I did it to the local irritant in his chavved up saxo over the road from me. He used to think he was gods gift and just cos it makes a lot of noise its fast. Well its all of 1 litre and SLOW! Sad gimp! And to think I out dragged him at the lights having a childish moment in me range rover made it all the more amusing. He even avoids eye contact now when I wave hi

i think you get that reaction with any match box cars.. they spend all there money on fancy good looking bits then only have money to afford a K+N and a stupid bore exhaust..

Performance first looks 2nd imo

I don't often bother with racing etc, the only time i will, is when I am travelling along at a decent speed and get some c*ck on my bumper, then when they go for the overtake, I let them get along side and the leave them for dust!!

Makes them look a total tool as they are sitting on the the wrong side of the road having been whipped.

I think its a lot about how you drive and principles of motorway driving.

anyone that goes to undercut me when im in a queue of 80mph traffic and he has nowhere to go will get blitzed.

Unless he has something thats gonna beat me (and bigger balls) lol

As for off the line thats a lot to do with individual skill.

The cossie is fun, i think a lot of people think its a replica, or just see it as a 16 year old escort. have put to shame many a car 3-4 times the price.

the golf tdi 150bhp. not as quick, but in 5th gear on motorway i can simply put foot down and it pulls and pulls. handy for the saxo, fiesta, pug driver, just let him get level and then pull away

and what is the best fun is from the lights in my landrover. ive even had all 4 wheels spinning of the line, so funny with the saxo drivers and their mates in the car, hang that head in shame


also on the b roads, me pottering along at 50 to save fuel and some twat up me bum. let him over take, as the tries to get away then just sit behind him. once the trucks up to speed its very easy to carry the speed in the corners, due to 4x4 and about 4 times the tyre surface area. also headlights on really bugs them!

stupid and childish, but the little runts just boil my blood. i really need to take a anger managment course when it come to these pricks.

Couple of "i'm the nut's in my paxo" lad's round here got blasted with some chatter the other morning, funnily enough they don't laugh at the little fiesta when I drive past because they know deep down the turbo is only in the garage :d

the chasers quite good for it just as they have no idea what it is, but the car I got at the mo is MINT for it.

got a Toyota Auris 2.2 TD, and I took it to be remapped on thursday, its now 190bhp and 350lbft, and fucking goes some.

raced an original quattro earlier from 10-100ish, lightly modded, well enough that flames were coming from the exhaust, did that, tho the guy was cool and put thumbs up

raced some chopper and his mrs in one of them big v8 Q7s from 0-90ish, and he really didnt like a gay toyota diesel winning, refused to look over at the light, just stared out the opposite window.

only racing people you KNOW you can beat is the gayest thing ever IMO.

I used to have a k reg carlton estate 3.0 24v that could embarrass most things on the road when you wanted too. It had around 210 bhp. I loved that car!

Me and Karl Norris were out in our 3drs a few years ago and we made a group of TVR drivers look ike total twats....

They over took us and gave it the Charlie Big Balls as they passed........The women were in the passenger seats looking like that bird from the old skool computer game "OutRun".....hair blowing everywhere.

So Karl guns his..........and fuck me did it move......Then off i went.......

I think the TVR boys backed off at about 140mph............needless to say, we carried on going

i dont agree . i think that makes you look a total tool for holding someone up then trying to be a smart arse. if someone wants past and your cruising along, let them past.
there will be a day that you try that against the wrong car and your made to look a real tool when he puts his foot right down and leaves you for dead . then you will undoubtable come up along side at the next set of lights and he will be looking over laughing at you whilst you sit there with the drivers blinkers on pretending you cant see him .

exactly. i occasionally like to embarass a boy racer but i mainly like to race against bigger cars just to see how mine compares at that moment in time . theres no shame in losing but there is shame in taking defeat ungraciously. a thumbs up when you go seperate ways in glory or defeat
there will always be something faster out there one day and thats the beauty of the traffic light grand prix. you never know what the other persons done to their engine.....

Don't really bother with this "baiting" stuff nowadays, no point on the roads up here. Cops are all over.

I remember a few years back when some boy came up in his Scoob givin it the big 'un and I thought i'd try and show him up, or at least see how my old 1.9 Bayjoo-tweaked S2 would cope.

Needless to say it wiped him. So much that he pulled over to check under the bonnet as it "wasn't running right today".

Didn't help that is said it was big standard 1600 CVH when he asked what it was running.

I miss the old turbo...........

I got the missus a 95 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting (Abarth) a week ago. Propper little shitter, full of rust. Cost me £250 with tax and MOT. I'm embarassed to be seen driving it, won't make eye contact with anyone ever, but i'm driving it all the time, not bothered with my 2.0 Alfa 147 anymore. The little cinq is sooo much fun to rag about it, I love it. Shame people see me in it though.

I've taken on cars with about 50bhp than me before, namely BMW 3 series but not the 2.5s or higher. I've embarassed a couple before.

I reckon the best time to embarass others is when they have a full car of girls and they try to impress and they get absolutely pissed over Their faces are always a picture.
