Mine, so far:

Person: "What bhp is that?"

Me: "150."

Person: "You know you can get it chipped?"

Me: "But why would I want to do that?"

Person: "Mate, it'll go much faster!"

Me: "But why would I want it to go faster?"

Person: "Why, wouldn't you, if you could?"

Hahahahah!

I have a cousin like that. Socially very competitive. Loves making fun of others and their possessions, and then laughs like hyena at his own jokes.

When I smile he is mystified, but little does he know why.

Salesman to his colleague in my Dundalk VW garage, when I made my first enquiry about ordering a California:

"Imagine sleeping in a field after spending money like that"

So I moved on to Drogheda and met a nicer salesman.

The comments above happened yesterday whilst I was parked up. The guy asking how much I spent was very impressed with the California beyond belief even after he found out the cost! He knew some one who had a "conversion " - but when I showed him all the integrated features and the way it was all put together he got why it cost so much. As he said it's a proper job.
