Yep I get it... from both lads and lasses...

the lasses USUALLY have Punto's and the engines are usually the 1.2 16v.... with K&N filters, exhausts, bodykits, spoilers etc etc

the lads are normally in Nova's, AX's, Saxo's, Corsa's & occasionally a Punto and an Astra GSI mk3 <--- older lads

And so long as its not the GSI Astra cos only the VR6 will beat that... or a lil 106GTI or SaxoVTS then i just p!ss on them...

U just DONT race a GTI in a 1.2 Punto LMAO

Those are seriously quick... I remember a person I once knew was in a modded one and was being chased by the police and he took it onto a backroad and it blew up LOL ... he then ran threw a field and was caught and arrested ...  ::)

RS turbos give me a go. I dont bother racing anyone due to my large/heavy sub box that weighs me down. >:(

Today i ran a 1.6 pug106 with 4 people in it, and a old Astra GTE thingy around a wet carpark  thats sorta shaped like an ovel and about 200meters long by 40Meters, It was my first real race.

We lined up and raced about 4 or five times, 4 laps each time.  Everytime i won because i didnt have cheep nasty tires and wasnt launching from like 7000RPM so i just got into the lead from the start. The Pug wasnt a problem but the Astra was keeping up quite well, I dont think the driver was very good because she kept bogging the car comming out of the corners and slowed down to much when she was going into them but it was still one big f**king buzz!

The other advantage is that my golf is stripped out, has a shift light and monster tach, and Toyo tires  :P. Sorry to ramble, But im still hyper and buzzing off it  ;D

seriously light cars but like a baked bean tin in a crash. :'(


as for the rs, the owners must spend a fortune blowing up engines. Dont worry about your weight blue mk2 they actually got to make it home ;D
