The traffic lights Grand Prix

[charv94]

Some of you who are members of both this forum and the R forum may have seen their "what have you embarrased thread"

May not be to everyones taste but I am still yet to have any challenge or anyone want to have a go with me, rather frustrating because when I used to own my Corsa, i could roll down to the local mcdonalds and get into multiple traffic light sprints up the a34.

Where are all these people now i can embarrass them!!!(shows my mental age!!)

Anyway, I'd be really interested to know what or who you've had a spar against and the result? (either off the line or rolling)

Lol I wondered how long it would take before this made its way across to here.

I'll throw up a few to get the ball rolling. (Bare in mind mine in was mapped to 320bhp via revo)

Fiesta ST off a roundabout down a dual carriageway, poor guy must have though he stood a chance.....but yeah, not stock

GTD again off the same roundabout, with the same result lol.

M5 for about 4 seconds before it demolished me into oblivion.....

Integra type R off the lights, that was close but edged it and he had to pull in behind me.(had to be done, little ricer pulled up to a merge in traffic light with only me waiting) I got a quick swipe from the wife for that one.

Since posting I've been out. remarkably I've had a challenge!

Mazda 3 with female passenger, he'd raced passed me as we trundled through nottingham.

at the lights my 3 occupants egged me into a bit of a press against him. Got a bad launch but took him quite easily.

next lights he looked quite distraught and rather embarrassed as his lady friend seemed annoyed. green light shone again i killed him this time with a good launch (used to a fast launch)

my apologies to the chap if he was intact on a date and was embarrassed

I took on a milk float at the lights and smashed it without even trying

I was beaten soundly by an Audi A1 learner car. He must've had DSG the cheating son of a...

I've only got diesel engined cars, so I won't partake in races. I don't think I could stand the shame of being beaten by someone that is obviously doing far better in life than me.

Yes you're obviously not working hard enough Simon, get off the forum and go and earn some more money then you can afford a petrol car and race people at lights 

I was hoping that the 'who have you embarrassed with your (insert car)' thread would not make it over onto this place.  Oh well.

I thought that was the whole point of the fast Golf's (GTD, GTI and R), that they are classy and understated, and therefore above all this traffic light grand prix stuff. Thought that was the stomping ground of VXR's and ST's etc.

Lets be honest here, the GTI isn't going to embarrass anything particularly special, i mean it's out classed in the speed department by most competition in it's own class let alone any other.

Just relax and enjoy the ride..
