Funny guy in petrol station been a boy racer

[ldavies]

Thought I would post this guys just so more people realise there really is some total twats out there.

As I've had a few issues with car recently not been out in it for weeks. So as I've fixed my last issue which was the engine mount I go and fill the car up at the local petrol station just round the corner.
Filled up and went in to pay.
Guy behind counter, middle aged looked a bit odd and in my opinion looked a bit of a twat in a nut shell.
He says with a que of people behind me in the que what size engines in the car, I tell him a 1.6.
Why have you got an intercooler then?
Because it's supercharged, when the belt gets fitted and mapped.
Why on earth would u supercharge a 1.6 engine
I tell him cos it weighs the weight of a fag packet and it will be running X amount of power when mapped. Thought that would be that then he says
That's not a lot of Hp.
My bike would kill that.
I knew he was a twat right then and told him
A car and a bike not even in same league
He tries to brag to me about what bike hear got and I didn't even let him finish I just said
My manager is a big biker and has a triumph rocket 2.3 litre, he shits it.
Then he says my 206 would kill that it's supercharged and running 450hp Ye right
I say why would u supercharge a 206 like you just asked why would I supercharge a 1.6
Really can't be arsed anymore and a woman behind says my Mazda rx8 would leave that for dead.
I tell her if it was mapped and running boost it wouldn't stand a chance she says Ive already beaten a few boy racers in Saxos and 106,s.
I tell her she might have but not a boosted one.
Just as I was walking out he says my 206 has nos, lol I turn round and say Nos is for little boys just to piss him off, he shuts up.
Just thought I would share my experience with a local twat.

Can't even go to the local petrol station at back again without people picking you out as a boy racer cos ure in a 106 even with my 2 kids in the back.

Agreed there mate lol.

Why do people always compare bikes to cars when talking about racing and then People thing cos one cars got more Hp than the other then the one with the most Hp is faster.

Should have got the video up of Colin's 106 turbo from atspeed overtaking the R1.

[Gandi699]

More to point this broke you mentioned asked you about your car, then says his own is running a similar setup and blah blah blah. So he would know about the setup wouldn't he if he wasnt an utter billy bullshitter.

My thought exactly mate.
Why would Someone that's middle age feel the need to talk shit like that.
No disrespect to people that work in garages but he didn't look the brightest tool in the box.

[Gandi699]

Just a local idiot, trying to one up people with bull shit stories. Not even worth conversing with

Should have asked him to see a pic of the supercharged 206 he reckons he owns.
I've put a fair whack into my build and I earn a very good wage even if I do own a 106 lol but for him to have a so called 450hp 206 supercharged then he must earn some big bucks behind that counter in the petrol station.

[ldavies]

Hess been reading the car magazines off the shelf on a night in the petrol station lol

[Mickswan]

I got pulled by the plod doing 55 in a 40 in my old mans 2008. He said he'll recommend me for a speed course which in doing this Sunday.

I wonder if he'd been as generous if I'd been in the Saxo

Nah he would have banned u for life and had the Saxo crushed if you were in the Saxo lol

[stevo67]

Easy option is take your business to another fuel station mate,hit them in the pocket.

[Manu]

if branded station such as shell or BP, send an email to customer services... As a customer, I expect courtesy and certainly not dick size measurements from the person operating the till.

[b0t13]

hes just an idiot, trying to have 'car talk' but cant relate because his life is crap lol

just leave him be, then come back when its finished and show him how awesome it is..

then hell tell his friends that his other 'friend' has a supercharged 106 and only buys fuel from him, and your best mates, and he helped to build it, and he also has a 106, but his is faster..

I got stopped a few times in the VTR and left with a sore ear and a slapped wrist, first time in the Xantia and i get a ticket. It all depends on the circumstances i guess

[ESD1711]

I actually LOVE the stereotypes which folk immediately apply to you when they see a Saxo..... that's what makes it half the fun.

I don't really care what folk think, chances are I've probably already pre-judged them in their mundane family bus as it is anyway :)

[Gabbastard]

Chances are that cunts got a girlfriend, and shes totally smoking hot, but he doesnt have any pictures cos its a new phone, and hed tell you her name but you wouldnt know her anyway because she goes to a different school though its a shame because her family are moving away soon and he cant do anything about it but hes not that gutted because they have did sex already.

In short, hes a fucking lying pie. Next time you have to go there, just melt his head with some unbelievable lies of your own.

[Steve_GTI]

You have sumed it all up there. It makes me laugh as all people care about is BHP. Because so so so's dad has an Evo and its running 800bhp and does over 200mph......

[12u55]

This is it. Now i've stopped driving a saxo, and own a more modern vehicle, i've found that people treat you differently on the roads, e.g junctions, merging, over taking etc.
and twats no longer feel the need to race me at traffic lights. :,)

[saxokid100]

Sounds like all mouth no action!! kind of petrol station muppet..

Try driving an Audi - I'm actually invisible at junctions... no fucker ever lets you out. I'd hate to drive a porsche and try getting out at a junction - you'd be there days...

I find I actually get a whole lot MORE respect in my Audi than I do in my Saxo tbh...?

Maybe it's because I have a chavvy Audi.

Chavvy how lol?

Mine isn't exactly inconspicuous either tbh haha!!

[KamRacing]

you rose to the bait.....should have said its an extra large radiator as the car overheats

[Manu]

that, and those have a go cunts who get right up your back bumper taking the piss and try having you to go faster. It's almost always a shit car with pancakes for brake discs, or girls with lowered tin cans on halfords alloys and nichikamoosu tyres. Had a guy recently, same fat bastard twice in a week driving a ford ka coming inches behind and making wanker gestures, pointing at my car etc. Clearly had some sort of a grudge. No seatbelt, so the second time he landed on his cockpit. He stayed well away afterwards...

Seems like in a saxo, you'll attract certain types and in other cars you get other types of idiots. I get a lot of 12-14 plate mercs trying to compare dick size whenever driven by those middle age types.

[euro-r]

I have a wry smile on my face right now, I've just bought a green mk1 VTS. I was told that I'd be classed as chavvy now BUT I don't give a damn what people think of me.
I'm happy and that's all that matters. Life is just too short to worry about what other people think. You could have pulled up to that petrol station in a brand new Ferrari and you would still have had to listen to verbal diarrohea from that guy.

Dont want to be brake checking a ford KA mate, he'll go right into the back of you. Just sorted a set out on a family members with a fluid change and what not and its still like the pedal doesn't actually do anything unless you absolutely jump on it. Worst brakes i've ever known on a car, and this is with a system thats all working well with no leaks

You've clearly never had the pleasure of a Mk3 mini (or earlier) with drum brakes all round :D

[Ross]

Mine makes that look like it's stealth... ;)

do metros count? Had some pretty shocking brakes on some of those but most of that was down to just plain lack of care from previous owners which I had to sort out.
I think crap brakes on a mini is kind of forgiveable as they are as old as the hills however they should be shit hot on a 2004 Ford KA at least at the initial bite. Not much weight to stop any way considering its got a special ferrous "self lightening" process going on from the day it left the production line

[stevo67]

Aah the good old metro,I had 3 of them.They handle brilliantly but rot like hell & leak oil.

Merlin Purple drooooool!

Lovely car mate :)

[Synister]

You had to pump the brake once or twice before it actually 'worked'. Good fun if you had psychic abilities, scary when you're flat out around the b-roads.

[rushy_23]

No point entertaining those sorts of people.

Similar situation I had in a petrol station, guy was asking questions about the EK9. I just said its standard, no frills or thrills, killed the conversation there and then.

[jack-s5axy]

take a fair bit off stick because Im 29 and have a "chav tastic saxo" lol

its a track car and if I put it on its roof I can get another for sub 300 bucks ..... enough said

great little car

Exactly mate I'm 30 and seem to get a lot of stick lol.
Always get told it's a boy racers car and a 17yrs old car not a 30 years old car l.
Well for starters A: 17 yr olds may have 106 gti,s but I'm pretty sure they don't have a supercharged one
And
B: they make bloody good track cars and that's the plan with mine

[ESD1711]

Haha I can trump that, i'll turn 34 next month :)

As I say, folks perception doesn't bother me one little bit.

[Gandi699]

I would highly doubt most 17 years could afford the insurance on a genuine 106 gti, more likely a quicksilver with an undeclared swap. That or one of those 3 pot sporty looking fiestas on a shit load of finance lol
