoping) that people were looking at him. He paid for the fuel and the conversation went as follows:
"Nice car"
"Thanks"
"New?"
"Yeah just got it."
" So how long have Ferrari made a diesel then?"
"Nice car"
"Thanks"
"New?"
"Yeah just got it."
" So how long have Ferrari made a diesel then?"

Back in '94 I took my 928 down to Le Mans. On the return journey it broke down (don't ask) so I called my Euro Recovery Company. An hour later a small Frenchbloke in a tatty van turns up and in poor Franglais said -
'Cette une Rover 827 monsieur'
to which we replied
'No mate its a Porsche 928',
'Non, une Rover!'
'No mate P.O.R.S.C.H.E!'
This goes on for 10 mins or so until he pulls a battered Haynes Rover manual out of the van. The bonnet's up, he goes under and using his manual fiddles around for a couple of minutes and Voila! he fires it up..then walks back to his van muttering 'Oui une Rover' and drives off.
God knows how similar a V8 Porsche engine and a Rover 827 engine look like...never did work that one out

i was on my way to my golf club last year in my old 360 spider & got stuck in traffic. was hot & had the top down. anyway i'm sitting there minding my own business waiting for the traffic to clear when all of a sudden from the other side of the road, some chavvy pr1ck who was about 17 screamed... "that cars a piece of shit mate"...i glanced across to look for who said it & the little sod was sitting in a bus stop!!!!
so theres him catching a fecking bus yet telling me my ferrari is a piece of sh1t!!! unfortunately i reckon he was too stupid to see the irony of his actions....
in fact i was laughing so much i didnt even reply to him...when i should really have wrapped my 7 iron round his spotty little neck!

Theres a saying about that, something along the lines of being in a piece of shit Ferrari as opposed to getting the bus. I remember V15BEN posted it.
