Passing comment's and caper's with the car.
Had a run over to Blackpool yesterday. Whist trundling up the M6 past Tickle Trout a silver Mondeo Taxi past, pipped the horn and gave me a thumbs up, then moved on. he then slowed down and stayed behind until I got to the exit for the M55. He came past me again holding up a sheet of A4 paper with the words "Mopar Rules" written in big letters with a marker pen. Then just past the Preston turn off, he came past again holding up another sheet of A4 paper with the words "I had a '69 Road Runner not a '70 like yours"

Nothing like that John,i have had a few annoying people rubber necking and taking pics on there phone etc so i end up boxed in on the motorway.
Speaking of Black Marker pens,i once wrote a For Sale sign on a piece of paper using my roof to lean on,when i took it of i had on my roof in Black Marker For Sale it had gone through the paper on to the paint 
managed to remove it from the paint thankfully.

Not driving, but this tickled me...
A blue rinsed Bexhill resident walked up to me at a classic car show on the seafront and said "I had a car just like yours...".
I thought "Here we go, she'll tell me about her Hillman Minx or something"
"...only it was a Superbee, not an R/T"
Turns out she had a yellow 70 Superbee in Toronto in the 70's.

For the short period of time I had my Aussie Charger on the road an older man dropped off one of my neighbors as I was getting out. I had never seen him before but he said he used to own an Aussie Charger back in the 70's. I was a bit sceptical but he seemed to know a good bit about them. He used to travel in it from the North East of Scotland where I live to london once a week or so. Thats a 1200 mile round trip! I wonder what happened to it? He could not mind the reg and never thought it would turn out to be collectable so never kept any paper work ect.
I'm here because Im not all there!!

I was in Machine Mart last year getting some welding wire and there was this really nice Willis Gasser type Rod parked outside. Looked the business.
The owner was standing at the counter captivating several members of the staff with the stories of how fast this car is going to be once he gets around to running it at York. All down to the massive V8 he had fitted.
So i asks him, "what you got in there mate? Big block Chevy?"
And he replies "3.5 Rover with a Holley".
I opened my mouth but wor lass (who knows me all too well) said "Don't" and I just said "Lovely mate" and left it at that.

I just like worrying guys who have paid 10-20 times what mine cost
no i'll never catch them if they really try but there is that minute of doubt in their mind as i pull away rapidly up the hill and get them a bit hot and bothered
Porche and BMW drivers do not like being overtaken by a fat looking capri with 1971 plates. Especially if they have to change down and floor it to make their point.
They then get really worried if you play (or at least manage to for a while) keepy-up afterwards
the joy of torque and highway gears.......you do have to lift off when the bonnet starts to shake and the steering gets all light
great fun and nearly always a results in a " its my ball and i'm going home" type response
its white van man who likes my car
Bananarama! monster mate....was-at? a capri? laaaaverly my mate had one of them chevy innit

A few years ago Will (datsun) loaned me his 'rosco' cop car at the last minute to take the kids on holiday to Wales, we stayed fairly central as we were planning on visiting lots of family around the south and west, as a result we spent a lot of time on small back lanes,
one drive we were heading from my aunts house back to the caravan we'd hired, small back lane about 12ft wide, a boy'd up rally replica MK2 escort came around the bend and near pooped himself when he saw us, squeezed passed and screeched to a stop, i carried on and heard him drive off again, a few miles later he was behind us, flashing his spots and gesturing for me to move over, i got the typical "fcuk you " hat on and just ignored him for a few miles or so as there was nowhere to pull over, not that i really wanted too anyways!
eventually i pull over in a layby and waved him past but he stopped right in front of me, I have to admit that at this point, with the kids in the car, i was a little concerned as two or three lads jumped out
as i got out the driver just went on about how it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen on the road and asked i don't know how many questions, after putting the lights on and them taking a few pics of each other by the car, they shook my hand, spun around and drove off with the biggest smiles i think i've ever seen!
we had a blast in the car for that week, everywhere we went we were mobbed (well, the car was) and what with the sample machine hooked up to the pa, all kinds of silly games ensued! i think the biggest look of surprise came from the local heddlu (coppers) as i pulled into the car park space beside their car in new quay, near cardigan bay, they were as excited as the rally boys had been the day before and were gutted we had better lights and louder siren then them!!!!
best holiday ever i think, despite being the most expensive ever on fuel!
