'You know them chips on ebay that give you 25bhp?'
'Yes'
'If i bought 4, could i get an extra 100bhp?'

'I couldnt afford the black the back lights out, so i just stretch tights over them'

The guy that sits next to me at work is not into cars at all, but decided to put a picture of a car on his computer wallpaper (I can't be bothered to ask why).

My boss (who thinks of himself as into cars, especially as he has an S2000) asked me if I had looked at the other guys screen, he thought it was weird because of the guy not being into cars.
My boss then added, 'why has he got a picture of one of those new 5 litre Monaros on his screen?'.

My reply...'it's an Evo'

One of my mechanics yesterday told me of a time when they got pulled for unjustly speeding in an MR2 Mk2. The convo apparently went like this:

"Hello Mr ---- Do you know what speed you were doing?"
"Yes around 65-70mph"
"Well ive just cought you speeding about a mile back.(Then puts his hand on the bonnet)By the temp of your bonnet i can tell that you were def speeding"
"Well if i was speeding, my engine in the boot would be a lot hotter than my bonnet"

I would have loved to see the officers face.

Or staff if some of the dealerships I've been too are a good indication.

Pulled up at work in the Cerbera I had at the time and a girl stopped me in the car park and said 'like your car, I have a sports car like that' and casually blipped her key fob to lock her Ford Puma.

Some lad in a Smart Roadster tried to tell me people kept asking him if it was the new TVR.

Finally a lad in a Corsa said what engines in that then (meaning my RX7) 'a 1.3 rotary twin turbo engine', 'Ahhh I'd kick your arse - 1.6 with a sports exhaust and I've had it chipped'.

A bloke i work with at the nightclub is a fitter for an alfa dealership in the day and believes himseelf to be THE encyclopedic car guru in work;
"Got your 200 yet?" (just after i'd bought an s13)
"yep, needs alot of work to get it right though"
"yeah but jap parts are cheap as f**k and them 200's are p**s easy to work on!, You wana get it drifting cause them 200's are drift cars init, they're dangerous as and really expesive to repair when they fall apart, cause they're really unreliable!" Then after drawing breath "i'll have to get me one with a blown head gasket cause there easy to work on and then we can go drifting cause drift racing is cheap as just need a spare set of wheels like"
SMILE...NOD...WALK AWAY FROM THE F**KWIT.

Comparing evos to imprezzas with a friend he said 'Evos are designed just for cornering fast, but imprezzas are designed for straight line speed.'

Another friends dad bought a Golf TDi after test driving several cars including an Imprezza WRX. I mused that it would have been fun if he had bought the imprezza to which my friend replied 'well he got the golfs because its just as quick but you can also put a dog in it'

Upon seeing the white subwoofer in the boot of my car a friends mum said 'how handy, a small sink'

When i was looking for a new car with free insurance i was at a vauxall dealership and the salesman said "to be honest the 1.0(corsa) is slow as so after you've run it in just get a big nitrous kit in there until you bring it in for the first service"

My crash protection is is a monolithic crumple zone with no engine in it and generally bein able to avoid things more than a shopping card car can. Shame I went into a front wheel slide on a roundabout and didnt manage to recover it. At least I managed to minimise the damage. Trouble was I was tunnel running and 20 TVR drivers then rubbed my nose in it afterwards

A text message that _Al_ just sent me said:

Had a bloke talking to me while I filled up. He was amazed of my claim of a sub 6sec 0 - 60. His 1.2 Corsa takes 6 seconds and mine can't be that much faster!

When I'd just changed from a Jag 4.0L XJ40 to an X308 XJR, I took my parents and brother to the supermarket in it.

Mum: So why did you spend all this money, it's no different to your old one?
Me: Sportsmode, pedal meet carpet...

Mum: Scrreeeeaaaammmmm! yikes
Dad: eek
Brother: Grips everything he can reach.

Me: Sorry. hehe

Yep and they are on the increase aswell.

Had an idiot in his 306 with its large dustbin exhaust silly and funny alloys sillyreving up beside me when I was in my TVR Tamora. I thought to myself, shall I rise to the bait, Oh go on then, when I hit 90+ mph suddenly realised that the idiot was no where in site byebye byebye byebye byebye byebye byebye
