I've had no end of silly comments over the 16 years I've been driving (all of which have been Rover/MG Rover cars).


Was out washing my 220 Coupe Turbo one day and a lad walked past and said 'can I have it for banger racing?' (trying to be funny). I said 'No'. He then went on to say how he 'knows about cars and the headgasket will only go on it anyway'. I then explained this is a T-Series engine, not the K-series, although I've had three of those and never had a problem. After a bit more nonsense he gave up and walked off mumbling about something or another.


I used to get no end of people saying how I 'should've bought the Honda instead' in respect to my old 214Si, as 'that had a real wood dash board not the fake plastic one in this'. I then explain how they have their 'facts' NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- about face, the plastic fake wood was in the Honda Concerto, the real walnut veneer was in the Rover.


Not to mention 'should've got a proper car' etc etc.
