Does everybody try and race u or is it just me!
« on: 06 February 2004, 13:51 »
im 20 have a golf gti 16v in black and lowered with full leather and  i can not drive anywhere without some wee prick in a combat kitted corsa wanting a race. all i do is oblidge and accelerate flat out to the speed limit and then stick to it they then tear past about 30 seconds later on a blind corner doing about double the speed limit thinking they have just beaten a gti.

i just laugh and do the same thing at the next set of lights.

one small problem iv used ?120 of fuel in 7 days o dear!

Its the GTI badge that incites their rage. True.

......I dont get botherd by the Saxo/corsa brigade, but my Missus does when she's borrowed my motor.

I usually get the much newer regular cars having a go?!.....maybe its because its on an 'M' plate they think its too old to really have a go back?

think thats true... with mk3s i think a valver looks like a vr6 tho. coz it aint got that big shiny badge on the front.. either that or i got my 'thug mug' down to a tee  8)
