Stupid things non petrolheads say....

I'll start us off with two.

Colleague at work who firmly believes their 92k mile Saxo is worth approx £2000.

Another colleague who tells everyone all BMWs are 2.0 litre, its just the power output thats different...

[exgtt]

All german cars are RWD - fact.

Oh and the Alfa V6 engine is problematic.

[robsco]

Alfas break down and fall to pieces.

"Are they paying you too much?" No, my car is worth considerably less than your 18k Focus diesel.

[dougc]

'You with your flash cars (!), you get paid too much'

Nice 20k Mondeo you've got there. Worth much now?

I get this all the time when they hear I have an M5. Dont you realise its worth half as much as your Focus/Golf etc.

I think it's economy related too; if you dare drive anything that does less than 30mpg, your name suddenly becomes B.P Esso McShell.

I've no knowledge of the set up myself, however...

non PH type colleague with a MINI. Has run flats and a tyre pressure indicator. Everytime the tyre pressure warning light comes on, there is a reset button, which makes it 'go away'. After about 2 weeks of doing this daily it turns out she actually has a flat tyre.

What do you need a car like that for? You can only go 70 miles an hour.

[i remember]

Bought an N/A car recently, after telling a friend this he said...

"You're not going to fit a dump valve are you?"

Facepalm.

This one makes my pee boil!

We don’t sell £60000.00 cars by e-mail sorry we can't help you.

[carmonk]

Don't see why you bother washing your car every week, it's just a box to get you from A to B. (His was a box, granted, but it rarely managed to get to B)

"it's just a car"

[mattmoxon]

"Your spending how much on tyres" when I mentioned that I am fitting some decent rubber rather than Nankang Ditch Finders for 1/3 of the price.

I get it most days off the wife.

My latest response is; "What do you need 30 pairs of shoes for? You've only got two feet"
