He could use it to keep the Alphi rear end down on turns instead of those cinder blocks.

Comeback at Alfa Owner

Need a little help with some ideas for a snappy comeback at an Alfisti (Alfa Romeo enthusiast). I was recently at a Brit car meet, selling AH parts, including a couple of engine blocks. Saw my Alfa-owning friend and jokingly asked him if he'd like to buy a spare Healey (Austin) engine. He shot back, "No thanks, I sold my boat!" (Meaning that he didn't need an anchor, you see.)
This one caught me completely off guard. (OK, it's not that hard to do.) Anyway, if you can think of any snappy comebacks for that situation, please share them.
I can't let him have the last word when it's a slam on Healeys!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonono.gif

Sometimes the best response is NO response. Just pretend that you didn't hear it. Wise guys hate to be ignored.

I have owned several alfas, now I am now driving a 1972 model.Most Alfa owers are aware of that they rust a lot due to bad quality steel. (Recyceled russian tanks ?)
I have one of my old Alfa Romeos in glass, on the shelf above my fireplace. The remains of it looks like instant coffee. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif

Better load up with several responses then, for your witty repartee is likely to be met by more of the same.... jibes about agricultural machinery, Lucas electrics, oil leaks, reliability, then they may try to be insulting too.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
