He was probably thinking of that new car where the engines are in the wheels, clever bloke tbh
I've nothing of note. Here's a couple of classics my friends had though, both a fairly long time ago.
A friend on racing and beating a Cooper S mini in his mini, had the occupents of the other car stop and ask "Whats in that" to which they received the reply "Just the two of us".
On overtaking a Sapphire Cosworth at silly speeds in an old beaten up MKII Cavalier, the occupents of the Cosworth somewhat suprised stopped to find out what the Cavalier was. It was the manner that "What the **** have you got in that" was said and the sheer disbelief which was so funny. We just about had them believing it was a standard 1.8 SRi engine.

"Oh, it's only got a tape player" is the first thing anybody seems to say about the 172.
How did I forget all the stuff people used to ask me in the Rover. A few at donington when me and merlin went seemed surprised.
Then a guy on the M40 after sticking with him to XXXmph slow down. WTF is in that?
me - Only a 1.4
him- Yeah right, you were keeping up with me and I have 400hp (R33 GTR skyline).
In the S2000 I took my cousin out- who is pretty into cars. I do a massive slide off a roundabout. "Is it front wheel drive"

Every day when coming back from the GF's, I pass a McD's. Always full of the same chavs. A red (fake) escort GTi and foul orange Corsa with some type of ears? They stare at me every day! I just chuckle to myself.
Anyway, called in there the other day to get some food. I hate drivethru's, so always go in. Chav comes up ...
Chav: "Dat turbo yeh?"
Me: "Yep"
Chav: "Got a dump valve innit?"
Me: "Nope"
Confused look...
Chav: "Dat's not a turbo then, yo!"
Me: "O Rly"

my prelude was called KITT for some reason (cause of the dash, i suppose)
On my road there is a load of kids that are friends and ride up and down on their bikes and play water pistols etc (reminds me when I was a kid, nice people) I always seem to get a "nice car meeeesterrrr" from them.
Theres a new maserati quattroporte on the road too, and i heard the kids go "wooooow i bet its got 100 horsepowers!" and the others going "naaaaaaaaah no way"

Always in the mr2:
Kids - "Is that N0S buttons on your steering wheel?"
Other Drivers - "Mate, you have flames coming from under your car when you change gear" - retort - "Yeh, I know, thats my screamer pipe"

I was getting out of my prelude one day, when a young chav and his mates stopped ...
Chav "nice car mate! is it a turbo ?"
Me "no, its a VTEC"
Chav "so its not a real sports car ?"
Me "its a VTEC, Does not need a turbo"
Chav "real sports cars have turbo's!"

Grow some balls and actually direct that post at someone!
