A few ones from last summer:

 

Them: How fast does it go?

Me: How much do you think?

Them: 120mph? 125mph?

Me: Erm, a bit more than that

Them: WOW!!!

 

Them: How many dump valves has it got?

 

Them: Has it got NOS?

Me: No, doesn't need it

One lad: My dads escort has NOS, its much faster (They then all sigh and move on!!)

 

Lad with 50cc offroad bike: (points at the RSR) That'd look wicked on me bike!

 

But the one I get all the bloody time (especially from groups) is the "spin the wheels" sign. At least I think that’s what they mean! I'd be happy to oblige but there's speed bumps every 40 foot around here so prating about is out of the question.

Just last month I walked past one group when the biggest lad came over and told me they thought I was boring because I never spin the wheels when they ask! :D

A young chav in training (approx 10 years old) came up to me while i was parked up outside a mates house..

 

Him: Nice car what is it?

Me: Supra

 

(Phone rings...im engaged in conversation)

 

Him: How fast do you go?

Me: 180mph (return to phone conversation)

 

Meanwhile.. the older veteran chav father comes out from the gates, where the son turns around to him and says "dad look a subaru"

 

Chavs dad: That aint a fuckin subaru you muppet, its a supra. Nice looking car NOT VERY RELIABLE.. Now get your ass inside dinners on.

 

Surprising that, when as far as i recall he had a battered up cavalier or carlton something like that sitting outside, VERRRRRY reliable.

Theres a pub in town that has seating outside that goes right accross the pavement next to a junction, pulled up there and all I get is a chant of "Smoke em!" so I did nice big burn out (well big for an NA!) only to find that on the other side of the table is to coppers having a spot of lunch! Luckly they gave me the :thumbs: and were grinning like idiots :D

But aren't all Supe owners locked in to their childhoods! I'm almost 34 and I think I only achieved double-figures in terms of mental age last week!!

 

EXAMPLE 1:

 

12-year old kid in the street: How fast Mister; what's under the bonnet; can I sit in it please; turbo's as well - WOW!!

 

Me at Japfest This year: How fast Mister; what's under the bonnet; can I sit in it please; turbo's as well - WOW!!

 

EXAMPLE 2:

 

My son, to me, after visiting the toy shop: Dad, can I have the new PS2 game; a new TV; a new DVD and anything else that I haven't mentioned.

 

Me, to my wife, after Japfest: 'Sweetheart', Can I have a turbo upgrade; new fuel lines and a some shiney alloys!!

 

Enough said - Anyone in agreement

 

it's lush cause I was like that at that age... :D

I love stories like these :)

 

Went out to jongleurs (comedy club) in Nottingham a few weeks ago and on the way home I passed a line of late night revellers queuing to enter a club.

As the trafic light turned to red and with the window down I could hear a chorus of "ooow nice car" and "great car" etc etc etc..

 

Made me smile :)

 

Then yesterday I was talking to a neighbor when his wife came out and said "our friends just bought a sports car like yours".

"Don't talk rubish darling, thats a Celica, NOT a SUUPPRRAAA".

"I do apologise Ed" he said, "Shes doesn't know what shes talking about ....shhheeeesh"

I just laughed
