If you're going to burn away from the lights
Discussion
in a straight line, at least check your front wheels are pointing forwards rather than to the right, unlike the complete and utter prize cock in the M3 on the Kenilworth Road in Leamington Spa this evening.
You Sir are the biggest t
t I've seen on the road for a while, quite how you didn't collide with your chavvy mate you were racing I'll never know.

The worst traffic light GP fail I've ever seen was a tit in a BMW 318Ti loading up the revs and dumping the clutch without forgetting to shift down from 4th or 5th gear. Cue the slowest, most embarrassing chug away from the lights imaginable. Almost made being stuck at the lights as they turned red again worth it!
The worst traffic light GP fail I can recall is a Vauxhall Astra with a 6-speed box. Somehow, the lad driving it it had selected reverse instead of first gear. After setting his clutch and trying to space away from the light, he plouged backwards into a Nissan Micra. It was his mother's car too.

If its a chav, are you sure it wasnt a 3 series with m3 badging?
I saw a 'Mondeo ST24' recently when i parked up behind one in a supermarket car park and it just didnt look right. I took a picture of the number plate on my phone and mycarcheck.co.uk confirmed it to be a Ford Mondeo 1.8 GLX

Is the misbadging sad or is checking the number plate on the internet sad?Well both are really.
Also when lining up for the traffic light grand prix its a good good idea to make sure you have a car with good drive shafts!
I picked up a Primera GT from Cumbria and drove it 270 miles back to London, a great trip, it flew down the road, I was very impressed by how good a crappy old Primera could be to drive.
So when I was sitting at some lights under the M40, 20 miles from home, and a nice new C4S pulled up along side I thought it would be shame not to make a decent start when the lights went green! (hoping he might blast off up the slip road leaving me behind in the wail of a glorious flat 6 cylinder Porsche....
Sadly not.
All that happened was I broke a drive shaft and had to wait 2 hours for the RAC to turn up. And when I got through to their call centre they told me my membership had expired, their sales office was closed as it was 18.01, and it cost £220 to join from the roadside. Oops.
Journey time - lake district to M25 J16 - 3 hours. M25 to Kingston, 2.5 hours!

Unless the guy was about 20 with 6 points then a ST24 is but a dream.
In fairness, even without the 6 points, you'd be punished if you insured a car like that at twenty.I was behind a chap on a GSX-R at the traffic lights today as it happens. I heard the revs being raised in preparation for the light change and sat expectantly waiting for the bike to go shooting off like an absolute rocket. Oddly, it didn't, the bike sort of chugged forwards, then the chap started hunting for the right gear, his foot flapping at the gear lever then finally one of the low gears banged into place and the bike fish-tailed down the road at quite some speed. I'm willing to bet he probably enjoyed it a bit but must have been utterly terrified - I thought he was going to be thrown off.
