Wanna race there our kid?!!

[THE BIG DOG]

On the brighter side of thing I did take the baby on a run to pick the youngest up from the bus station after failing with the ECU setup. While I was parked waiting, some young northen sounding Chav on his mobile phone walks over to the car and starts to give it the once over while holding his phone to his ear (which he never took away from his lugg holes all the time I was there) say out of the blue " You want some cherry bomb manifolds for that"
Now I look at him
He replies " Well its a Rover engine aint it?"
I'm inside
I calmly explain that this was TVR in house AJP v8 base F1 design engine and not a Rover!
He replies totaly off topic " Wanna race"?
I look and reply "What, agianst your bus!"
To which he starts to walk away and replies " All for show and no go"
then sitting his arse back down and waiting for his bus to arrive!!!!!!
The best one yet for me!!!

Sounds like a scally

Or a Ned if you're Scottish. (Ned = weegie slang for Non Educated Delinquent)

Done this a couple of times with the modified jap or saxo crowd. I just poodle around the roundabouts of swindon at the speed limit (ish) without slowing down. I've left a couple on top of the roundabout before

How exactly did he plan to race? Was he going to run?

Not sure myself. He never had a car. Chances being he does'nt own a car and it would have been his mates car.
Then again...He could be a member of our local Maccy Racers Club!!!!

A must join club for all the discerning car enthusiasts

I ve had a couple of these M'c D, racers also! A bright yellow Hyundi Accent 1.3 Glsi no less with a big wing stuck on the back with bostick! he just would'nt leave me alone untill i gave him a run! now i dont usually bother wasting the fuel on cars like that but he kept on coming so close it was dangerous for his health because if he had bumped me id have stuck his rear wing up his Fu**ing backside! any way we came round a bend with him screaming in 2nd gear prob? and he flew across both lanes of this duel carridgeway and really thrashed it while i was just plodding in third at the side of him laughing! his girlfriend gave me a dirty look and then refused to look my way again!
Two days later i could'nt stop laughing as this very same car was sat on the roundabout on top of what used to be a cheveron and a tree and pidgeons using his wing as a birdbath

It's quite rare to get them to race as they've usually tarted up the bodywork, fitted a dustbin as an exhaust and nothing else.

We had a porsche GT3 driver race up the A43 this afternoon then undertake a car that wouldn't pull over from the outside lane. He then braked down to 30 on this other driver then accelerated hard away.

With the traffic he didn't get far so we caught up with him at the next roundabout. Childishly I accelerated hard to 60, leaving him standing then poodled from there. He belted past me then braked hard thinking there must be a copper, then accelerated hard again.

Last seen slightly sideways around a roundabout near Brackley heading towards silverstone. Older, rather large gentleman which was surprising.

I assume you are being sarcastic?

Perhaps he should be in an XK.

On friday I was sitting next to a couple of lads in a W reg Ford Focarse. lights change he dumped his clutch, front wheels made a loud "chirrup" and he was away!

I was incredibly impressed at the power, speed, delivery and control.

That's only after i'd lined up a new set of mp3s to listen to before gently cruising away.

I think a lot of people in shit cars try and race because they just don't understand what the cerbera is and can do. Certainly not really something you should be doing in a 30 mph zone!

Nope - just surprised when we caught him up/overtook him that he wasn't a young prat in a porsche, but instead he was about 45 and 20 stone or more, extreemly large bloke, wedged into a GT3 with the seat reclined back as far as it would go.

I was expecting a much younger pillock judging from his driving.

Sounds rather unpleasant. Can we all roll back to the politeness of the 1940's.
