Welcome to my world 
Andy
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

I was told by a Halfords employee that only the expensive alloy wheels had offsets, and the sub £400 a set ones had no offsets at all, and thats why
they were so cheap
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Love the story from halfords, sounds about right!
I used to work with a lad who was into his cars the same as me so we used to chat about them alot, me only being 15 and him being 19 he used to feed
me some tales about his cars, i was always dubious of them though. Then a few years later i saw him at a car show with his 'modded' punto
he had just bought. He was telling me how he had just spent thousands on TVs in his headrests, but wasnt allowed to fit them because he need a
seperate TV licence for them and couldnt afford it for all 4. I just played along with some 'oh right' and 'i see'.
Then a few years later i see him working as a porter at the hospital where my mum works. I started chatting to him about cars again as it was the only
thing we had in common, i asked him what he was driving these days as i had seen him in a 106 diesel. He said his new car had just gone into the
garage to be tuned, so he had a little run about, fair enough i thought. Then he started telling me how they were taking the standard 2.0l V6 (???)
out of his civic typeR and putting some 3l twin turbo or something in it. I just played along and didnt question him, mainly because he was harmless
really, just a compulsive bullsh!tter, could have been funny to embarras him though.
I then told him how i was building a kit car, then i think it grasped him that i knew what i was talking about so he didnt tell me any more tall
tales.

with the quality of the sub £400 halfords wheels, i could well believe that the odd couple get to the shop with no offset.
as for lies, a lad in my general studies class, aptly named billy bullshit, told me him and his dad had spent the weekend putting a straight 6 in his
mum's scenic
the enine arrived friday dinner, they stashed it in the garage, and by monday morning it was done. his mum apparently set off for work, none
the wiser to the new found power, and crashed it before she'd even got to the main road.
i also remember being told that a lad's dad had got 165mph out of a standard 2.0 primera sport effort. i pmsl
why do they do it?

my pinto indy will do 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, probably because it only weighs 275 kg the chassis tubes are filled with helium

We had a teacher at school whose nickname were Bullshit Len - his favourite tale was that during the war (which one was not clear), he came face to
face with two Germans, but only had one bullit left.
He threw his bayonet into the ground, fired his last shot at the blade, split the bullit and got them both!!
Another one, was a guy I thumbed a lift from (in a Mk1 Granda? 2.5 V6 with badly slipping clutch). Said it did 0-60 in 3.5 sec.
Needless to say I nodded politely - I least I was getting a free lift

Over the years (and i'm only 33) i have lost count of the amount of people who claim to have served in the SAS, they always seem to be carrying
substantial beer bellies, all part of the training i guess!!!!!!!!!!!

Well when I was is the SAS you had to drink at least 14 pints a day, it was one of the rules, honest.
Remind me I have to stop making stuff up somebody.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

A Chap that I know had his new company car delivered. A nice new BMW 316. He tried to convince me that it was a V6. Even when I opened the bonnet
& counted out the spark plugs 1, 2, 3, 4, no more. He still wouldn't have it, cos the dealer had told him it was a V6.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Reminds me of a friend who went to look at a petrol Peugeot 306 - couldn't see the plugs (new deep in head apparantly) - dealer said new petrol
engines didn't need them
Dealer since closed down!!

Someone I knew told me his car didn't need spark plugs as it had fuel injection. I couldn't explain to him that the fuel needs igniting so
I left him to it, ignorance is bliss.
