spent a few hours with the car Tuesday doing a few odds and ends then too her for a spin, thought it would be rude not to as I had it out

There is a road that runs along the sea and has a big green that runs along it close to where i live anyway i was driving along not braking the speed limit but the chatter from the turbo scared some old biddies and there dog as i looked in my rear view mirror i could see them hurling abuse and shacking there arms in the air

that did aggravate me a bit as i wasn’t even giving it some so i sped up a bit as i was now on a nice long straight and some guy who was walking his dog just as i went past called me a wanker with his hand i broke hard and he just looked at the floor as he walked in the other direction away from the rear of the car "gutless prick"

just to top it off on the way back to the garage some idiot crossed the road at a set of traffic lights when they was green and he shook his head as if i was doing something wrong

All i can say is god forbid i bump into these people when my car is setup running more than 6psi and has Anti lag!!

Yep, these people annoy me. You go the speed limit and they treat you like a criminal, f-ing annoying.

Stoopid twats, fook em... I would of turned round and constantly feather the clutch next to the old girl, giving her and her dog plenty of chatter.

but yes, just cos a car has a big spoiler they automatically think you one of these twatty drivers that do burn outs and wheel spin at any giving time and play music at very loud level...

little do they know aye.... TWATS i say.

Hows the car coming along.

When it due to go to Groves?

I have had this a few times whilst just driving around near my house, someone giving me the wanker sign because they stepped out in front of me, I assume because my car is louder than most they think I must be driving fast, it obviously has nothing to do with their complete lack of skills in something so simple as crossing a quiet road
I put most of it down to jealousy and can only imagine what it must be like to drive a supercar

last summer, drove upto southport and parked on the beach you have to pay to park on, driving at idle no more than 5mph along so as not to flick up too much salty sand, turn into a parking space and there is a family sitting higher up on the sand, the dad shaking his head is dissaproval - had a have chuckle to myself - FFS, i'm mr sensible today and still get do-gooders stickin their oar in

sadly thats this country to a tee.........always some do gooding bastard waiting to have a whinge.

Get the anti-lag on big time matey!!!!

I remember in my old fiesta many years ago turning into a street(90 degree turn), eased the power on then booted it, but not past 35mph may i add, anyway didnt see an undercover copper who had pulled a proper boy racer parked up halfway down the road on the other side, copper walks into the middle of the road as im coming down it upon hearing my revs and points me into the kerb in a very aggressive manner in behind the car hes pulled.....Twat then asks me if i think the roads a race track for flying down it?????

I told him that if he knew anything about race tracks they have gravel traps and armcos so i said seeing as though it doesnt have them no officer i dont think it is

i got pulled by plod once for botting it into a line of traffic from a junction
"step out of the car and switch the ingition off please"
keys in my hand, turbo timer running teh car
"can you switch the car off please"
waving the keys about
he counldn't comprehend that the car was running with no keys in it and started having a go thinking i'd stolen it

I get this when I'm out driving normally in mine too

one of the reasons I'm not 100% happy with the esc tbh you can't drive without people making faces at it.

I never got it in my saff.
