Discussion
Me: Haven't spoken for a while, hows things with you and yours?
Him: Costing54p a mile No idea why it is using so much fuel. Was talking to various people about it yesterday at Tatton. Everyone's got a theory (of course!) Or did you mean the family!?
Me: well I did mean the family, but 54p a mile....are you sure?
Discussing an old electric cement mixer with a buddy yesterday:
Mate: Think this is on it's last legs
Me: Probably just needs a service
Mate: That chain could do with tightening
Me: Probably needs a new motor
Mate: I reckon this used to have a petrol engine you know
Me: Would work better if it had one.
Mate: Would need something with good torque
Me: What about diesel?
etc

The one I had earlier whilst sat outside the pub
"Bloody hell, who ever that is, is going some"
"Yeah, sounds like it"
"And that's a 30mph limit down there
"Yeah"
"Well that rules out engine failure, that sounded like a massive accident"
Scooby doo driving like a plank, judging by the marks on the road, the state of the Scooby and the Ford Focus he punted 50-100 yards up the road, over the curb and up and embankment, right opposite a school
and yes, we did actually talk whilst the screeching of tyres was still going on

Anyway, here is my effort:
"Need a new car"
"you should get this Audi 2.8 V6"
"I need it to be economical because of the mileage I do"
"2.8 V6's are economical, try running a 4.6 V8"
"Fair enough" *Buys Audi & enjoy's 18-25MPG for nine months before a spectacular engine failure on the M1*
When I was at work last week I witnessed a heated argument between two locals in the pub. One of them is the kind of person you can't tell anything to because they know everything anyway.
The Mondeo ST220 has a 2.2 V6
No it doesn't, it's a 3.0 V6
No it's definately a 2.2
I'm telling you it's a 3.0. Go and look it up!
No, I don't need to because I know it's a 2.2
Et cetera and so on.
2.2 went home in the end after I told him that actually he was wrong this time because it is a 3.0 V6.
3.0 V6 bought me a pint

Obviously Mr 2.2 was referring to the diesel fuelled ST TDCi and getting confused with cylinder configurations, still silly mistake!The Mondeo ST220 has a 2.2 V6

Yeah, he was watching it happen from his window, to see his Focus (which I believe he had just washed, being punted UP hill by a Scooby, hopefully that will be DD and a ban.(Hope the Focus driver was ok)
