Have one of these, Marty

Glad somebody got it

Apologies! I got it but omitted to say anything.

Main reason I sold my fabia vrs. Great all Round car but the amount of numpties trying to race you is unreal. Even when you dont take the bait they more often than not would perform a suicidal move to get in front of you.

Traffic grand prix got boring years ago with the widespread introduction of AWD and DCT gearboxes any numpty can drive fast in a straight line.

More into b roads now when I haven't got the kids in the car

I took off in 3rd deliberately, to , um save fuel.
That's right, I did it on purpose to save fuel.

Excuses. Excuses.

The best thing I’ve read on here in a long time

[Weekendrebuild]

Because I’m still cold and on brand new rod bearings , ain’t wearing them out !

[coldel]

Because when I hit 88 miles per hour I go back in time and I cannot be bothered to retype all my posts back into PH

[Rtig]

I was too busy smoking my cheap European tobacco and trying to flick my fag ends on to some shmuck in a Mercedes with a buckled wheel.

[VeeFource]

Because my engine oil is only up to temperature for the last 2% of my commute and I can't be bothered to get up earlier/home later.

[1210m5g]

Because a deliveroo driver always filters to the front of the traffic lights to block my launch.

I've experienced lots of that since I got my m140, it's the first car i've owned that's reasonably fast and i've had lots of numpties go out of their way to overtake and cut my off me as if to prove some sort of point.

[Last Visit]

My chauffeur said it was beneath him.

Debadge it and your problems go away... but then how would others know how superior you are to them? First world problems...

He had blue and yellow battenburg all down the sides. And a rotating roofrack.

1988. We were driving down to Brighton to go clubbing, White suits, Miami Vice style. I think the club was even called Tropicana.

We're in pole position at a red light on the A23 North of Brighton Town Centre in Lane 1. A Police car pulls alongside us in Lane 2 with a pretty WPC in the passenger seat. I smile at her and she smiles back. My mates dare me to floor it - there's a LOT of egging from them. Don't ask me why, but when the lights change I floor it. Cue Blues and Twos and I pull over. I get the third degree from the pretty WPC. She pulls out the ticket book to write me up. Then there's a crackle on the radio and a large fight in a pub and all available officers response. The WPC runs towards her car, shouts at me I'm lucky tonight and to slow down.

[Digby]

Nothing to prove. I'm the best there is. Plain and simple. I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence.

[Pericoloso]

I was too busy fixing my hair ......convertible owner.

I reckon that might have been the reason why the Land Rover driver got the jump on me off the lights!

[DanStirl]

Because my in-car laptop was blaring "DANGER TO MANIFOLD" and sparks were coming up through the floor

[seeby]

I was too engrossed in the ending of the porno I was watching on my dvd screen .

[Mr Tidy]

Are we sure this is Pistonheads - after all Speed Matters!

[Wills2]

Because I'm still developing my cadence clutching technique.
