it just realy pisses me off! because i drive a "modded" car other drivers think that I'm going to drive like a dick on my way home from work and a stupidly lound corsa flies up my arse flashing me to go faster and race him, after over taking me and throwing mc donalds rubbish behind he sped off! grrr just pisses me off when people act like that! is it just me or do other people get the same thing?

yeah i noticed this...old people give you right dirt looks as you drive past them

chavs want to race you

vans want to intimidate you

its wank!

lol i agree with that old people make me laugh just cus you have an exhaust they shout slow down when your doing the speed limit!

I had an MG ZR, with a big exhaust, try to race me to 70mph going onto a dual carrage way. I out accelerated him and when he finally caught up with me he got his passenger to lean out his window and shout "idiot". Still confused as to why he figured that out just by me accelerating briskly up to the speed limit

yeah, i was going through a car park at like 5 mph, in 1st....this woman grabs her kid who's running about all over the place and give me a right look

am like, i aint duin fuck all wrong bitch! tis your kid on the rampage in the car park

haha yeah agreed. had this 08 TT try and teach me a lesson yesterday just cause he saw me pull away quick a few lights ago, come up to a dual carriage way and flaws it same time as me in the other lane....just a shame he couldnt pass lol then he backed off when he realised that his 30k car got beasted by a 2k dub :)

my other car, hillman imp, has a straight through exhaust and the engines at the back lol old people think I'm scum even though it takes 22 seconds to reach 60 lol

I used to get dickheads trying to race me in my golf gti. I'm not interested in racing so they just zoom off

on their own.

A bloke flashed his lights at me yday, he got next to me, gave him the w@{}4r sign, he stuck his middle finger up,thought i aint having that.

So i went behind him, he tried driving off, dont help at 5pm rush, pulled up next to him, gave him a little threat and that was me lol

Foglights.... THE HINTS IN THE FUCKING NAME!!

yeah i noticed this...old people give you right dirt looks as you drive past them

they just stare at my wheels

even got a compliment today as i stopped at some traffic lights by some guy who almost got on his knees to have a decent look at my wheels

I get it all the time,but not by 'chavs'.

I had an '08 Octavia VRS pushing me (and passenger) to work just today.

Like,mine cost a monkey to build,and his cost how much?

And if he couldn't read the '1.4' emblem on my boot,then i really dont think he should've been driving at all.

He seemed to have a little bit more than me,yet he didnt get past me until he cut someone up. What's that all about?

i'm a sucker for a race with poop cars lol

This is why if I have a quick car, I like it to be unassuming. No one tries to race you, because they assume it isn't quick, and if you are in a rush, no one tries to keep up with you for fear of the embarassment factor when they can't.

Quiet's good too, I like to be able to see speed traps before they hear me coming :)

The worst I've ever had as a result of this approach is the landlord of my local accusing me of sticking a V6 badge on a 1600cc, he didn't believe me til I opened the bonnet, then he didn't speak to me for the rest of the evening

I dont get young lads in done up cars (I'm not pointing the finger at you lads because I'm sure u dont do it) especially the ones in like 1.0 mk1 corsas with arnt actually "done up" there just bodged! well get this we used to have a K reg sierra not long ago which was an 1800.cause young lads used to take one look at it and take it on but whats the point? because everytime we used to just wave bye to em and leave em stood!!!

haha yeah agreed. had this 08 TT try and teach me a lesson yesterday just cause he saw me pull away quick a few lights ago, come up to a dual carriage way and flaws it same time as me in the other lane....just a shame he couldnt pass lol then he backed off when he realised that his 30k car got beasted by a 2k dub :)

Ummm, doesnt the G40 have the same BHP to the ton as an TT anyway think they both come in at around 150BHP per ton, as the mk3 weighs fuck all and the TT weighs too much for its size.

But this shows it isn't just chavs its people in powerful cars who cant handle them/dont know how to drive them, I've had a Crossfire fly passed me on a straight, ok no problem hes got a lot more power than i have, but for the next 8 miles i was almost pushing him as he didn't have a clue on how to take bends in it (and the coast road between South and North Wales is very bendy) he pulled in a let me pass at which point i didn't see much of him for the rest of the journey as it gets even more bendy between Machynlleth and Dolgellau.

Mainly i get chavs trying to race and then realize that there 1.0l halfords warehouse corsa cant go over 50 due to shit falling off.

Had one try and race me along a straright into the local village in a lowerd/body kitted corsa i was only doing 50 going up to 60 and he couldn't get passed but theres a speed bump well before the 30 limit I went over it no problem as my car isnt lowerd and i can get a wheel either side, behind screaming brakes as he tried to slow down to get over it. FAIL!!!

i pretty much had the same experiance a few weeks back in tesco purlel car park when some indian woman had a oad of kids pamong around in the road and i came round the corner slow as , then the kid decided to come up to my bonnet and start touching it. the mum didnt do anything so i beeped my horn and she shit himself lol then the mum started shouting so i just dropped the window and shouted get the fucking kid out the fucking road lol was funny when i look back

I find it particularly funny when I come to a stop somewhere and have some chav approach me with a comment such as, "awmost 'ad you on dem der twisties bruv, rapid that fing init beh," as it's only then that I realise I was a participant of a race.

The funny thing is I can just imagine you driving with the roof down, goggles, hat and scarf on

^^ Happens quite a bit around my ends seeing I live near Chav city Essex!!!!

You have no recollection a race took place and then suddenly someone coems besides you to say, 'unlucky'!

As most of ours, my car doesn't have huge spoilers, kak bodykits taped up to it so most chavs don't think much of mine. However, I sometimes take the bate depending on the other drivers attitude. There's nothing like bringing a person down to earth when they think their car is the shizzle. So I only do it if someones driving around like a dick and blaring music like crazy trying to look the idiotic part to match. Thats when my standardish quiet polo comes besides them at the lights and suddenly moves faster then theirs lol

Its usually daft shitvic and ford drivers in East London who I come against.

Exactly, I don't want to lose my hat now do I.

I might mess my hair up. :-D

i'm a sucker for a race with poop cars lol

x2

the funniesty is when saxo VTRs roll up next to me when I'm in the GT

cannon fodder lol

I was driving at 70 in the outside lane yesterday, checked my rear view mirror, nothing there. Looked 3 second later and some ned in a Saxo was like an inch off my bumper, so I just put my foot down and left him for dead. Usually I'd just pull over and let them get on with it but was in that kind of mood last night

I love it, makes my day sometimes but all depends on my mood. If i feel like being a c**t, i'll sit bang on the limit and do everything to the book but if its a knob in a standard car with a heinz exhaust or a show off in an expensive car, then i chuckle to myself as i drop a cog or 2 and watch them disappear backwards!

@ Cymro- didnt say it was standard spec pal. about 150 bhp

does my head in as well!

while ago i got called into work late at night, about half 10, so i was genuinely in a hurry to get in. As I'm driving up the dual carraige way some chav in a starlet turbo pulls up- cos i am in a hurry i must want a race. so i hang back, cos obviously his turbo will eat my 1.4 8v.... so he hangs back. i take it easy up the carraigeway then as i pull off on a slip road he boots it, but as he pulls away, he dives into my lane, nearly taking the front end off my car- then is off in the distance.
