What have people said to you about your car?

[Mechan1k]

Last AU work ute ... EGAS with cam.
Rocked up at a loading dock and let it idle while unloading ... thet guy on the dock asked how I could afford to deliveries with a V8.

Ummmm ... no ... had to let him know it's only a 6 ... and cheaper to run than a Corolla ... and could carry one on the back as well .... LOL

haha... good one



umm... worst i've had with the EF "Piece of **** car"

and this from an auto electrician when i went in to get the re-gas done for the aircon "Its not worth it, a full re-gas is worth more than the bloody car"


best i've had are on cruises "Good work for a 15 year old, i like it"

[2011G6E]

People really like our G6E in "Edge" colour.

The only problem I have, if I am telling someone what I own and they can't see the car, is that they usually say "a what?", and I have to explain it's a Ford, a Falcon, a luxury one.

A guy i know with a G6E Turbo has the same "problem". You shouldn't have to...what the hell was Ford trying to achieve by giving it such a bland and meaningless "name"? They dropped the ball big time by doing away with the names Fairmont and Fairmont Ghia...they were names that meant something, that immediately identified the vehicle to even non-Ford owners.
You shouldn't have to further qualify exactly what it is you own...

But yeah, people still really like it when they see it.

BA XR6 turbo in phantom, Got so many love the color when i first got it in 2004.

I put th xr8 bonnet on with the H.O rear facing vent and GT rear spoiler and would often get the thumbs up as not many people new about the vent was often asked where I got i from.

I also got hit waiting at a set of light lovely lady(gorgeous really) kept apologising she had a craptiva, but kep sayin I am so sorry you have a sexy car, i know how you feel my previous car was a worked HSV that she was sad to see go.

With my old car (BA XR6 N/A manual)

From many Holden lovers when I would take them for a drive - 'whoa this things goes pretty good".

Had one guy think my car was a turbo cause his 5L as mine kept pulling away.

Also kept getting told how comfy the seats were strangely enough by people would drive jap buzz boxes.

Yep remember driving a new rental Toyota Avalon covered in the most amount of mud you have ever seen (you couldnt even tell when the indicators were on) after having to get it through some roads we were building up north, when I headed back to town I was on Hindley St had young ladies jokingly etch there phone numbers in the mud and about 20 young guys at the Woolshed (is that the name?) cheering me on and bowing to me when they saw how muddy this Avalon was while I vainly attempted to look for my hotel. Have they cleaned up the area? It was dodgy but always a lot of fun when I visit Adelaide.

Nah mate, they'll never tame Hindley Street.
Its like having a dingo for a pet, just when you think you have it under control - a gangster gets shot in a tattoo parlor.

[Gavin]

BF XR6 Bionic Blue...Lots of comments on the clour especially after a polish.

[sanchoXB]

I had an idiot try & tell me that the blackout on the bonnet of my XB GT was wrong. Moron.

Usually get positive comments when I have one of the classics out. Although the first thing most people ask is "how much did you pay for that?"

I just hate when my dingo shoots gangsters.

[Iggypoppin']

My Mazda gets plenty of comments.
"get rid of it"
"it's the worst car I have ever seen"
"how is that not defected yet??"
"no I will not push start you again, push it yourself!"
etc, etc.

[Big Bird 17]

I always get told my GT is a head turner.An englishman at a hotel in Sydney said to me once (cue cockney accent) "thats a nice bit of motor you've got there".

[blakeyBF]

Filling up my old Volvo at the pumps and a guy walks past and says "F#cking Volvos".

I said "Mate, the car can't hear you and I couldn't give a s#it what you think".

Everyone's a critic.

[Powdered Toast Man]

Used to get lots of compliments about how nice and well kept my EA was.

A couple of comments about how my BA 3V exhaust note sounds old school.

[red_hotxr6]

Without skyting, too many too mention..really...and i have had Jeff blum and peter harding ..who designed the kit for the car both pull me over....the police use to follow me and pull me over and give me the once over, but usually its....I havent seen one of these before......is it a 6 or an 8.....what does the SVO stand for???...has it ever been stolen??...evn had the postie stop on his appointed rounds to have a chat about the old girl.....sorry, but i do love the old girl...its a ford of course.....lol

[Burnout]

Was pulled up at a pedestrian crossing an' this ol' bloke about 80 was wandering across using a walking stick, he pulled up short in front of the Ute, then walked around to the drivers window, told me my 'fan belt was squealing' and to 'get it tightened up a bit'.

[Mr Hardware]

"Are you suuuure this was a taxi??"

"New car?"
me: no, same one i've had for 5 years
"This isn't the old taxi is it?"
me: yes
"I catch cabs every week and this is nicer than the lot of them!"

[Road Games]

Qouted by many Holden owners:

"How much boost ya runnin??"

[Dezza]

I've had quite a few nice comments on the EA. The best is probably "it's one of the nicest EA's out there", people asking if it's an SVO (lol), and people praising the sound, the wheels, and the front bar.

[302 XC]

My best mate is a holden lover
(He is only my best mate cause he pays me weekly to be his mate LOL)

Told me his POS holden 1 tonner 308 (with a bottom end knock)
Heaps of rust,painted with house paint special is worth more than my
XC Fairmont GS (matching numbered)
Everytime he comes over just has to throw the ol dig in
Gets annoying really
So when he turns up i just tell him dont mention your POS holden here

edit:
He just sold the 1 tonner , didnt even get 2K for it
people are so delusional

[DJM83]

'5 Cylinder, what the hell is a 5 cylinder?'

[craigxr8]

Some middle aged lady waiting at traffic lights lol
"Is it an EL?"
"Nah EF"
"I really like the colour."


"Those wheels look better on your car than on a B-series"

[onfire]

referring to my Acid Rush XR6.
