Default Sleepers! lets see em!

the last few years you see more and more standard looking or small engined type cars out there getting serious lumps put in them and catching loads of folk out.

Lets see some of the sleepers you've seen or encountered!

I'll start.

Looks harmless.... right?


nope!





Lets see others out there!

Yes Dark green, Quick car no doubt! Love it

Owners a bit of an ass though. He was at the last RS day and had a group of people around him and was telling everyone how he had 'dicked' on all the Cossies... I was walking to the toilet JUST as he said it and laughed to myself as I overtook him at least 3 times that day! I went over later and trie to have a chat but he was really unfriendly. Shame, its a wicked car and he drives it really well! maybe I caught him at a bad moment.

The last time he was MILES in front but I fluked out and creamed Bobbies (for once!)and got a massive run on him down into tower. I really THUNDERED past him on the straight and braked later then normal for the corner. I checked my mirrors half way up towards Avon rise and he was a long long way back

Looks more like youve just punched her in the head and quickly took a pic of the recoil.
