My lunch time treat. Oh dear oh dear...
Popped to the petrol station at lunch time to fill her up, on pulling in a chav in a "pimped up" saxo (innit bruv!) was revving his **** off behind me. I fill up, he puts £5 in. We get inside and he shouts "here mate how many horses you running?" - i said none, it's a car. He said ya know boss brake horse power, i said its standard so about 225. He said yeah mate my saxo 270bhp is that i'd leave you for dust. Very good i said (whilst looking at the heap of **** he arrived in). The lad behind the counter said to him that he has a friend with a 440bhp impreza, the chavs response? "Nahhhh bruv cant get dem past 250 innit, proper **** engines" to which he handed over his loose change for £5 of fuel and strutted his stuff out of there (with the stereotypical limp on one leg). Genuinely, the most entertaining petrol stop i've ever had.

I get a bit of that sometimes when I'm working on the car. You hear them coming saying "yes bruv nice Scooby, what you running?" to that I usually say its standard, which is usually then followed by "what's it worth mate? Bet it's nuff money" I usually smile and say not a lot". There an interesting breed!

Not cars but I fly fast model planes from a private sports field and get bulls**t like that from uneducated, illiterate morons all the time. Now a couple of my planes are F5B planes which means they're close to 200 mph but there's always some **** who tries to tell me how to fly and they're not always young!

He asked what I was running.I said standard.He said his uk 2000 was running 300.I asked him if his made exactly 300 on a dyno,not 299 or 301.He said its not been on one yet as the clutch can't put all the power down.
When he drove off he tried a full throttle start which was nothing more than a screaming slipping clutch as it gently pulled away.

Love threads like these.....Ages ok i was out on my kawasaki zzr1100 and some chav pulls up next to me revving his suzuki moped up. He shouts to me "oi bruv bet i can leave ya standing"
So me being me on the 1100 lets him pull away n beats me. Hes bouncing away "oi bruv you aint got no idea how to race init"
Shame he didnt realise the luggts we was at started at national speed limit so twist the wrist and see ya!!!! Thought i was doing a "ghost rider" impression.... pmsl

I used to compete F3A (R/C aerobatics to others on here) Most people have absolutely no idea of the skill level required to compete at national, let alone international, level.
I've known pilots licence holders who've struggled to progress beyond little more than 'sports' models, thinking that flying models must be a piece of p**s after full size!
