There's a guy I know who adds spcific numbers to his bullst boasts to make them more believable, by that I mean he would never say that he once drove at "over 150 mph", it's always an exact number like 157mph, even though it's getting obvious that he makes it up on the spot.
The recent ones have been "The Mazda RX3 was a four door saloon car which has 252bhp as standard, but it only weighs 512kg and could beat everything in its day, it would be faster than your car".
"The reliant robin three wheeler can do 0-60 in 5.2 seconds"
He's so far out that it's just not worth arguing. He also insists that the Nürburgring is pronounced Nuremberg ring because it's in Nuremberg. Next time I'll remind him that I have access to the internet
Its actually in Nurburg, a totally different place to Nuremburg!;)t boasts to make them more believable, by that I mean he would never say that he once drove at "over 150 mph", it's always an exact number like 157mph, even though it's getting obvious that he makes it up on the spot.

Years ago I worked with someone who had an 'M3' and would park it in the most awkward of places, just so it could be seen by everyone. But it wasn't. It was a poverty spec 316 Coupe with some new badges on. He also wore a fake Gucci watch and would always tell people what brand his 'designer' clothing was with a slightly louder voice than normal.
From that day on I've hated BMWs. I know some of them are good, very good in fact, but the damage has been done I'm afraid!

I suppose one of them would have to be:
"just got my new clio 2day, 182 sport with pipercross, been out innit and my mate counted it 2 60 and it did it in 5.4 sec's. also came across a porsche 911 and was all over him and he had to let me past and i blew him into the weedz. so pleased with it anyone else got 1.??"
Haha that lad was such a w"just got my new clio 2day, 182 sport with pipercross, been out innit and my mate counted it 2 60 and it did it in 5.4 sec's. also came across a porsche 911 and was all over him and he had to let me past and i blew him into the weedz. so pleased with it anyone else got 1.??"
ker! 
i work at halfords, so get alot of it there. lad came in asking for some help with an induction kit, not wanting to waste a professionals times i say i'm the man for the job and will help him out. (yes i do ahve an induction kit on my car, but only because the noise makes me grin like a small kid at christmas (and its probably reduced the bhp but i dont care)) Anyways, he's asking what sort of stuff to go for, so i point him to the chavtastic chrome sheilded induction cone (ripspeed ofcourse) and some ducting to get a cold air feed to it. anyways, he;s asking me questions, im enoying myself bullstting him and then he goes on about an old metro he had. and how that had a pipercross induction cone on it. he goes on to tell me a garage mechanic told him he had to take it off as they etra torque it was creating had stripped the splines of the driveshaft or some such bullshit.
needless to say i stayed very quiet, sold him his ste and let him on his way

Three spring to mind
1) Friends brother has an ealy 90s Nissan Pulsar (Almera) 1.6. With a WRX bonnet scoop "wrx running gear with a supra turbo", 17' chrome wheels at the front with 14' steel wheels at the back "because it's got so much power I use it for drifting" (it's fwd ffs) and has a competition winning sound system (4 6x9 "kingwood" speakers he got off ebay running from a cheap sony head unit with no amp).
2) guy I met in London on holidays from Perth (Australia). Had a Ford Falcon XR8 (large V8 sedan from the mid 90s). Not a bad car. But apparently it was running a nitro feed, supercharger and "full weber carbies". He went very quiet when I asked him who converted an EFI car to run on carbies.
3) Wasn't me driving but a tool of a friend was driving his Honda Civic hatch (no vtec y0) and talking about how much of a weapon it was and how no car could match him at top end or on twisites. Another friend has a debadged e36 M3, and was in my area. Organised for him to pull up alongside my other friend in his Civic. Destroyed him time and time again. When asked what mods he'd done to his M3 my friend just answered "oh it's just a stock 318i with a M3 bodykit" and drove away
Was amusing at the time
