General Car BS !

[Dany4494]

Just fancied a giggle whats the best BS you have heard of someone, for me its got to be guy at work telling me about his old escort and how it had a top speed of 105 then goes on to tell me he bought a bottle of nos (the type you pour in petrol tank like red ex fuel flush) from halfords then he said it did 135 or my mate that rang me up telling me about his new backbox thats a guaranteed 15bhp on a 1.2 corsa and no matter how much i told him it was bollox he was convinced.

Whats the best Bullshit you've heard ?

[Chris_O]

Just general bollocks from those type of thick cunts that don't have a clue. Eg apparently a standard shitbox fiesta st would piss all over a turbo vts, yeh ok then.

Nothing winds me up more than people who just chat blatant bollocks when talking about cars and stuff, what makes them do it?

[Ali123]

my old mate drove a 1.2 corsa, it was fucked and it made a whining kinda sound when hed let off the throttle and tried to tell people that it was his turbo :s

[Dany4494]

Haha it used to piss me off but now its just makes me laugh how stupid they sound, love hearing a good BS from someone who actually thinks your buying it haha.

[DreamEater]

I work with a Latvian who is convinced his 13 year old Audi A8 is better than any car that's 6 years old for around 5k.

Oh but hes picked his numbers carefully... ;)

There's a lot an a8 can own in that bracket. Depends how you define better. Not a lot of 6 year old cars for £5k that are quicker top end for example. Equally a £4k scooby will roast an a8 round the track.

Horses for courses :)

It's a 2.8V6, it can't beat my 1.9TiD Saab Vector Sport.

It wasn't about top end etc, it was just better quality and less worn parts etc.

[Cam]

Old boy at my work thinks his fooking jack of all trades and knows everything (because he knows i like playing with my cars its always when i had my mini blah blah), was talking to him about my old mans car blowing the big ends out he went oh whats he going to do put a new head on it :homme:
I said new head its the botterm end and said thought you done it all before, he went ermm ermmm yer i was just testing you :afro:

[iVTR]

Endless stories of Shell V Power and 'beating' 911's ect.


And don't even get me started on the subject of motorbikes.

The amount of bullshit is unreal. 'Oh yeah i've been meaning to do my test...'

I'm not allowed one from the GF

I'd kill myself on one of them things

facepalmmmmmmmmm

[Lewis1600]

Ive had shit loads of arguments with boy racers round here for the amount of BS they tell me..

Ive had my 106 1.1 is 105bhp, with a big bore exhaust, and head work. Yes of course.

Another, my ibiza cupra 20vt, its had new engine from a audi tt, the 2.0 20vt.. Again no such thing.

All sort round here lol

[jones91]

theres one lad that lives in the same town as me who has a c2gt with a cat back exhaust and one of those shitty ebay superchips, and claming its producing 190bhp..... so i keep offering him a chance to have a little play against my turbo'd vts, and hes always saying hes got to go off and do something else lol

[dondan]

I went on this website once where everyone was convinced that a VTS is faster than anything else on wheels...

Ha ha I had that from a lad who came for a gti spoiler fitting to his 106. Turns out it did actually have 110bhp from a 1.1 with tb's and loads of other work and he works at rs tuning in Leeds I actually made a huge cock of myself tbh.

[Saxotim]

1/4 mile at pod against this mong i know, 1.7cdti corsa c, 2 secs slower than me, came out with the classic line.. 'yeah but 2 secs isnt that far away!' over a quarter of a mile mate, a quarter of a mile.

endless stories (same kid) of 'beating' 172's and vts's everywhere he goes etc etc.

Fair enough If he proves it and it actually the real deal, but this guy works in citroen as a quick fitter, the 106 was white with blue racing stripes, 2 bucket seats and steels, wasnt lowered, and it had a 4'' back box.

No TBs, no 4 branch system, no mapping, just the back box and straight through and the magical head work!!

Its a 101bhp it made sorry, on a RR in collage...

The same RR my mates standard mk1 VTR with 120k miles, redlined in every gear in its ownership, with no back box and net been serviced in 2+ years make 112bhp..

[Tommo87]

I had some lad tell me the car I was driving didn't exist as according to him Honda never made an Accord Type-R.

[GolfJay]

I'm not allowed one from the GF

I'd kill myself on one of them things



Why would they be bullshit? The reason I don't have a motorbike is because my ex said she'd walk away if I did. Plus the fact i'd be dead in a week!

[iVTR]

:homme:

That is all!

[Pitbull69]

exactly the same reason I havent got one, well she isnt my ex (yet)

My Ex said that to me, but I still bought one..

And I will probably kill myself on it but Ill be die with a smile :D

Good to see some people wear the trousers in the relationship..

It's not a case of wearing the trousers. It's a case of priorities. You may understand when you grow up.

priorities like what?

Relationships? :homme:

[xscottxx]

i would kill myself if i got a bike...hence i'm going to wait till i'm 30 odd when i'll more than likely have kids etc to stay alive for. also i prefer cars to bikes and there's many, many cars i need to own before i go down the bike route.

best BS i heard was that a 1.4 clio could keep up with a b18c4 EG civic. she really did think she would piss all over it because "it's old".

wouldn't do a straight line race with the civic though, strangely.

[smiith]

I got told by someone once, his VTR did 60 in second.. Fucking mug.

mine actually does. don't know if it's cos i have 15's on it or whether the speedos out, never checked it with a sat nav. but if i get to 6100rpm in 2nd...speedo says 60.

[smiith]

never thought it could be the momentum the car keeps when changing gear thats when it hits 60? Sit with it on the limiter, see how close the speedo stays to 60

never sat on the limiter as don't want to blow it up. only ever done it on short slip roads etc, not saying it actually does do 60, but i can see why people would think it is if the speedo says it.

[iVTR]

Mine does 60 in second too, I think smith is trolling.

I hope.

[smiith]

Mine used to do 100 in 3rd too..

[xscottxx]

to confirm: i know full well it's not actually doing 60, what i'm saying is if somebody just flat out trusted the speedo and it says 60 in second, i can see why they would think it does.

my vtr struggled past 100/105 and that was in 4th.

[smiith]

1st 4 gears on the limiter, because im awesome!

lul wut?

You just said it indicated 60 GPS in second?

I know mine does 60 in second.

Does about 90 in third

[xscottxx]

No sorry, I meant I hadn't tested via GPS. The only sat nav I've used is the one of my phone (Galaxy S2) and it doesn't show your speed.

I would say 90 in third is about right for mine as well but I don't know if it actually does hit 60 in second or whether the speedo is out.

[Carl-h]

Fucks sake smith was taking the piss VTR's will do 60 in second on the limiter. It's the worst thing about the car, drop it to 50 and although the 0-60 time would be fractionally slower the car would be much more fun.

I can relate to the people who don't want bikes as they'd kill themselves or their mrs wouldn't like it. My mrs doesn't really like it but the bikes were there before her so she doesn't have much choice really.

[xscottxx]

So what would a vtr hit in 2nd with a 1.1 box in it?

[smiith]

I don't get this whole "id kill myself if i got a bike".. No you wouldn't.. I, with most things, am a fucking idiot.. Yet i get crossers, and go up on the moors, with shorts and tshirt, and no helmet, and I've never once hurt myself.. You get on a bike, and become loads more aware of what you're doing.. People manage to drive cars without crashing.. Same deal on a bike.. Don't always have to go flat out do you..

My worry would be more about other motorists. I've seen how people cut me up etc when I'm in a car, fuck that shit on a bike.

I'm all for off roading though, fuck yeah.

[iVTR]

Well said that man.

It's basically an excuse as they are too pussy.

Even that.. You are aware enough in a car, to see someone is going to cut you up.. So surely you would still see it coming on a bike, and have better brakes, slow down faster, and be able to move quicker..

I don't accept the "id kill myself if i had a bike" argument, as an acceptable excuse!

[iw_laurence]

you are at more risk on a bike than in a car

[iVTR]

:clapping:

[smiith]

I think he came to that conclusion all by himself..

But people say they would kill themselves, not be crashed into

[iw_laurence]

Plenty of nippers down here killing themselves on bikes. I would push myself to the limit on a bike and thats how I know I would end up causing damage to myself/others.

You wouldn't though.. You would ride at a safe limit.. You don't go into corners at 120 in a car.. Because you know you will crash and get hurt..

[iw_laurence]

But my car isn't built to do those speeds. A bike almost invites you to go fast, You have no distractions and because you have the power there you wont just rumble along doing 40, I can do that in a car!

Don't talk wet, its rare people would put themselves in life threatening situations.. Your brain has a built in self preservation.. You don't see Porsche drivers doing tripple figures everywhere.. Just as you see the majority of bike riders don't nail it at 100+ everywhere, they simply cruise at 80-90, because they can, and can get past traffic quicker.

[iVTR]

It's entirely different mate.

If you have any sense it's likely you feel more vunerable on a bike.

So the opposite of what everyone says they 'reckon'

I'm worse in the car..

Because you know that if you fuck up - it's going to hurt, so you can only play when the conditions allow, i.e no traffic, decent weather, no police scamera's about..

At least that's how I see it, do you all have no self control?

I think we would use bikes for different things. I would not buy a bike for a daily commute, pleasure ride. If I got a bike it would be something performance orientated that could achieve speeds I couldn't in my car. I honestly see no other purpose for them. And you still cant legally cruise at 80-90 anywhere in the UK without breaking the law and travelling too fast for the roads.

What do you mean by play? open the bike up to its full potential. Thats great if you can be 100% sure there isn't a tractor/cyclist/horse round the next blind bend while you have your knee down doing 75. Yes, I have self control, but I know I would want to push and use the power of the bike. And there is nowhere you can do that unless its on a track.

[GolfJay]

Well said that man.

It's basically an excuse as they are too pussy.

You sound like an absolute fucking moron!

I wouldn't have to die to be fucked. Fall off and damage my knee would put me out of work. No work, no money. No money means no house. I also have to put my girlfriend before my toys.

Accidents happen. The fact you were born proves this!

Grow the fuck up!

Might not be legal, but whitby to middlesbrough, i can easily do that road without dropping under 60.. No problem at all.. And from guisborough to whitby.. 20 miles, easily done in a car without dropping under 80..

I would never buy a bike for a commute, id buy it as a toy, which i have done with crossers.. Just because it goes faster than your car, doesn't mean you would perpously put your life on the line.. Just because you had a bike that could do them speeds, doesn't mean your suddenly going to try and do impossible speeds round corners, does it..

If you got in a Ferrari Enzo, you would'nt suddenly start hitting corners at 180mph would you..

Yeah but what I'm saying is the only time I would take it out is to go fast, the roads round me are great roads but bikers come off alot round here. I know if I was to get on a powerful bike I would put myself/other people in a situation.

If I had a supercar I would definately push it to its limit. But on a track.

[griff_106]

Typical school boy, but back in secondary school, I had a mate once who's Dad had a phase 1 Mk1 Laguna 1.8 while my Dad had the phase 2 Mk1 Laguna with the 3.0 V6 lump in it. Guess which one he thought was quicker...

[Gandi699]

My area has just has speed humps put in after two accidents more or less outside my house (1 fatal). Cars slow down for them now but it doesn't seem to stop the clown on a Ducati 1099 from doing silly speeds down there. All I'll say is more fool him when he hits something, and god help who he hits

Firstly, nice insult.

http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/watch-out-we-got-a-badass-over-here-meme.png

Secondly, so would everyone, there's this thing called insurance and loss of earnings. Not that I'd ever want anyone to have to go down that route, just sayin'.

If your worried about riding a bike, the best thing is not to.

So, I don't give a fuck.

[m11ler]

iVTR, what bike do you ride?

[Carl-h]

Bikes are dangerous, no two ways about it. Crash at 60 on a bike or in a saxo and you'll be better off in a saxo, the worst car in the world to crash...

I've been riding years but still appreciate the risks involved and know through no fault of my own each ride could be my last. Same with the car but that thought never crosses my mind tbh. I'm experienced on a bike but still have to treat it and other road users with huge caution/respect. I can see why family/partners would be against it, there's not many people who don't know someone who died on a bike.

End of the day your family or gf or whatever mean more to most people than toys, so I can see why they'd choose not to do it. My gf can see how much bikes mean to me so would never give me an ultimatum. Each to their own.

[GolfJay]

It's basically an excuse as they are too pussy.

Those were your exact words. Nothing to do with being a "pussy" at all.
