I'm not sure he was completely sober . I didn't really want to talk to him and definately didn't want to tell him I own the business. It still makes me smile that this little car attracts so much attention. Shite Ron, AnnoyingPentium, RoverFolkUs and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rust Collector Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Mother in law went home today. That in itself is reason to grin. However I ordered in some burgers as I’ve got the night off. Takeaway driver drops the food in, before he leaves; ‘cool collection of cars dude, you don’t see any of those anymore’. Firstly, when was the last time anyone got called dude, that’s enjoyable nostalgia straight off the bat. Secondly, doesn’t it just feel good when someone compliments the shite you own. Currently on display out the front is the Insight, Lada and one of the BX estates. Taken off guard I didn’t know what to say, I managed ‘cheers dude’, hope he didn’t think I was taking the piss 😅 Quintus, LightBulbFun, Remspoor and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back_For_More Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Dryer threw in the towel so to speak last week so grabbed a local one from that there tree place... Using the Forester - seller helping me get it to the car just exclaims - wow, proper old school, nice one... Then spent 15mins talking about the well used sheds I have and his hankering for a T5R.....

Dobloseven Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Had a thought provoking experience the other day. Our friends granddaughters partner is an electrician. He'd done us a landlords electrical whatever at our rental property and I went round to his to pick the keys up. He was out on his front in a Skoda Octavia he'd bought. Apparently it's 20 years old, and the only one of it's type in that colour with 4WD.He'd bought it with no engine and is planning to fit a V6 eventually. He'd powder coated a lot of under bonnet components, fitted some Audi TT wheels and seats and had got his lap top out programming an instrument cluster he'd bought from Poland into English language. His family have all told him he's mad, but he feels he can talk to me about it because I understand what he's trying to do. Ahh.... I'm now accused of encouraging him.

We all know that one person who has a car which they wish to either perfect or do something completely wild with, despite having zero chance of any value (either monetary or just pure interest) being added to it. I know I do, and he does leave me scratching my head sometimes 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puts a smile on my face whenever I hear someone say "old chap" as well. Because nobody ever says that anymore, yet I think it's also another endearing way of addressing someone in a friendly manner. Something which "mate" doesn't quite manage to do. I know what you mean about repeating it, I've done it before as well and felt awkward afterwards.. or I later realize I probably should have used a more professional term in response or something! 😁 Rust Collector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was working out in the gym, rather feverishly, and stated that he was going to live 'til 100. He's about my age, but died over 20 years ago. I guess there's more to it than treadmills and Nautilus equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The maserati was not a happy looking car, more like a Ford Mustang imitation. The miura was mostly obscured by men salivating over it. £2million! https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/lf22/london/lots/r0028-1971-lamborghini-miura-sv-by-bertone/1301169 https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/lf22/london/lots/r0055-1958-maserati-3500-gt-spyder-by-frua/1301808 I had a ride in a Miura like that....possibly the same one....and it's mute testimony to the fact that that color will make any other car look like dog vomit, but on this one it's ace!
