Heading home after lunch along the A55 N/Wales,i start pulling up along side a Mitsubishi evo.He decides to floor it,after a second or so i think what the ,a couple of seconds later i'm up his rear,flashing my lights to pass he would'nt move over,he just kept trying to go faster.At the same time as me thinking how fast the cerb is, his engine blew.Only a couple of seconds at very high speed,in what was like thick fog with wife screaming was very scarey indeed.Looked back in mirror he was in ditch and both carrageways full of smoke.

As kev63 says maybe he'll get a proper car.

A good choice motor, for him to go for next would of course be the Tiv. But his last memory from his mirror before his engine blew up, would have stood out as ''TVR''.

So maybe not, he will always remeber never to mess with a tiv...

Hope all involved were OK. Whats the odds there then - A tiv and a Jap car both going hell for leather - which one the most likely to blow?

Before anyone else jumps on a rather tall horse, he didn't say the Evo was upside down, on fire. with bodies strewn all over the place, he said it was in a ditch....

Could have innocently parked up to examine what was left of said engine, or more likely the blown turbo.

And he hasn't mentioned speeding, as far as I can see, he "accelerated" up to 50 mph m'lord.

Evidence:-
He decides to floor it,after a second or so i think what the ,a couple of seconds later i'm up his rear,flashing my lights to pass he would'nt move over,he just kept trying to go faster.At the same time as me thinking how fast the cerb is, his engine blew.Only a couple of seconds at very high speed,in what was like thick fog with wife screaming was very scarey indeed.

Not sure you can post this sort of stuff and expect it to be condoned.

Up his rear
flashing my lights
he wouldnt move over
go faster
how fast the cerb is
very high speed

There will be a max power section in Pheads soon for chav owners.

If I were you I'd trade your Cerb in for a warm cardigan and a packet of Pan Drops and go and feed the ducks in the park...
