Default Following on from the 'WHAT RACES YOU WON?' post.....

......what races have you LOST MISERABLY???

I go first....

on the way to southend in S2. Car was behind me down A127 in the dark. didn't know what it was then. Put my foot down and it pulled near me on the other lane. I had my foot WELDED to the floor and the passenger leant out of the window and shouted...."come on, lets ave it"

the car then FLEW off at over 100mph, like mine pulled in 2nd at 30mph!

then the cars identity reavealed itself.....MG METRO... and 4 grown men in it!!!!

i was on my own!!! demoralised and nearly turned round in a huff and went home!!!

(later revealed on the sea front that it had a lotus elise engine in it)

the worst one was coming back from court in Tonbridge along some really wide lanes with my old man in the car. A Skyline R34 came up behind me in the cossie(330hp), he clearly wanted me to play so i booted it and pulled about 7 car lengths, that was it, he passed me like i was a 1.1 fiesta,he was popping flames and over took on a bend in excess of 100mph lol.

His numberplate read B1 CEP (Bicep)

i later found out he drives that strech of road a lot and had over 550hp.

i was in my mk3 xr3i cabriolet which was standard and was a total piece of crap, got it for about £300 or something to run around in, and a corsa came following me and hinted at a race, was only a merit or something with lots of stickers and a big exhaust lol, so i thought no bother, dropped a gear and floored it, not very fast mind u, and the corsa took off as if i was stood still, couldnt beleive it! how embaressing, as we approached a roundabout, knowing he was gonna go all the way round and back the way we came i whipped up the handbrake at the junction, round the little island and put the foot down again to get a head start, guy who went the whole way round came flying past me again. i was gutted, later found out he had a red top in there.

driving my mates stage 3 saff cossie when i was about 18, was dark and there is a massive hill near where i live, everyone always goes there when they get a new car to see what it will pull over the top from 30mph at the bottom, anyway following 2 cars before the hill, road goes to 2 lanes at the bottom but as i went to boot it the car in front pulled out to overtake the other one i had to go on the wrong side of the road to go round both of them (never got to see what the one in the front was) so theres me doing 100+ 3/4 of the way up when WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH turns out the car i didnt see was a local 4x4 saff cossie pushing about 450bhp felt like i was going backwards

oh and tried dragging a mates gsxr1300 in the westie and got totally stuffed

In my Red RST i tried having a blast with a black XR2. Should have been no problem for a RS Turbo with 170ish bhp to see off a std looking E Reg XR. Then suddenly at 50mph he was catching me and at 80mph he was along side and at 100 we was past and pulling away

Later found out he runs a 1.9cvh fully worked head and lightened ballanced botton end and on twin 45's

up the A10 in enfield i once tried it with an M3, saw him at the lights n though fook it....

in the lower gears there wasn't much between us except for my fookin spinning wheels it wasn't until around 80-90mph that he started properly pulling away. lets say i learnt a few lessons that night

You on about the Nova with "1.3 ...... or is it" on the bottom of the plates? If so yeah Marks Nova was proper quick on twin 40's and a proper rolling road set up (BTW not quicker than a Red RST )
