Caught up with that evo that murdered me last week... gave a much better showing and probably suprised him a little (but not much). :grin:

Nice one mate, what was it a 300?

When you do beat cars on the road, do you keep on going or just show them your faster for a short while then relax back down to normal speed. i.e. Just letting them know you can beat them if you want to. ?

GTD after GTD after GTD.  :wink:

Joking.

I find that if I am daudling along minding my own business then I am usually chased by Smart Cars, Aygo's or little Honda, Kia thingies, almost as if they have a point to prove.

Nissan Navarra pick ups are always right up my chuff.

All dealt with a blip of the throttle and the contempt they deserve.

Inadequate car syndrome.

Also had a brand new Pious try to keep up last night. Mr 21yr old Estate Agent gave up after 300 yards of clear dual carriageway. :cool:

If I am pressing on the bored photo-copier sales guys in their 3 series and A4 diesels don't want to play.

Seen a few Focus RS's around now but not being driven fast. They look mean. :cool:

Yet to have a good fair scrap but not looking for one.

Mk6 GTi - returned to leasing company after 3 great years and replaced with :

Mk5 GTi - Edition 30 - Revo 1 and some tweaks - 310 bhp. Its a better car than the Mk6  - Now sold and replaced with :

Mk6 R - Rising Blue 5 Door. Won't be standard 270bhp for long

Family Car : Mercedes ML420 with 360 bhp
Looking at Porsche Macan as replacement

Staaandard VXR  :evil: at that point anyway, then it got a bit of work done and pretty much drives like sh!t now, not that im fussed, It's not my car.

You sound just like a former mk5 owner that used to hang around these parts... Same name too......Welcome back! :wink:

Oh an mk5's can be tuned a wee bit too, ask hurdy!






Hurdy's car isn't tuned... it's just a  go faster paintjob  :laugh:


Hurdys car is powered by Fairy dust

Had a focus RS appear in my back mirror the other day, couldn't shake him, but he drove like an idiot. 6" off my bumper and nearly stacked it into the back of me when we met traffic. I'd say he was CERTAINLY faster than me, but a much worse driver............ plus my car is a shadow blue one, maybe not everyones cup of tea, but more popular than the snot green colour he'd chosen......... I might add, he wasn't quick (or brave enough) to overtake me though.....

I find all this talk of speed totally immature  :angry:

Get mapped and you'll leave the RS for dust  :wink: (unless he is mapped also  :huh: :cry:)

This is one penguin that is not scared of bigger fish... (and actually it is the penguin agility that helps escape from an orca... not always speed)
