[23carragold]

[D--R--E--W]

OP is a douche?

[rick_VTR]

slightly off topic

but,

i hate the older type that work in a garage and when you go in with your car for say tyres or an MOT or something simple they instantly take a disliking to you because your car is lowered.

i went to one garage to get two new front tyres and the tracking done (i had done suspension work so it needed adjusting slightly)

and he gave me a massive rant about how lowering the car is whats caused it to alter the tracking and scrub your tyres off blah blah blah.

then a young lad come over and just said yeah whack it on the ramp ill sort it for you now and told the old guy to go make a brew lol.

thats my rant over.

Your from MK, you should be used to hundreds of douchebags who know nothing about cars, most of them aren't old either ;)

[23carragold]

[Heftydanielson]

I've had it before. So many old people complain about the most simplest shite in work it takes the piss.

It's just how they are. but they wont be around for long. ;)

[Tontsy]

yeah something like that :A:

[Ashleyp]

I live there mate, from Watford ;)

Tbh, I haven't seen much douche's with no idea here if I'm honest.

You mustn't leave the house enough then lol.

[johnlambert]

I laughed....it annoys me when people dont have a basic clue about a car that belongs to them...

Those ebay chips are raaaapid..

[Granty312]

Not everyone is a car fanatic! But yes, nothing worse than going into a garage and all they do is moan about a modded car -_-

[Dom]

23Carragold, have you seen the chavtastic MK Cruise?

Ps. What do you work as in MK? Ain't you a copper?

[23carragold]

............

[Ashleyp]

A swift commute to and from work my friend, I must be bypassing the bellends lol.

Thats the best way! :D

When i'm back home, we spend quite a bit of time skating in MK, even just getting from place to place I seem to see more pricks in hatchbacks than any other town / city i've been too lol.

[Dom]

Mate I work in Aylesbury, Assistant Branch Manager at Enterprise, and work in Brent as a Police Officer.

From the sounds of it, I am thankful I haven't seen the MK cruise..although I have heard some "lovely" things about it.

Ah sorry my mistake. Fair play for doing the Police thing.

The Cruise was good before kids in crap cars started to go down there. Replaced car enthusiasts with cunts!

[TomT]

Example two - Some idiot came in and "bragged" that he had bought a "tuning box off ebay" to increase the HP of his 58 plate Audi A4...2.0TDi...:wall::wall:


What's wrong with that..

[23carragold]

[TomT]

It's a hard life, I know. <3

[Gabbastard]

I like it when you talk to some mechanic in a garage who starts wittering on like he knows it all and you're just sat there going "have you any idea how much shit you're talking? You're such a douche"

[Lewis1600]

I had a oldish guy this afternoon, ask me if my car was a subaru. 'cause it had a S on the front.

Its a seat ibiza mate.

i fucking hate this!

all the fucking time i get the old codgers who automatically have an attitude to me saying 'youve ruined it, its not supposed to be lowered, its dangerous, everything will break etc etc'... also with the decat exhaust, 'its illegal, the old bill will do you' :wall: fuck off! i dont need your opinion on what you think!

I get this alot about de-cat the other day i went to get some gaskets and clamps from the local motor spares place and the lad behind the counter was asking me what exhaust i had and i said i had the supersprint with the de-cat and 421 manifold. By this time there was some middle age lady stood behind me and started ranting on about how i was killing the artic environment with a de catted exhaust , and that im a criminal breaking the law :fcuk: lol i simply laughed and said " ARTIC ..... what the hell are you going on about , I dont have nothing against polar bears its my car my choice and i dont think your ment to listen to random peoples conversations "

Honestly i love polar bears guys :hug:

[Barry123]

Went to a garage to get some tyres fitted to my sisters camper. Her and her BF were going to europe so wanted a bigger profile to increase the circumference and reduce fuel consumption (effectively decreases FD). Tyre man tells me it won't make a difference to speed, flatly refuses to believe anything I tell him and he reminds me that he's the expert.

:ninja::ninja::ninja:

Should have told her that catalysts don't reduce co2. And then punched her.

[CrouchyM]

Should of told her to moan at people with v8 range Rovers, ferrari's and anyone driving a pre-cat car if she's that bothered.

Stupid bitch.

Diesel tuning boxes are common, plenty on ebay. Some are duffers but if you can get hold of a half-decent one such as DTUK or TDI-Tuning they do actually increase the BHP of your car.

It works like a generic chip, making the ECU squirt more fuel into the cylinders to up the power. Nowhere near as good as a custom remap but they are a quick, easy fix for more power on your diesel. My mate had a plug-in tuning box on his Astra CDTi 150. After a quick, simple installation my Civic Type R had trouble keeping up.

It's true, plenty of tdi owners tend to use one untill they bother to get it their car mapped.

Yes they add more fuel but they don't add more air, so you're just over fueling and kicking out more black smoke.

haha thats great :y:

[bboy90]

I just went to see a 51 plate fiat punto and the guy that owned it said it could do with the plugs and points being done and that we should get the carb set up properly. And apparently its impossible to weld an exhaust as the metals too thick.

[thenice]

There are plenty of young people as well! for example, one of my sons would have trouble just opening the bonnet!
