JWM Posted 30May, 2016 Report Share Posted 30May, 2016 Ha that sort of thinking used to amaze me, then I watched someone change a boat, for another boat... I still saw a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 30May, 2016 Report Share Posted 30May, 2016 I usually agree with all their expressed sentiments... Nod at the right time, laugh and titter. But reality is I get very little of it ( ridicule) compared to what I experience here. ?? I drive older cars ( in beguiling paint schemes or distressed effects ) and not Red or Blk cars... Certainly not newer beasties where I guess most of the contempt is spewed forth... Even my partner she thinks I'm a wanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 30May, 2016 Report Share Posted 30May, 2016 Ha that sort of thinking used to amaze me, then I watched someone change a boat, for another boat... I still saw a boat.ha describes me to a tee. "Look at my boat"er, is it for fishing? (Thinks of something to say). Nice rod holders?i am surrounded by boat people. When I got my car, 'what did you buy that for?'Answer : why do you have a boat?i can tell you, a Porsche is a hell of a lot more useful than a fishing boat. And it doesn't make you barf.i would be interested in a boat at the same time I could buy one with a kitchen and dunny. Until then, not so much. Went to the shops today in the 911. When I got out of the car this smart arse bogun says "nice Volkswagen mate". Wow, that's original. So I replied with " nice lancer. If I sell my porsche I could buy 50 of them and build one good one". I don't get the VW 'insult' - why is it supposed to hurt?i would never spar with someone like that- smirk and thumbs up is all they would ever get from me.The most I will ever come back with (for friends, not strangers) is 'oh, so your Porsche hasn't got any vw parts?'I suspect the 928 doesn't have any VW parts, but it would be the only one.

If they have one say "nice attempt at copying a 911 mate" as the modern rear windscreen wiper design is a trademark of the 911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronBayChris Posted 30May, 2016 Report Share Posted 30May, 2016 Loading the 993 onto a truck today - a bozzo in a rusty falcodore drove past and yelled out (with his ciggy between his teeth) "ya need to give it a good porsche to get it going". I just gave him a thumbs up and hoped his car didn't fall apart anywhere near me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 24July, 2016 Report Share Posted 24July, 2016 Should've told him/her? that it has a gravity feed tank and the fuel drains directly into the engine. that would keep 'em guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 4October, 2016 Report Share Posted 4October, 2016 So I was in a drive through getting some supplies on the weekend. Old mate stumbles out of the bar as I was about to get in.'nice Porsche 911 mate, what's that, a 78?''thanks, yeah it's an 81 actially''yeah, always liked these. What year did they stop making 911s?''um, they're still making them?'to be fair he might have meant impact bumper cars, but was a little sozzled.

ANF Posted 4October, 2016 Report Share Posted 4October, 2016 Not something people have said but what people do when I am driving my 928, I have never had so many people tail gate me! And bloody close too, I scared one of them shitless the other day by when I backed off slightly (to keep a safe gap in front of me) and she almost hit me!!Most people have no idea what a 928 is or who makes it, yet........

Timm Posted 4October, 2016 Report Share Posted 4October, 2016 The other day I was stuck in traffic and a guy in a car next to me yelled out "That's a nice series 4 rx7, I used to have one!"I had a good chuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 5October, 2016 Report Share Posted 5October, 2016 You should have made Rotory engine noises ................you should have asked him if he knows a good apex seal dealer.Porsche centre service "we changed the pollen filter"2010 Boxster always driven with the roof down!!!!/engage pedantrythe pollen filter is more about protecting the HVAC system from debris and making sure it has clean air to pump around than stopping you getting the sniffles. But it was a clever bit of marketing to call it a pollen filter./disengage pedantry It is worth paying the extra for the activated carbon filters, but probably not so for convertibles!

Jkay Posted 7October, 2016 Report Share Posted 7October, 2016 I swear 90% of all Honda drivers are "elderly types". There must be a secret brotherhood or something..or 60 & over clubs get a pensioner deal. haha guess I'm in the other 10% then.... and I still sometimes get asked for ID when purchasing alcohol 911 Turbo 1. Is that a 4 cylinder or a V8?2. Oh it's a Boxster Turbo 3. And all the usual "paying you too much" stuff. I just choose not to spend my money on other stuff lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob H Posted 26February, 2017 Report Share Posted 26February, 2017 I already had a 3.2 Carrera, when I asked my girlfriend (at the time)"Do you think I should buy it ?" - It being an old 993 GT2 replica race car with all the trimmings, wide body, 12.5" wide rears, low, loud 3.8 with ITB's, Motec, caged etc.She says, "Yes! It looks really cool" - it did too!So, I bought it, thus starting a two year long argument culminating in our break up.Sadly the car is gone now too.
