own eresesI dropped into Halfords in St Albans to pck up a stick on mirror for my '79 Daimler and there in the car park was a gorgeous '80s Bristol Beaufighter convertible. As my mate and I were admiring it (both besuited and booted and neither of us spring chickens) the ower came out of Halfords. I complimented him on it and he looked at me as if he had scraped me off his shoe....airily said that he'd bought it post restoration and turned up his nose at my ol' Daimler, telling me to "watch his paintwork" when opening the door. I pointed out to him politely that if it wasn't for people like me driving and restoring smelly old damilers then there wouldn't be any restored cars for others to buy and enjoy.he simpered and said "c'est la vie"I smiled and replied: "Bouffe ma queue calisse de fag"which, as our French members will tell you roughly translates as: "why don't you perform an obscene oral act on my todger you homosexualist"he, obviously didn't have the french and replied "indeed..hohoho" before placing his beblazered backside in the drivrside and roaring off into the sunset.I don't get how you would not want to chat about your pride and joy unless - of course - you are such a spoiled tosser to you it is just a car?

[chester drawers]

What a twat. Noel Gallagher had / has a Blenheim. So there’s two.

 

Disclaimer - that’s the only owner I can think of so maybe it's a bit of a generalisation.

[Milford Cubicle]

 

Hmm, it's just a shonky glorified kit car anyway.

What an utter arse.

[FredTransit]

Talk to me about me transit? Try and get away before nightfall..... He sure as hell wouldn't have liked me parked next to him.....

[scooters]

my mate Matt did tell him that he thought it was a Cortina when he first saw it.....chortle

[FredTransit]

Ah that would do it!

[Station]

Of a similar tale, I was cheekily parked in the corner of a car park of my local hospital. The car park is ALWAYS full, they built another on a scenic park and that's ALWAYS full, and parking on kerbs, yellow lines is accepted. There was a tiny little gap in front of me and some soft old bint tries to reverse park into it. Of course, she was never going to get in, but she did manage to thump her car into my front bumper! WTF I thought. She looked at me, but not in shock. She then went back and forward again, and THUMP, another mini collision. Even I'd get out and apologise for being a ham-fisted c*nt, but she just got out and limped away. I would've gladly scratched her car on the way out, but I didn't want to damage my own, and I would've regretted it later."Why don't you push me into the grass verge you stupid cow?"Some people.

[babydriver]

You Think you got trouble!!!!!!!!Some stupid cow reversed into the front of me nasty micra me Son was driving. it and parked with the front poking out of his mates drive, She knocked on and told his mate she just twonked it then drove off into the sunset. I left a note at her house opposit saying the car was mine and I wanted her insurance details along with me phone number, the following morning she sends her live in gorrilla round to give me lad a verbal battering saying that the car was a bag of shite anyway so he could ferk off and that he was a w*nk*r.I would have let it go in the very begining if she had not treated me lad with contempt thinking he is only a kid so he can get lost.Yes it has dents & scrapes on it but I can honestly say they were all created by twonks who hit it and not leave insurance details on it in car parks etc. I have reported her to the Police as a hit and run but diddly has been done yet, I am sooooo cross

[FredTransit]

Is that failing to stop, worth three lovely points? Had some git run into us at lights, We pulled across the lights and they followed, when I asked for insurance, they said 'What's insurance?' (not an English national) then shot off. They did get 3 points, but left it to write into court, which I didn't find out about until I was actually there

[babydriver]

Police called it a RTC whatever that is, all I know is this happened last thursday and I have not seen hide nor hair of a copper at her house, I will ring them to Jog their memories, Glad its 3 points though just to knock that smug grin off the evil witches moush

[Father Ted]

Harumph My own mother in law reversed into the side of my AX one evening completely staving in the drivers door. Did I get a new door? Did I get it repaired? Did I get ANYTHING? Did I fuck, because she "couldn't afford it" and apparently I dont mind driving round in dented cars.

[garethj]

airily said that he'd bought it post restoration

Hmmm, they aren't cheap to restore, bet he paid a packet!

my mate Matt did tell him that he thought it was a Cortina when he first saw it.....

Therefore I should imagine this wasn't a good opening gambit He's still an arse though

[Torsten2001]

I think I would have said "did you build it yourself? I guess you can sort the panel gaps out at your leisure!"

bloody MILs - having said that revenge on mine was sweet as I parked a '71 Moggy 1000 on her brand new drive 3 months ago which promptly pooed all it's oil all over her horrible new brickwork - hahaha!

Was on a trip out with Vicsmith in his tidy MK3 Capri, with him driving. We pulled up in a strange residential area to be greeted by a 5-year-old boy. He questioned Vic on the motor - "Is that your car?" "Yeah" "I don't like it". This amused Vic to quite some degree.However I was in the mood for some STREET JUSTICE, so I pointed out that his pink push-scooter (with flower motif) was "rubbish".Vic thought that was a bit harsh, but then he's not a hardened thug like me.

[FredTransit]

I hope you told him he was riding a girl's scooter. Serves him right for not liking the capri.

[pompei]

I was dropping my 10 y/o stepson off at school in the CRX (scruffy/smokey/rusty) last year when one of his mates said, "Hey, cool car!" I'm not sure whether ten year olds do irony

[FredTransit]

The last time I took the hippy bus out (considered wearing a paper bag for it) I had a little girl of about five run down the pavement at the side of me shouting I love your van. I do so hope she grows into a sense of style.....

I don't get how you would not want to chat about your pride and joy

It is hard to understand, I've always been pleasantly surprised when anybody has commented or wanted to talk about one of my old barges. Oddly, I often notice this attitude at classic car shows - why not chat to the ogling masses, surely you took your car there for people to admire it???

[mnde]

I was once stationary in traffic in the GSA, and as a couple of young cyclists passed me on the offside, one of them clapped his hand on the roof a couple of times, I assume as a sign of approval!Another time a small group of yooves approached as I was walking towards the car parked in a street after work, and one of them said something like "nice car" and then "is it for sale?"Most comments in carparks go along the lines of "My dad/mum/uncle used to have one of those." Recently my girlfriend was staying in one morning cos we were having a new mattress delivered. The doorbell rang, and when my girlfriend opened the door she found the delivery guy ogling the car saying "ahh I used to have one of these.... etc"I've only had one adverse reaction, and that was from an oik guffawing loudly through the passenger window of a white van.The best example of snobbery I've encountered was a few years back when my friend and I turned up to a car show in a slightly battered maroon LHD BX Mk1 19 TRD (originally from Rome!) intending to display it in a small area reserved for the Citroen Car Club. The chap running the stand, who had an immaculate Traction Avant, immediately turned his nose up saying "You can't park that here. Don't park it next to my car... etc" and directed us to the rear of the area. (Yeah, thanks for the nice welcome )He must have been fuming when (I kid you not) over the course of the day a fair number of people walked straight past his Traction and were all over the BX saying "Ah, fantastic car, I used to have one like this.... etc...etc." Mark.

[Mr H Sceptre]

The Humber Sceptre used to get a lot of 'my Dad used to have one of these' type comments.Myself & m'colleague Mr Leyland were driving from Leicester to North Wales in my old Austin 1300 & were in slow moving traffic on the A50 when a bunch of pissed up lads came alongside in an Audi A4 Cabrio or suchlike. It was a scorching day so they had the hood down, I had my window open. I was expecting a bit of abuse, as these blokes came across as wankers, but to my suprise, one of the lads in the back piped up with something along the lines of 'Thats a proper bloody bloke's car that is, not like this piece of gay shit we're in' , thumbs aloft. Great stuff.

I looked at a Bristol last year, or rather the remnants of one, politely declined, anyhows, there's another guy there, who's in the Bristol club, we exchange small talk, turns out he has the same model of car as me, gets interesting, then he asks if I'm a member of his club, I give a negative response and conversation stops dead as I'm cold shouldered, cliquey or what. I fear he may be fairly typical, don't care, never had the desire to join some fruity little club.
