My favourite is to let them get in front and wait for a roundabout, and out manouver them on the roudabout and then pull away and waste them, let them know its faster and handles better!

I enjoy destroying most things off the line but my favorite has to be Civic typr -R owners as they are soooo confident they can beat you, until you completly destroy them off the line and then play with them as they rev the rse off their cars :clap: , I dont do it often as my bike is far more fun, and im selling my 2 soon :( so im being really nice to it :)

i have a bit of a backward mentality on these things, i like sitting at the lights and doing the old "vin desiel", sitting looking purposfully at the road ahead one hand on the wheel the other on the gear stick, holding a gentle increase in revs just before the lights change knowing the lad (or more recently girl) in whatever half cut modified hatch is itching for the lights to change, then..........i drive off totaly normaly and they look like a prat screaming up the road :thumleft:

I found every now and then, if I bit, I'd end up making myself look a bit of a tit when getting it horribly wrong and wheel spinning and fish tailing up the road :oops:

No 'beating off' of ANYONE for me thanks [-X


And not to extract the urine so much, I can't stand random things like that at the lights, unless it's friends for silly fun. (I'm old, I think it's lame)

To be honest I get the biggest grin from beating "premium" German motors. Audis especially, swiftly followed by BMWs. You see it all the time, Audi A3/4/5s usually diesel powered and with those horrible daytime running lights usually driven by someone in their mid 30s who has no imagination whatsoever when it comes to car ownership. I love smoking them in my 18 year old rice-rocket. Even more satisfying though was sticking to the bumper of an A5 along a very tricky local road in my 10 year old 306td :lol: he wasn't impressed.

Sometimes you need to do it. There's always some arsehole in a range rover that pulls up in the wrong lane next to you with the intention of cutting you up. If it's not a range rover it's something else.

If I'm in the correct lane and the person to my side isnt, they're generally going to have to filter behind me. Well, they used to, now I get beaten off (the lights) by mobility scooters ](*,)

The point is, any idiot can only go as fast in a straight line as his/her car allows. Sometimes, just sometimes, it's nice to put people in their place.

In 950cc pug 205 :lol: I dont think so lol.

As for any idiot can drive high speed i think you'd find there's more to it than flooring it :), To do high speed and safely you need to have wit's about you and see the road ahead well AHEAD of you, Some people can just race a car and thats when you see accidents happening :thumleft:

Twistys are ok you don't really feel the power of the car in a twisty just the road holding :). I'd like to see a MR2 120MPH round a 90degree bend :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Speed is high adrenaline (sp) Each to there own some people must be scared of speed :p

I prefer the power of a car :thumleft:

You like the handling awesome stuff :) XD :thumleft: :twisted:

I think this may well be the first time I have agree'd with something that you have said.

As said, anybody can dump a clutch and floor it away from some traffic lights. It doesn't take a great amount of skill and you just look like a twit to all other road user's, reiterating the miss-conception of all modified cars being owned by boy racers.

If you want to go and have some fun in your car, take it on a track day or go find some nice secluded B roads. You will soon find out how fast your car really is.

To be honest, nothing beats the thrill of sitting io the backside of some very expensice machinery on track, where you really can push the cars (and your own) limits.

Those pesky Panda's will give a lot of very expensive machinery a good run on track. There was a pair of them at knockhill a few months back and you would be very, very surprised at just how capable they are on the corners. Sure, they lack the straightline speed but on the corners they are able to carry through pretty much all of their momentum thus making them very, very quick through them.
