so ... I am just giving the Mustang a little clean down at the end of the day - before she is put to bed for the night in her bedroom (garage)
next door neighbour has "guests" round for dinner and they walk out to say goodbye etc - they were talking about cars as they approached the guests car and clearly hadnt seen me as I was on the other side of the Mustang cleaning a wheel.
"Just look at that shitheap", said the guest - "did you know they are built on Mondeo chassis and are really only 1.5L or at best 2.0L engines?"
"no" - said my neighbour
"oh yes - and they only have 2 seats - the body is too big for the chassis so they are really slow and handle like pigs"
"What about the 5.0 on the side?" said my neighbour
"its a Mustang 5 - the fifth generation Mustang - but made in Dagenham in this case - on a Mondeo chassis" he repeated
"oh" said my neighbour
At that point I stood up
..." its a 5 litre V8 with very little to do with a Mondeo and built in the USA" says I
Neighbour turns away in embarrassment - his "guest" tells me I know nothing about cars!!
then he left - in his Honda Jazz
Neighbour apologised - I simply laughed out loud!!
Classic!
