Default Evo owners - why the hate??

Was out in my mk2 the other night just went for a drive as the weather was nice as such well dry, saw a few other oldskool ish cars out and about - most of them gave me a nod or flashed me but then i saw a big fat ugly bloke in a nice white evo 6, looked over and he proper clocked me, was at the lights ( he was in a differnet lane to me as i was turning right) he the lights changed and he drove past and stuck his middle finger up!! wtf!! cock oh well think he was pissed because more people will turn an eye to a mk2 escort than a evo

damm straight, when i'm out in my 1600e i "own the road" so to speak. 60k mercs get ignored as people stop and watch me go down the road . then they razz past (and bmw drivers) at the first oppertunity and try to cut in as close to my car as poss just cos they didn't get any attention and my 38 year old ford did!

M3 drivers take note, you know you've done it.

problem with SOME scooby/evo etc high power jap car owners, are they think their cars are the dogs danglies, yeah theyre good but it doesnt make the driver any better than someone else. i know of a few scooby drivers who are totally up themselves cause they think their cars own the roads. Not all are the same, and my mate gets well jealous of the looks i get in the capri

Have you thought that maybe it was just a co-incidence that this bloke was in an evo, and he'd have stuck the finger up to you in any car, maybe HE was just a twat, not the car.

Maybe you have a pre-conceived idea that because you spunk lots of money on an old car, that people are envious of you if they have an equally (or more so) expensive (but inferior) car in your eyes?

Personally, i doubt 95.3% of people could not give two fucks if you drove a 1930's Ford Model T with a tuned up twin Concorde engine in it (only my opinion of course).

If a ModelT went down the road sporting two 'tuned' concorde engines....im sure everyone in a 25mile radius would give a huge fuck. Stupid comment (only my opinon of course).

Hate to say it but EVO and Scooby drivers have huge chips on their shoulder

WHY??? Your 40 and meathead with skin head and drives a proven QUICK and well sorted car. My only thought is that they have little cocks and so have the littleman syndrome - ggrrhhh Iam an angry man, I don't want you to know that my wife giggles when I get undressed

If you raced and kicked his arse, they generally HATE that, in fact making people in Evos, Scoobies, E55AMGs, etc really shown up n angry is great fun and makes owning a fast car all worth while, as so many people seem to think their cars are unbeatable just because most standard stuff cant get near em.

But sticking his fingers up for no reason is a bit odd

my opinion was symbolic , if you want to be taken literally....why only within a 25 mile radius? also why 25miles, is this the range of model T/concorde hybrid detection?? Also, i don't think the model T/concorde were made in 1930? Correct me if i'm wrong...

Mates about to buy an evo, so will see if he changes like a werewolf as the evo badge appears before him

Naturally it is a stereo type and not fair to pigeon hole all evo drivers, maybe it's because they want to look as mean as possible to deter people from calling round in the middle of the night to collect the keys

Evo owners usually tend to be ok , but there are a lot of arrogant pricks around in most cars to be honest, always nice kicking an M3's arse , they get proper wounded

The T-Cord (as it became known) had a couple of completed preproduction models for press use in 1930 altho they still had trouble with sound barrier calibration of the speedo

Had a bloke in a corsa give me the wanker sign once, I was coming down a long road and he was coming the other way, he gunned it to scare me out of the way, so I gunned it back at him (bit daft, but honestly would have gone head on )

He swerved in at the last moment and looked pretty angry at not intimidating me, he was fooking huge so I nailed it

most evo owners i speak to are fine, the problem may be that the older evo's are now dropping to the value where a few of the 'chavs' can afford them, it happened to the cosworth & subaru
i'm generely a ford person but people who dislike evo's or subaru's should really have a good look & a drive of them, there both fantastic cars

Scooby’s are the new cav sri's imo, and whats with subaru owners and the clothing? They and their complete family seem to be kitted out like the flocking world rally team

I think that every subaru (new and second hand) must come with its own wardrobe full of blue subaru related attire, OR!!!! the clothing is some how linked to the immobiliser (yep that’s definitely it)
