After a similar thread on Pistonheads the other day a comment a kid made about the car this morning made me think it might be an amusing thread to run here.

So anyway, this morning im trying to sneak a few hours in on the kit this morning before going to the GF's sisters this afternoon. When a few of the little kids who live on the street came up. After showing them a pic of what the car should (eventually) look like one of them came out with

"Why dont you build it into a proper car like a Vectra"



Luckily i managed to resist laughing my ass off at him or making any sarcastic remarks

So over to you - The Funiest things someone has said about your car

I love your Cobra!

(It had Cobra seats....)

Someone said on a Lotus7 forum that my car "looked like it was built by a B & Q shelf stacker".

What is funny is that if I see them, they will find out what a shelf stackers car feels like on top of them !

"Is it a Robin Hood mate?"

after a hose exploded, someone said 'genuine lotus parts....'

"Nice dune buggy" . I thought I was going to kill him but I did't. I just said "yeah", Russ

"thats really smart mate,is it a kit car?" well its not a production car you numpty

Regarding my (still) tarp-covered rolling chassis on the drive, a lad my six-year-old son knows said "is that a racing car?"
Only in my head son

"Where's the one for the other foot?"

Of my Cobra with a 350 Chevy motor - "what did you use a VW Beatle chassis and engine?"

Just thought of another one I got last year

"so you've come in the wheelbarrow again?"

The other half said "Where do i put my handbag"

Roll cage and no windscreen She is going to have a bit of a shock!

Is that a Morgan?

Mother-in-law says to the wife "where is your old man ?"

Reply " In the garage playing with his Nody car"

Are you going to finish this one then?

"Is it petrol or Diesel"

"It looks like Brum !"

"Is it a kit-car ?"

Oh, and my Grandma calls it "your go-cart"

From SMWBO "if you make the boot big enough the dog can sit in the back" [1]

[1] Our dog is a border collie about the side of an alsatian.

Sorry I'm not going to fan the flames, but If TrevD wants to tell the story then its up to him. You HAD to be there.

All I can say is that Trev's comments win HANDS DOWN.









Clue

My foremans 7 year old son to his father " Why is Mark making that gocart so big?"

Mine has become known as "The Custard Tart Mk II". I had a Dutton Mellos same colour which a mate wife christened "The Custard Tart". When the SWIMBO asked what colour was the se7en going to be, reply same as the dutton was, she said Oh! "The Custard Tart Mk II". Ray

Not my car but "hicosts" cossie beast,which was refered to as a Robin hood by the organisers of the Donington show when james had a hot water incident some 3 years back.

Anyway Mrs bob calls my car Joan collins now as she is always saying that bitch in the garage

No-one has ever made a funny remark about my car but yesterday, on the motorway, a rover drew along side me. The passenger window opened and a 10 year old boy'd head popped out, grinning and putting his thumbs up.

I was parked up in a small back street in Penzance. I was returning to the car when a very old lady said 'I think its wonderful that you people are keeping these old cars going' and she gave me 50p! I was so stunned that the moment to explain and return the contribution was lost.

Whilst camping in the New Forest last year, a bloke came up to me and said "these originals are much better than those new Caterhams, don't you think!"

I never did put him right

"Wooooo, cooool, rules man, niceeee!!"

Not a funny comment, but that was actually an AMBULANCE DRIVER yelling at me like he's gone mad, through the HUGE SPEAKER they have. I almost crapped myself when he started it..

I've had more than one person call mine Brum. Probably doesn't help being black and yellow! Other things involve lack of reliability and the father in law complaining that I change gear too much! 'course I do, it's a bec you fool! He's even a biker too! Oh a mate with an Elise is always going on about fit and finish too.....

Not really relevant - but I made a girl scream once when I opened up my old Ducati Paso under a bridge once
