Default Priceless!

Im not sure how long this post will stay here, it may end up being muppetised!

Conversation i had with one of the apprentices in the car park today!

Apprentice: Is your car as tuned as much as it can be

Me: No, far from it

A: How much is it worth 8k?

Me: Probably, not sure

A: I know this guy at a garage that really prepares imprezas, he says theyre really cheap and easy to tune

Me: Right.

A: He says all you have to do is change the cams to tune them.

Me: Er, ok

A: Yeah, he says any cam out of any car will fit and makes them really quick

Me: Erm, right ok.

Im sure he has a bit of mongloid in him, hes bound to go through life with people making a mug out of him!

I think he needs to go and ask the parts manager for a long weight - make sure he gets a long one not a short one
