Just been working on the Disco outside, and someone came up to me and asked just that. In fact, I think it's the most common question that people ask me about the vehicle, and I never get fed up of explaining it to people, especially if (like the chap today) they finish the conversation with "Nice car!" or something similar.
So, what's your favourite question that people ask about your vehicle?

"You working on that car again??"

"You working on that car again??"
I get that a lot, there is a man who walks his dog past us and he always stops to see what I'm fixing this week, not that I ever seem to be improving it (eg snorkel, raised), but there always seems to be something wrong with it!
:cry:
-
The usual one I get about the 110 is "why do you want something like that ?" - my reply.......because:
a) I want it
b) I can have it
c) It does everything I ask of it (and a bit more !)
d) It saves me having to hire a van to move stuff about
e) I don't need to clean it when it gets covered in muck and cr4p
The list is endless............

-
Mine's got to be......
"Have you washed it yet?" :lol:
-
I usually get "Cool Car" or "Wow, what do you do in that"
But that's coz I live opposite a primary school :)
I also get "How did you get it THAT dirty" and "Well, it makes mine look clean" from the neighbours....
Did have one chap ask if I carried a carrier bag with me 'coz his dog didn't make that that much mess...!
-
'Why don't you get a normal first car like every other 17 year old?'
umm... Cheap insurance, can get all my mates in the back, so much fun but most importantly it will not be a right off if I hit any thing!
-
How many you got there?
-
"Do you actually off road it then?" crops up alot.
Duh #-o
-
Why dont you get something decent. (as he looks at his boy racer Golf) that is even a GTI.
-
The one that annoys me is
"Like the jeep" and the normal responce "its not a F*****G jeep!!"
-
"you planning a safari or something"? I have had a couple of times (they look surprised when I say Yes)
"Why have you got two"? reply - "cus the big one is the wifes" Shuts em up
"Do you like yellow or something" - "Yes"
But the most common is "whats that bit do"?
closely followed by
"Can I ask a favour of you"? :lol:
-
Noisy, is'nt it!!
(usually my neighbour when i set of to work at 0630)
:lol:
-
I regularly (by land rover and non land rover nuts..)
Bet you wish it was road legal.....
It is. I didnt put tax on it for a laugh..... :?
Why????????
And of course being a hybrid I still keep getting the question EVEN after explining its on the road with tax and MOT....
....."so cutting a chassis up. Is that legal???"
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

*Evil Laugh*
They say the truth hurts :)
-
so do you actually take it off road (usually by mates at school)
also
why???
(they shut up when they realise im driving a V8 at the age of 17 AND paying less insurance than they are on their corsa :D )
-
But if he had the real thing no one would look twice at it! so no one would ask any questions :lol: :lol:
-
I get the looks at the pavment and they say. "Its got a bad oil leak" I usualy reply "No it has'nt its just marking it spot, Like your dog."
-
"bet that doesn't do many to the gallon"
you don't say :roll:

My neighbour's response to the 101 was "Will it be here long?"
My response was "Only until the weekend."
"Oh, quite a long time, then..."
"WELL IT'S NOT REALLY THAT LONG, IS IT!"
I then pointed out that it was taxed, MOTd and insured, and legally I had every right to leave it there as long as I bloody well wanted.
After that they apologised - I think they realised that if they didn't shut up I might just do that!
-
Owl - "I thought you were going to keep that one nice" ,"nutter"
Piglet - "Oh broken again?", "Nice!","now what's gone wrong?","We have a garage load of deliveries for you...."

They just have to stick there nose into everything don't they. I dispise my neighbours as they comment on everything. Wait till winter when they are all stuck on the hill and I just drive up like nothing has happened....Want loads of snow this year.....please
-
....Want loads of snow this year.....please[/quote]
could be your lucky year, something to do with the north atlantic being negative meaning fewer westerlies more northers and easterlies
I work outside on price work-beans on toast for Chrimbo dinner then :o
-
i regularly get from the old lady across the road..
you cant park that there!!!!!!!!!!the mud is dripping all over the road..and its in front of my house.
and
in a funny accent
we dont like you landrovering types round ere!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
my neighbours just say
HMMMPHHHHH
then walk off muttering
-
my neighbours don't mind at all.
The last time they complained was about the bike, One rideout on a sunday morning starting from my house and they never complained again.
Supprising what noise 30 bikers can make at 7am!! :lol:
-
the most annoying saying for me has to be something along the lines of "I like your Jeep!" and they usually get the same reply as said Turtle!
-
i stay in a culdesac with 2 parking bay areas so the racer sits at one end of the culdesac & my road 90 sits at the other,the old dear in the end house has complained before about the mud n crud running uphill onto the footpath outside her house n getting trampled inside,the normal reply is well dont walk around my motor being nosey :roll:
she also called the racer a "van" so i bought a 90 hardtop which is normally oarked outside her house to reminf her what a van looks like :lol:
-

Thats why I have a sticker on the Hybrid saying "This vehicle is not a F***ing Jeep"

One of my sons lecturers at 6th form once asked me why my son had to drive the biggest car (V8 110 on LPG) in the school car park. I explained the low insurance/safe/fun/sounds great bit.

:roll:

-
My neighbour often asks when I'm going to swap it with his 90 :wink:
-
"Those scratches look nasty!"

Theres obviously something about LPG'd 110 V8's then .... :D
Mine only *just* fits in the spaces at school, obviously painted out for corsa's etc.....
One of my teachers asked why i drive it, same reasons as you gave....oh and the LPG makes it much more environmentally friendly than small cars running on regular fuel....!

I met a lad locally a few weeks ago, his RR makes ours look tame. Anyway, as he walked back to his car he heard someone say "b***dy hell, look at the state of that Range Rover".
"charming" he though, then turned round an realised they had meant ours, covered in muck from off-road UK.
One of the neighbours said, "I thought you'd bought another one when I saw that Khaki car outside your house"
-

Same here,
Mother-in-law still thinks (after 3 years) that it's a Range Rover :roll:
The one that really, really, hurts is when people say;
"That's a nice shade of blue"
AAARGGGHHHHHH :twisted:
-
(they shut up when they realise im driving a V8 at the age of 17 AND paying less insurance than they are on their corsa :D )
who are you with for insurance..? either you are rich, or it must be very cheap to afford a V8 at 17!
-
well i was insured on my dads 110 at 17 & now got 2 90s that are insured n im only 20 :lol:
wont be going back to hastings direct after they lost the proof of my NCD :evil:
-
The usual question I get is "Do you race it?" I explain that unless one is trialling, it's not about speed.
Oh, and the other one: "..and he lets you drive it?" :(bigangry):
To which I reply, "well, if she was yours, would you?, actually
I don't let anyone else drive MY baby!!" #-o
