Default WARNING! Cosworth owners North East England.

I have just witnessed a beast of a car.

A red nissan micra. This thing was pimped out with all the best ripspeed gear.

The car had a black sunstrip with the following words in red


"micra cozzy eater"


Honest. I nearly crashed my car with laughter when I seen it.

So cosworth owners. You have been warned!

I had to go up to 43 miles an hour to get past him

lol

I couldn't get my phone out it time plus I was driving. No doubt he will be at one of the usual cruuuuzzzzee venues this weekend with macdonalds trayz under the back wheels doing driffttzz.

To be fair I think he was genuine. When he seen me he couldn't wait to unleash all 80 hp.

He floored it so hard he nearly blew the welds on the intake!!!

When I had my ST225 (running nearly 300hp) had a lad in a Corsa SXI sitting on my bumper on a19 one day. Being a little cocky, I pulled over and then nailed it in 4th...... the little fucker wasted me

Got to the silverlink roundabout and it turned out it was a 1.8SRI with some crazy turbo conversion. gutted

They love there stupid stickers up here. there is a young kid driving round in a corsa, with a fuckin low sticker, the sticker is a corsa, dropped on its arse, with the words in the middle, the irony is, its on standard springs, its actually 'fuckin high', and i assume, so is the owner.
