It'll never work....

[BenzBoy]

The times I've had that said to me about my Benz project recently!
Usually from people who wouldn't know a torque wrench from a tomato cane.
OK, so when they walk into my garage all they see is various bits of V8 scattered around the place, but after a while it starts to grind you down. Sometimes I actually start believing them myself
I gotta stop listening to them and keep spannering - I'll shut them up when I fire her up....mark my words! Mu-hu-ha-ha-haa! And so on...
It is really irritating though! I mean, curse word it... I'll just go to Yes car credit and get a Vauxhall Corsa on finance. Forget all this modding lark...

I had to laugh though - after driving my accident damaged Merc back home, my elderly neighbour came out to gawp. "Dear dear dear," says he, "whatever have you done?" shaking his head in disapproval.
A few days later he was reversing his car into his garage and his foot must've slipped off the clutch - he put it straight into the back wall!
"Dear dear dear...." says I.
Aaaah, that felt better! ;D

Bah, what do THEY know.. NOTHING! Of course it'll work.. and if it doesn't.. you're using too small a hammer! ;D

I get people telling me to get a "proper car" all the time. I just tell them that they should get some opinions and stop copying what the TV tells them to think, and remind them that they had to get £18K in debt to get the car that capitalism tells them they want, whearas I only need to spend a few hundred quid of my own money for the car(s) I want, and wont have to become bankrupt through not keeping up with any repayments.

Even I keep getting people asking why I don't want to get a modern Fiesta...they just don't get it.

my uncle used to build and drag race motorbikes making most of the parts himself.

Whenever he turned up to a meeting he'd have to listen to a string of people telling him his ideas were rubbish and wouldn't work.

You should see the size of his trophy cabinet ;D

I used to get fed up with people looking down at my interesting motors, then remembered that when they were new, these same people lusted after them, got credit to buy them and are probably still paying!! Hee he!

I bought a car on tick once. Nasty feeling knowing it's not really yours.

Now all my drivers are mine! Bought with real money that I have already earned!! Even the wife's daily escort thing (not sure what it is!) was bought with cash we had.
