My art teacher told us that he punched a shark on the nose when it tried to attack him.

I think people assumed I was BullSh1tting when I posted about racing a Lambo in my Mk2 Golf GTI, I didn't claim to win !

Some random bloke the other day told me I should take my GTR to "the Pod", which I assume meant Santa Pod for a spot of drag racing. He then started telling me about his 10 second Mk2 Escort. He may have been telling the truth, but I doubt it.

One of the guys who used to work here always came out with bullsh*t car tales

on his first day I showed him a pic of my scoob, and he showed me a pic of his dads mates Veyron, the next day I came to work in the scoob, it turns out this Veyron was one he had seen on saturday night parked up in Liverpool

He had a picture of an R32 as his background, and told us it was his, then he told us he bought two brand new Audi S3's one for him and one for his mum

He had the oldest company car here, and cadged lifts from everyone he could

He was only 18, and he left when we found out his mum was a Yummy Mummy on that Football program on a saturday

used to know someone in green 1.4 saxo.

Could do a top speed of 140 ish miles per hour and had a 6 speed box although oddly 6th gear was in the same place as 5th gear and there was no point using first gear as it just spun the wheels .

doing 140mph wasnt a problem as he knew all the police and they would just let him off for doing 140 in a 50 .

loads more stories off him, wheels were the only wheels in the UK, seats cost 1000's spent £28k on his car. Had it supercharged etc etc

Best story i heard is a guy who claims that a citroen BX (maybe cant remember) is the fastest cornering car in the world due to its active suspension. Claimed his car would out corner my STI and he had trashed ferraris round corners. The funny thing is he got very annoyed when we told him he was talking *****. It was over on AVforums. If i cant find it ill post a link. Funny stuff.

Other funnies include an air filter and a back box on a 1.1 saxo giving the car an extra 30bhp.

Sounds like these people are everywhere.. I regularly get that when talking about cars. For example:


Friend: "Mr X kept up with a 400bhp car in his Impreza, so his car is around 400bhp..."

Me: "No, because I was the guy driving the 400bhp car and I wasn't giving it large, so I'm surprised that he never passed me!?"

Friend: "Well, his does a 13.7 up Crail 1/4 mile"

Me: "Well mine did a 12.6 @ Crail"

Friend: "Oh..."


I also made a guy at school cry once at a party. After blowing the top off the head on his pint in my direction, I let rip and came out with every one of his ridiculous stories in front of everyone, who fell about laughing, until then we'd all just laughed behind the guys back at his bull$hitting!! Here are a few of his gems:

- Grandpa thought up James Bond and had one of the multi-purpose pens at his house in a cabinet.
- His aunt worked in the factory that made brazillian Ronaldos R9 boots, so he was going to get his own G10 boots made specially for him. (He is called Gary)
- He once did 140mph in his dads boss' Ferrari 355 in his driveway at home. (Driveway was 10m long, max)
- Could have played football for Chelsea, but turned down the pro contract because he wanted to stay with his lass and do Business Admin @ College instead.





Cheers,
Grant

I know someone who had a mazda 323 1.6 fastback that was 110 clicks and hour as standard then apparently he got it to 147 after he fitted a universal japanese backbox . My response was "did you drive it off a cliff?" and the answer i got was no honestly it now does 147. I think it something to do with being jelous of my scoob but it is the most blatant load of bullsh*t ive ever heard. Oh and along with his old 1.4 12 valve escort with twin weber carbs, yes i questioned the 12 valves and he replied 'special one off from Ford when it was new'. Really . I have more examples which would make you all laugh but i will leave it here for now.

we had lad at work who reckoned his uncle had a continentla gt, one night at some lights with a few of us in the car he saw one, and said there he is..

we were sat next to him at the lights and he shrivelled down the seats.
he reckoned he was in a band/dj gang quite famous locally, but one of the lads in the office is actually in it. and has never met him before in his life. he got the bullet from our place.
