He had already been told

 

I love these stories and hate them all at the same time.

 

And that's a real shame. There's nothing wrong in trying to preserve the Queens English?
Having been brought up in the '50's and '60's and using the equivalent 'street speech' of the day, I eventually grew out of it. I now realise how important it is to at least, attempt the English language (As odd as it is, in some ways!) Mind you, I recently became very annoyed when my brother-in-law suggested it might be time I 'grew out of' driving such a car and going to motorsport meetings and shows. What a meddling old fart (and he's slightly younger than me and has no hobbies or passion for anything in his life!)
I'm not having a go at anyone here, it's just that as intelligent people, you may find your attitude to 'fashion speek' will change as you get a bit older

iv had this a few times some chav in a corsa with plastic wheel trim spinners an a scooby bonnet vent stuck on they are a different breed

 

I think you will find that is spelt, 'fashion speak'

I'm sorry, I just can't help being a bit of a tw@t at times! As a 24 year old from Bradford one would assume I'd be illiterate. Good to see some people are still proud to be coherent when they speak/write.

Bravo JohnD!

 

Doubt it, Jeff is quite 'mature' himself

 

Slight variation on the theme of this thread, but a few months ago a young Asian lad was at the pump opposite and he said to me, "Shouldn't you be driving a big old Merc?".

Too which I replied, "No-one ever overtook anything in a big old Merc..."

dunx

 

When asked what its running I normally say 'dunno, its my wifes car, she's just not sure what fuel to put in so I do it for her'

That normally stops them in their tracks

 

He will be able to buy an Impreza soon, with the current climate

 

Would love to say the e was right next to the a on the keyboard - but it's not Isn't it amazing how you make a blunder when commenting on subjects like this!

Saxo is an affordable and capable car with an agile chassis and nimble handling. With a few modifications you can significantly enhance the performance of the car, esp the VTS, just a shame these little oiks have ruined the car.

 

Don't worry about it

It'll cost him a fiver to start the damn thing then the bottom end will go

 

Haha!

I normally get asked, how fast you had out of it?

70...

 

Nice 1 bruv lol

 

The amount of people that have asked me that lol. I keep having to explain to them that the car isn't geared up to be used at top speed and is more to do with the acceleration.

But props to H he has definately kept the riff raff out of the club.
