If anyone on here drives a dark blue metallic Impreza, seen on the A10 in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, with the plate T3 WRC then you’re a prized t****r. Let me explain to everyone exactly why.

Last night you put the lives of me, my girlfriend and the occupants of another car in great danger with your senseless, stupid, dangerous and crazy conduct.

You were driving quite normally and then obviously saw me in the side mirror as I approached in lane two. Why do I know this? Because all of a sudden you decided to drop the clutch and rev the nuts off it to show the power/noise from the exhaust. Thanks for that bit of ***** waving, but I’ve seen a Subaru before.

We BOTH know your car is marginally quicker in a straight line, especially when I don’t believe for a second your car was standard – any more than an Escort Cossie can be found on the road in standard form. What you should have considered is that my Focus RS is still being run in and not everyone is out to prove themselves to complete strangers.

When I pulled away, you came behind me and started to push me along. So, I put my foot down and gave you an opportunity to pass so I could see how much quicker your car was in a straight line. This would have been fine as you could say “I beat a Focus RS” and I could think “It’s actually keeping up quite well”. If we were on the twisties (!) then of course things may have been more evenly matched...

But no, rather than pass me you decided to prove your “immense” speed by trying to ram the back of the car. Either that or you didn’t have quite enough power to pass after all…

When I tapped my brakes to say “enough is enough” as we were up to 110-120mph, you THEN decided to pass in what must have been the most insane decision anyone could ever make. You would make Colin McRae proud.

You now had a car approaching in the other lane doing half the speed, which meant you then needed to swerve back into my lane to get in front.

So, at over 100mph with a slow car rapidly approaching, you floored it and squeezed through the tightest gap which could have taken me out or the other innocent party. Way to go.

If you’re on here I’d just like to say that your time on this planet is going to be rather short if you drive like this in the future.

thought scoobies were faster than a focus RS in a straightline

 

Doing 120mph on the road isnt senseless, stupid, dangerous or crazy is it?

 

Especially with a passenger

Save it for the track mate!

 

Running it in at 120mph - wottanobba

 

Hi Jon,

Just thought I would get my side accross.

Yes I am a proud owner of an Impreza and when you are racing (and dont say you wern't) you dont slam on your brakes at 110-120 mph when someone is behind you.

This left me with no other option than to move in to the other lane to overtake you. But guess what, you then decided it was time to race again, trying to floor it so I can't pass you. Thats why I overtook you.

Just because you can't take it that an Impreza beat you, there's no need to cry about it. If say you know about Impreza's, then you should know not to race with one.

So the next time you want to call me a t****r think about your own driving (if thats what you call it)and who the t****r really is?

I had a 911 driver hose his brakes on at 125 tonight, almost hit the fooking central reservation!!!.. he did not tap the brakes...He slammed them! There was absolutely nothing ahead, i bloody hate that.

 

jonmorris...I thought that name rang a bell. So, I went and had a look in my Oxford Dictionary, and lo and behold, there's a full colour picture of you, right next to the word "Hypocrite"...

OMG Now Now children don't get upset because the Focus is set to become the new performance icon
Focus RS's are quicker and handle better than your all giving them credit for.
I should know just sold my STi 7 and got one

Sideways, any chance of a ride in your car?

 

Both of you where idiots...

 

Agree with Luke.

Both of you are Tossers.

 

Just wondering which one of you could pi55 highest up the wall?

 

I think the scooby dooby would **** highest up the wall- from the sounds of it Jon morris has a small dick and is forced to race others to prove otherwise- he then bottlesout-blocks them and then is surprised when someone takes matters into their own hands and undertakes him. What a sad man- if u want to play at street racing then accept that you say goodbye to all the rules (for example driving at over 100mph). You don't even know how to play the game jon-morris so stay out of it- I do 'cos it's not worth it

Oh and scooby dooby it sounds like you are in the "right" (not that anyone is in the right during an illegal street race)- tosser sits in outside lane- brakes in front of you- what a loser . I'm not surprised u undertook him- my mate the lunatic T5 owner(he races bangers at Arlington stadium) in Sussex has a policy of always making contact with tossers like jon morris- I was with him on Handcross hill in Sussex- A27 when he nudged a BMW 530 at 60mph- the tosser soon stopped blocking the outside lane then- he was too busy trying to stop fishtailing all over the road! Please note I do not condone this behaviour- but it was funny seeing the look of terror on Mr BMW's smug face.

 

Scooby-Dooby i think you know who i am instead of taking out your need to let rip on the road why don't come to santa pod on sunday and let rip there.

Should be quite a lot of us going, we're all meeting up at South Mimms at 8am.

If you are interested then mail me as per profile.

Mel.


P.s Both of you take a deep breath and relax you both have cars most people would die for so lets keep them nice and straight and not wrapped round some lampost.
Jonmorris i know you were angery but i wouldn't like it if my number plate was posted up on here for all to see.

Sorry double post.

Why doesn't my edit posts work!

Mel.

 

And the moral of the story is........... Don't race on the roads...... its people like this that cause the police to give the rest of us a hard time for doing 90 on an empty motorway. Im not saying drive like a granny but who needs to drive over 110 mph anyway? ever thought how long it would take to stop in an emergency situation at these high speeds? Admitedly no one buys a scooby to poodle around in (might as well buy a V&*xhall) but a scooby should be enjoyed, its all about the grin factor, who can grin in hospital.

One important thing generally overlooked is that most UK reviewers only get to say The Focus RS is better than the Impreza because they only compare it to a UK spec Impreza, and we all know that Imports are better (for the minute??).

F*ck me. Sideways. Twice in fact.

And you wonder why we get a bad name and pay sh1tloads of insurance. Trade them in boys, before u kill yourself.

Beige metro??!!

Save it for the track [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
You're not allowed/supposed to do that on the track.
Save it for Gran Turismo

 

unusual for find a "was it you" response actually being able to reply.

Sounds like you both think you were in the right, and from your own eyes you probably were.

At the end of the day sounds like you were both driving like plonkers, yeh Ive done that speed too I know, but it dont make either of you right.

And as for running in at 120, hmmmmmmmmm

 

Yeah, don't save it for the track, there's too many tossers on there already

 

So how come a stupid thread like this one gets 20 replies in no time and only 10 people show interest in the Prodrive chief dynamics engineer coming to scoobynet to answer questions?

I think there are a lot of "muppets" here!

 

Claudius,

An informative post doesn't need 20 opinions, so where' the fun in that?

 

Claudius, where is the Prodrive post?

LOL @ Notoriuous

DBM, it's in "Suspension", posted by "webmaster"

 

U r all a bunch of hypocrits

ur telling me that u havent done 110/120 on the public highways!!!

come on who u lot trying to kid.

we all have our 'moments so we're all as bad as each other.

Jon: suggest u remove speed and road/location in ur orignal post, dont want mr plod using it as evidence

one thing i must comment on tho jon, hitting the brakes as u said u did at the mentioned speed, very dangerous!!! did u really want the rear end of ur RS transformed?
