Tell us why you couldn't race him away from the lights

Because I thought I had Little Deuce Coupe cued up and ready to go but when the lights changed I hit Play and Little Saint Nick came on. Hopeless.

Good job it wasn't "It's Raining Men", what with an empty washer bottle and all.

Add lightness - empty washer bottle.

It all adds up.

I tried that with the fuel tank, yet it was curiously counter-productive.

Try draining the oil next time. Engine, gearbox, diff. Imagine the weight saving.

Better yet, install radio control and conduct the Traffic Light Grand Prix from the comfirt of the window table in Home Dainties Tea Room thus saving at least 80kg.

More in some cases.

Because I was in a BMW 330i, and he was in an M3.

So I didn't bother trying.

According to Facebook a remap makes the 330i the one to go for

It was just too easy!

In a police car?

With 106 miles to Chicago and a full tank of gas, half a packet of cigarettes in the dark wearing sunglasses?

Well he did say "Hit It"

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 find it difficult to understand anybody noticing of a dreary Skoda box irrespective of whatever badges might adorn it.

Perfectly put & because you choose to very obviously ignore such silliness you can be sure that to be so ignored would have been very painful for we all hate to be ignored. Silence & being ignored - VERY powerful weapons.

By the time my passenger and I had finished debating whether or not Aubergine was ever a standard Ford colour the purple Anglia was long gone. 

[ArmaghMan]

Because he had a turbo and I dont so i was bound to loose.

Well next time make sure you are tied up a bit tighter.

[Digby]

Because I was on my bicycle. What are these "lights" you speak of?

Prominent primary colour illuminations at intervals along the road. There's loads of them so nothing to worry about.

I had my winters on which meant to much power vs grip.
