Modern cars embarrassed

NO giant slaying but I had a great play with a new Porsche 911 (dunno what the number is now days), on the A3 between Wandsworth and Tolworth at about 1am. This was about 3 years ago in my Alfa 33 Cloverleaf,.. Was really gentlemanly,.. Both of us grinning ear to ear.

Also blew a 205Gti that decided to race me off at the lights once. I don't think he thought my car was fast, just noisy,.. dunno if it was a 1.6 or a 1.9 because those identifiers are difficult to read when they are so small in your rear view mirrors

My fave thing about my old Alfa was the straight through exhaust ment that my girlfriend could hear me arriving to pick her up when I was still half a mile away (Pulling off the A3 towards Putney (where she worked))



So erm,.. no modern cars,... I was once embarassed by a Porsche 944 Turbo though. It spat fire and everything. I pulled up next to him at the next set of lights, I just smiled and shrugged. This gave him a giggle

Hmm, with a faster than normal 1300 Mk1 golf..

Wasted a corrado of some sort probably only an 8v, but my car cost less than his rims...

and some sort of modern J rice thing through the lanes last summer...hehe.... vtec smeetec.... ;D

Upset a 540i in my bro-in-law's 1600 Mk1 GTI Golf (he got his revenge by steaming past us when we were almost flat out at 120-odd though )

Upset my mate in his 306 Dturbo when I was 18 and had my Audi 80 1600GL we were on the M1, 'playing', and he decided he was going to cut in front of me in the middle lane.... only I had other ideas... he couldn't keep up when I decided to not let that happen.... I slowed up eventually and let him catch back up.... he wasn't impressed! ;D

It's all great fun!

I has a MK1 cooper s 1380 (mad spec) which claimed the dignity of a lotus elise round donnington park (he actually waited for me down the straight as id been set off after him (it was a track day) shot past him out of redgate and down craner, it was mint.i was down at rally GB and raced a new imprezza wrx round the roundabouts at filindre service park and won, a cheecky 2.5v6 vectra repmobile nad my mates stripped out tunes J curse word civic 16 vtec! ended up selling the car after it blew 3 gearboxes in 3 weeks bank rupting me, and now i have a 1256 chevette so i just about keep up with my gran walking her dog! how the mighty have fallen! (but give me a wet roundabout any day)!

The first drive out in my Mini after I had it tuned, I met a chav in a Sapphire Cossy at a set of traffic lights (jct 12 M4 if anyone knows them). After the lights there's a roundabout at the end of a 700yrd'ish slope, then on to a dual carriage way for about a mile before another roundabout.

Anyway....... I screetched up to the lights as they'd just changed, and this chav pulled up next to me, revving the car up so that the pump valve was hissing away. I sat there, didn't look, I just gave the Mini a little throttle so that it popped through the exhaust.
The lights went amber and we were both off down the slope towards the roundabout. He got the better of me off the lights but I was soon alongside him coming in to the roundabout. He braked hard so I shot passed him. Dropped in to third and floored it around the roundabout cutting him up to take the inside line. It must have been half a mile until he caught me up.
The next roundabout I can take at about 70mph as there's not much of a bend if you're going straight on. Again he braked coming in to the roundabout but I only lifted a little and shot through the roundabout. I waited for him to catch me up but I think he chickened out and turned round at the roundabout.

had this experience in reverse once!

My lovely wife bought me a weekend drive in a TVR Chimera (she's lovely). with a mate on board we were tooling around the Cirencester ring road when Jonny Chav in a Chavalier SRi comes along side. Off the roundabout the front of the Chavalier goes up...he's having a go the mad curse word!

Anyway, safe to say that we arrived at the next roaundabout considerably ahead of the Chav.

Tried it on down the 419 to Swindon against a Griffith, which dropped the Chimera like a stone. Sobering to find that even in a quick car there are others in quicker ones!

Ended the weekend in true TVR style... backwards in a hedge when a greasy 90 degree bend caught me out in second geaar. It just span!!

;D ;D

Thos Zetec-S's are a bit pants, had a similar sittuation in mine..

You spent how much on a Ford Fiesta?? And its slower than a Mk1 14 Year old Citroen AX GT?.. And your Fiesta is rueting & its only 2 years old?? And you pay how much for it each month? And You look like How Much of a hairdresser in it???

I borrowed a mates Renault 21 turbo. A great car. There was a BMW 3-series, no doubt a dismal 316 like, and a Carlton, both looking mega rough, having a race along the duel carriageway towards Middlesboro. They were both flat out, side by side at about 115. I razzed up behind them and started flashing them out the way. of course neither moved, so I just stuck behind them and nuked the pair of them as soon as it was 3 lanes. lovely.

One of the best modern cars i surprised had 2 be an Audi A4...i was cruising down the M180 towards Scunthorpe at around 60 mph in my 1980 Mk1 105S Estelle (Felicia 1.3 powered) when this green Audi A4 came passed me with driver and his wife/girlfriend/mistress laughing...i dropped into 3rd(only a 4 speed) nailed my foot to the floor and by the time i passed them the needle was sat on the 105mph mark...the look on their faces was great...105mph in a 24 yr old..4 speed Skoda ;D ;D ;D

I also upset my mates with their Escorts...Corsa's and other piles of curse word they like 2 drive in my tuned Rapid.
