Contrary to t'other thread, whether your pretend to or not we all like giving shiney expensive metal a good hiding so what have you given a pasting? In a year, the only two half decent motors I have come across is a TVR350 and a shiney white audi s5 (350bhp apparently). Your turn

Funnily the worst ones have always been bikers. Usually on old R1 or GSXR with lots of tat bolted onto them and a sagging rear shock.
It depends on the mood really, either smoke them properly or just back off and take another route.
Car wise it's always the Mondeo/A4/3 serie rep diesel. I don't consider it a race, merely a formality.

Haha, brilliant... I'll admit to getting served by a Honda civic.
Traffic lights before a Wet long uphill motorway slip road late at night, civic type r comes along side... I think meh... I'll see you later, then he revs the engine... I hear the mother of all blow off valves and turbo wushiness.
Oh god... Kept with him to 70 because I had the traction advantage(I could hear his wheels scrabbling), then it started really shifting , and just sodded off down the motorway.

A Mercedes CLS AMG. We sprinted from traffic light to traffic light a bit. At the next set of lights, the road goes from a normal road to a motorway. I filtered through the line of waiting traffic and got ahead a bit. A while later the AMG came blasting past and I managed to tag on to him easily. When I got level with the driver, I gave him a thumbs up. He didn't even look over to me, staring ahead with white knuckles on the steering wheel

My prefered method of 'racing' people is not to race them at all, just sit behind and match their pace in as relaxed fashion as possible. I took great pleasure in attaching myself to the bumper of a Focus ST that overtook me on a drive home the other day. You could see he was trying, even though he wasn't going very fast (don't know how people manage that, but whatever)... must have been a bit frustrating having a grey Volvo diesel estate in the rear view mirror... I never pressure, just match the pace. It's amusing.

A ferrari 308, driven enthusiastically by an italian bloke.
It was great, he paid for the petrol I had used up...
He had always wanted a RS 125, but his parents wouldn't let him when he was 17, and he went into cars...

Had a race with two Motorcycle Policemen. They got the hump when they were losing and put the blue lights on. I won a day at a speed awareness course.

... the most recent one was a Fabia vRS ... the lad was trying bless him but I didn't even need to change down gear to overtake him on the R1 (I was in 6th @ 50mph... lol) ... The best was an Audi RS6 in red on the East Lancs road from lights to lights... it was proper quick but the R1 had the upper hand although I suspect at seriously high speeds the tables may turn! I had to put the hammer down hard to beat it! I don't make a habit of racing but there is sometimes a time and a place

The last one was a chav on a quad begging for a race at some lights. I played, left him for dust as he stood it on the rear wheels & then found out the grey car behind us was unmarked plod  Slight b  king time, but the chav got the worst of it for the wheelie.

Had a 911 (turned out to be a base Carrera) flash their lights at me to move on a dual carriage way recently (Formby bypass for those who know it). Got very angry when I didn't move and started to follow me very closely. Waited patiently for the cars in front of me to move over and then proceeded to do the whole "there was a bike here a moment ago?!" thing with them. Guy driving it ignored me at the next set of lights as I sat waving to him while waiting to turn. He then roared away from the lights as quickly as possible too.
Conversely, got my arse well and truly handed to me by a fairly normal looking Impreza that turned out to be running the mother of all turbo's. Humbling would be a good description.

Not me, but a Ninja (think it was a ZX10R) vs Bentley Continental on their way out of town I was trying to keep up (subtle like, not racy), but it was phenomenally entertaining to watch and those barges really shift when they want to, I kept up for 2 sets of lights before they got too swift for me.

I had a play with a Corsa vxr on my Tuono stayed behind him until the road opened up and it was bye bye as I went flying past him trying to keep the front in check. Although I watched my mate get his a*se handed to him on the bristol ring road by a Ariel Atom.

My old neighbour always made me chuckle, he used to tear around everywhere and dangerously in an M5 he was a local councilor. Several times he tried to race me and he never knew it was me that left him standing.
One day he came round asking for my vote and then looked at my bike and I explained the power to weight ratio of a 636 weighing 180kilos and a M5 weighing nearly 2000 kilos.
Can I have your vote he asked, only if you stop driving like a twit!
I used to bait drivers of M sports and AMG's now I can not be bothered although I remember the AMG estate I baited once in a 30 sitting on my rear wheel. Every time he speed up to get past (bearing in mind there were loads of schools on said road) I speed up until I caught up with the coaches in front then slowed down.
The driver then got annoyed overtook the coach to find a police car on the other side of the coach!

Left behind by a Supra Turbo while on my Fireblade doing V-max.
Trounced by a Buick Grand National on my 900SS away from a set of traffic lights.
I retired from racing cars after those two.

Not bikeyness I'm afraid but was driving the ex's TT 2L when a lotus starts to over take, draws level on the Duel carriageway and looks at me.... Red rag to a bull. The next thing is 2 abreast shooting down the road. Ended with a mutual nod of the head and the eventual peeling of my ex's fingers off the handle of the passenger door.

Innit... Bruvvas... Proppa like... Or at least I think that's what chavs say when they are making up tall tales of how they have humbled other road users...
