formatzero Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Came home tonight in works van to find a guy astride his bike peering into my sup.I panic seeing handlebars so near my paintwork(been here before with my 406 coupe) jump out the van and the guy says,not a bad looking motor,i say yes not bad,he says pity about the interior,i feel the hackles go up :eyebrows:Dont slag off my car says i,oh sorry is it yours says he, i thought it would have a leather interior :Pling:The interior is standard cloth on a 98 facelift n/a and is mint.Plenty more questions follow,about wheels discs,etc.He then says will it do eighty no bother?im sensing a wind up, so i say ,just about, he continues do you have it fully comp as sometimes it's not worth it for these old cars by this time i'm deciding which part of him to hit first,but instead say to him,by the way how's your CLIO VAN going :Pling:couldn't afford to keep it says he thats why i'm on the bike ! ! !

RobDogg Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I always get the small dick comment to which I always reply "Was your mum complaining again that I don't touch the sides, Try and find a guy that can!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Some people don't like the car, are jealous or just don't know anything about cars. I had some funny moments with my last black one which Wez reminded me about today.. Parked in a supermarket, some old couple started openly laughing and pointing at the (stock) spoiler Another one was only last year Passerby chav 1: F-king look at that, nooice (pointing at the supra parked up) Passerby chav 2: shit wheels (stock 17's) Passerby chav 1: Yeah, shit car, what a c--t Now when people point out the dodgy paint, dents, etc, I just tend to agree with them, they're usually right.

Daston Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 The one thing that used to piss me off was the "wish my dad let me drive his car" I worked bloody hard for the cars I have/had and its always from people who clearly either dropped out of school and doing a crap job or cant be arsed to get a job that makes those comments. Normally I used to get quite nice comments by people who actually did a hard days work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Without the tempting feeling of wanting to rip the bloke's head off, i would just laugh it off because they are only jealous as their income isnt high enough to run a sports car...

marcAB10 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) a guy at work said he didn't like my alloys.. So I stabbed him.. In the face Ok.. That was a lie, i just laughed it off after he said he didn't like any alloys with a lip.

Guest Budz86 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Havn't had anyone slag it off yet...although my mates are fed up with hearing about the various mod's I intend to make! If someone did, I'd just ask them what they drove! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I've only ever had light hearted p**s taking, not had anyone seriously slagging her off. Plenty of compliments and interest usually. I've had more abuse about my Supra on here than outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firestorm Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 some people called my supe the bat-mobile.. which i guess i dont really mind.. buts its followed up with a.. that car is BEAUTIFUL! seriously most people dont have a clue about supras around our area.. its just looks nice and its fast to them so they usually shut the hell up after that. heheh! plus i have a piercing through my septum.. that usually scares them off too LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I have never been unfortunate enough to have the supra slagged off. I have however had people shout w***er at me while I pottle along in traffic. I know its not because of a loud exhaust or outrageoud mods as my car is standard so I put it down to a case of envy or a bad run in with a supra/owner in the past.

Benyon Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 About two weeks ago i had just bought some New alloys but had not fitted them, Some 40yr old come over to me at my girlfriends flat and said "nice car mate, dont like the alloys thou" because of that i fitted my new wheels the day after he saw me and i said because of what you said yesturday i went out bought some, he asked how much i paid when i told him he came out with "thats £100 more than my whole car" So now this guy thinks im mega rich for just going out buying some alloys when i actually bought them a few days before and was waiting for my brake upgrade to arrive hehe.

arvind8811 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Couple of weeks back, i was in a traffic signal and a chav on his scooter was behind me, I looked into drivers side mirror and that @$$ is showing his finger at me!! I thought of put the car into reverse and slamming that b@$|@£d, but actually i had a big grin because i knew he was just jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I don't know, as its never happened, but then again I'm completely deaf*. *Not really, just to criticism and chav speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
