View Full Version : dumbiset questions, asked about ur renault
ok heres a good topic for you, lets here the bumbiset questions someones asked you about your ride.
i was at kingswood autoparts the otherweek (car parts shop).
and the young guy serving said to me.... "i used to have a r5 gordini" I say nice etc then he turns round and says to me..... "what size engines in them renault 5 turbo's then?" haha
& 5 mins ago outside my hose a guy comes over and says.... "How much of a renault 5 is this then" w00t! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
"How much of a renault 5 is this then" w00t! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
I hope your reply was something along the lines of '27.312'
When having my tyres fitted a young lad walked over to me with a baseball cap and said " ive had loads of these, is this a 1.6 or the 1.9" :S i think he got confused with 205's

What is a bumbiset?
And what's wrong with asking what engine size a 5 Turbo has, when he's owned a 5 Gordini? After all, they're not the same car.
:scratch:
the wierdest one for me is when people just say how much do you want for it?
..I didn't even know it was for sale

spelling was deliberate as i know people are easily offended by certain words or may have children reading, im sure you know what i ment, after all everyone else seemed to get it. anyways i had a long conversation with the lad, and cba to explaine it all basically he was saying how much he loves renault 5's and hes had about 7 of them in the past and he even had a gordini running 650bhp
thought it obvious if you were into 5's enough to even buy a gordini, he would at least know the egine size of a renault 5 gt turbo. point taken that perhaps people may just be set on buying a gordini knowing nothing else about renault 5's, i should of not been so lazy and explained it all.:o

No, not a clue what bumbiset is supposed to mean. It must be pretty offensive though, seeing as your board name is very close to being sh*t :scared:

i get people asking me alsorts of questions about the car, most days i take it out.
one guy once asked me if the shift light on my dash was a webcam!!! :confused:
Majority of the time its just..how much money have you sepnt on that and o i remember that they're rather unreliable on the headgaskets and turbo.
i nipped to the local sainsburys on my dinner from work a few weeks back with one of the girls from work in the passanger seat. every set of traffic lights we waited at we had someone in the car next to us asking questions or acknowledging the car.
she didnt believe me that it gets so much attention till that happened.
big love for these babies in the derbyshire area as you dont see many any more.
My biggest bug bear is from peeps on here ...I don't own a five,I've never owned a five ....I don't want to own a feckin five :cooter:

i get asked what colour mine is alot, so i just say orange
Wasnt realy a question i got asked but....my uncle had a nervous breakdown a few years back and he hasnt been the same since,acts wierd and is very paranoid.........anyway he used to be an electrician before he got ill and still had all his old tools so i asked him if he could come round and help me wire up a boost gauge (so it illuminated at night).He turns up,i unlocked my door,opened it and my uncle immediatley saw my tweeters (speakers) in door cards (there very thin rectangular infinity "biscuit" tweeters,not round like most).He then jumps back nearly knocking me over shouting "turn the alarm off,its gonna go off"...i explained that the alarm was already off and he then starts waving his arm about in front of my tweeters and says "yep its off now".I tried to explain again that waving his arm infront of my tweeter would not set the alarm off but he was adamant that my tweeter was an alarm sensor...he then started to explain why my tweeter was a sensor,telling me it was an infa red beam that gets emitted from 1 side to the other and if someone breaks the beam then the alarm goes off.No matter how many times i told him it was a speaker he just would not listen and insisted i turn the alarm on so he could check.......i turned alarm ON,he waves arm about infont of the tweeter.............and nothing happened,no raging alarm bellls,nothing.....he then says "your alarms ****ed russ u wanna sort that out m8" then wired up my boost guage and left.....barking mad he is hahaha.:sad2:

Add that to the good old my mate used to have one of those & tthe head gasket went! :rolleyes::dearme:
Not quite asked by someone but......
When i was in Renault a few years ago, i had an argument with the young parts man........he was trying to tell me that Renault never made a Renault 5 gt turbo or a Renault 5 with a body kit:eek:. He then told me it must be an aftermarket kit:wasntme:
And that was the last time i used them:laugh:
i get asked what colour mine is alot, so i just say orange
:laugh: Bet they feel like a reet cock after they ask!
Add that to the good old my mate used to have one of those & tthe head gasket went! :rolleyes::dearme:
I always love the look of, well, almost disappointment when you tell them that ACTUALLY, when they're looked after, they will go on for miles with no problem.

Most common thing i get...
'dont see many of them anymore, how many headgaskets you done?'
reply, 'none in the 2 years iv owned it'
'your well lucky then'
reply, 'no, iv just stuck to the main rules cooling and fueling'
'arr right, i used to run 25psi through mine, was rapid'
reply 'no wonder you popped headgaskets'

i was in renault yesterday, the parts guy reckons raiders came in grey also :scratch:
I once got asked if it was a TDi!!
Alright, the carb was overfuelling a bit on idleand tossing out some black smoke, and the 285 cam does make it run a wee bit lumpy, but still :laugh:
i keep getting people asking what size engine is in the turbo2...when you tell them its 1400, they look all crest fallen and say its a replica then yeah?
or..."how much power do these push out standard?" - 160bhp...- disappointed look ensues.
or... people think it costs about the same as a GT Turbo, and when you tell them its worth about £15k, i'm met with silence.

On the subject of replicas, the best one asked of me was, 'i didnt hear a dump valve, its a look a like then, right? Its not a real GT Turbo?' IIRC i agreed with him and said no, its not :crap::sad2:

That is impressive :worship: the 5.
At most of the hillclimbs and sprints i get asked how much power it's got, and i reply 118bhp atw, and you get strange look. I say well it's only running 14 psi and hey it's never retired from any event or blew a head gasket,yet another strange look upon their face. :laugh:
