Tailgating someone at 130mph is fucking dumb. Maybe the guy pulled over when he realised some cunt was driving right up his arse at stupid speed and if he had to brake you would of been straight in the back of him.

Maybe the speedo in the ferrari was reading true and he thought "bollocks to this i can get banned for doing 90 mph" and let you go by at "130mph"

I wont preach about the speed as ive done well over that plenty of times.
I must remember to buy a camcorder to post up vids so people can bitch about it, people enjoy that

But id put money the Rarri wasnt even trying and just pulled over as he didnt think it was safe doing 130mph in rushour traffic, like most wouldnt.

Wouldnt call that a "victory", and unless the RST in front wasnt moving over when there was a gap he wasnt bullying him either.

Was'nt the ferrari driver tailgating the rst in the first place

The bloke simply said he stayed with (not beat) the ferrari until 130 at which point the ferrari driver lost his nerve and pulled over

I know exactly what the bloke in the rarri was thinking because i was out driving my borthers 360 the other day (just a nice cruise on a nice day) & i had loads of idiots in silly car's up my bumper & i looked at them in the rear view mirror thinking 'silly boy's in their little boy racer car's' & just carried on driving at cruising speed

"THe ferrari thinking he'd won pulled away not knowing that now there was a RS Focus doing the same to him now"

that would read like he was driving up his arse to me?

Just because the ferrari did it doesnt mean it's ok for him to do it.

What is it about buying/driving an expensive car that turns you into a high and mighty, greater than thow human being then???

Ferrari sits behind the RST and its the guy in the RST who's the dingbat for not pulling over.

RSF sits behind Ferrari and now its the RSF driver who's a little wanker LOL!!!

fooking priceless

why would a ferrari driver waste his time tailgating a an escort

and the only reason the focus kept up with it was more than likely a mr2 with a stupid kit on lol

amazing how many ford haters there are on passionford......go figure....
can't beat a good dust up with a "super car", always amusing to see the owners face as a F plate sierra sails past them

And yes, the supercar is probably : better looking, better built, got a better image, handles better, sounds better, got a nicer interior etc etc etc, but who gives a fuck? its all about having fun, and scalping cars that cost 10x a shonky old ford is FUN if everyone could afford a F40 don't you think they wold be driving them?

I get the local posse tailgating me nearly evertime I go out in the GTR. One kid in a Polo G40 pulled the stupidest overtake in a built up area causing a bus to brake and swerve just to get past. He was then boasting to his mates he had wasted the GTR....wanker.
They are not worth wasting the Optimax on
Don't get me wrong I give it full beans but not at rush hour or in built up areas.

i scalped a 355 once
on the M2 on the straight bit
cut me up going into the roadworks
lorry in front of us doing 40
when it opened up we both gave it some
i edged past him at about the 120 mark (but he was deffinitly gone from the 40 mark)
then i hit the limit at about the 160 mark and he crusied past
thats not to say that he wasn't shocked when a sierra estate went past him

on another trip though in that neck of the woods, i got well and truley wasted by an F50 up the A249, there was no way i was going to catch that fooker

mind you, both times were mid saturday mornings so the traffic was light (as in 3 or 4 cars on the road at that time) i would never have tried it had it been normal traffic

and yes, if i had been made to walk from there it would have been like a kick in the bolocks but it's still a scalp

I had a burn a few weeks back with an newish aston cabriolet I expected it to eat me and so did he but he just didnt we both over took 2 transits, both with trailors and I think I shocked him he was expecting to be held up then slowing for a rounderbout I was able to pull away again off the exit then lots of traffic and he is sat on my butt the traffic all pulls off at the next rounderbout (im thinking oh dear lord he is now gonna kill me) I managed to get a good launch off the rounderbout foot welded deiff behaving upto 130 and im still in front him nt on my arse I seemed to be able to leave him out the rounderbouts but he started to wind me in above 100 but I also had to slow for traffic and a corner after one last suicide overtaking move we both gave up he flashed me and turned off

cool car and a cool burn His car was faster you could tell with a long enough road I was dog meat but still good fun

ps AWK-53 wrotethe FRS is hardly a shit car it may not be a 15 year old pug but hey you cant have everything

the 24V had the legs on the new 6 series convertable, but the aston that he was chasing dusted me on the M6 the other week

i think it's just a question of either the driver either not being able to drive the car as quick as it can be driven, or the fact that they can't be arsed to piss on everything they come up against

a little duel up the motorway is about the closest i come, but i did have a nice bit of fun with a new XJR on the same trip earlier on in the journey
he stopped at 120 and my fuel economy didn't let me keep ahead of him for too long

i think most peole are saying that the ferari driver was making a point baout getting past the escrot, just because he was sitting on his bumper doesn't make it ok for you to do so
and the fearai has at least 30 mph on the focus at the top end so it's not a question of it not being bale to do the job either

yes, the driver bottled it, but i think they might be able to afford a n expensive lawyer to get them off a motoring ban whereas you might have to sell the frs in that situation

just saying it like i see it, not having a go mate

i think the ferrari drive thought ffs im not wasting petrol on a frs, no disrespct to u mate as u kept with him and i dont care how u drive on the road ur life, just gotta watch other people!

its the same wen im in my saph i get a poxy clio rsi/172, or nova gte and saxo vtr on my arse no i dont bother to boot it off most of the time wats the point, a 182trophy kept doin it to me at bout 30mph through a town kept revin his car for is "ind noise" he followed me to the bypass by third gear he was a distant memory pretty pointless thou as i:
a, wasted petrol
b, could have lost my license
