Was out with the missus for a bit of a cruise before utd last night, and just before i came onto the silk road in macc i spotted a new silver sti. we both happened to be turning onto the silk road (dual carriage way) and i got all excited about the propesct of finding out how fast the new sti's were, so i volleyed it!!!!

The sti was no where to be seen, along two stretches of dual carriage way, so i turned off to go to the pub for the footy, i was ambling along a side road letting my baby cool down, and all of a sudden he was up my asre flashing and indicating for me to turn down another side road, i presume, for a race?

Im guessing it was someone who works for Monks Heath subaru, cos i see the car every monday on the way to knutsford to play footy

They look nice in the flesh, the flared arches look good, but the pilot should learn to drive properly, and know when to challenge someone!

I dont mind having a go down a dual carriage way, or any other decent rd, but flashing and indicating me to go down a sh1tty country lane full of potholes and big ranges and mercs parked randomly about is asking for trouble!

Im not suggesting that my classic was faster than a new sti, but i would have expected to see him in my rearview down the silky, if not pull along side?

Just cant work out what happened, why was he nowhere to be seen when the roads are good, then up my **** when on a tight little millionaires counrty lane full of expensive cars to hit?

If you read this, you care to explain?, or learn to drive?

 

Perhaps he's just picked it up and running it in so not going to boot in on the DC ??

 

Or freshly stolen

 

24K'S worth of new motor and probably running it in.I think your kidding yourself if you think a standard classic(215bhp) will beat a new 300bhp STi

 

would'nt be so sure,did'nt a golf trounce a wrx,ok not the same car but shows you can't judge a book by its cover!.....a good jdm classic in good health has a lot more than 215bhp and is no where near as lardy as the new sti.

 

Had a classic and a bugeye and now a hawkeye sti and believe me in standard form no chance

 

300 bhp ????? are they not 280 ? And they way a ton

 

fair enough"on my 4th,myself" but have to say i still recon my first classic was every bit as fast as my newage sti and my weekend toy a 95sti ra parked out the back is no slouch either.

 

Nope STi 300

I know where your coming from and when your driving on your own it feels fast but my bro had and STi blob eye when i had the classic and a few races put me in my place particulary once on the move he always showed me a clean set of heels and his was standard as was mine

 

Maybe the sti driver was not a *****!

 

I saw you pull onto the silk road at the Tescos roundabout and as I was coming over the roundabout Mr Silver 08 STI followed me onto silk road. I put my foot down to see what he would do but my Bugeye WRX was no match and I let him through. He was more than running it in. The Silver STI at monks Heath is a different reg I think. I had a glance at it yesterday and it seemed different.

 

My car isnt standard, it was rolling roaded at 254/240, and will suprise people cos its light! ( and i can drive it).

 

Did you read my first post?

And i hope your not suggesting i am a *****

 

Yep that car was deffo run in, couldnt see it down the silky, but up near springwood park pub he hammered it to catch me up, lights flashing and everything!

 

pmsl!

2008 SSO winner here.

 

SSO?

Whats that mean?

 

No offence, but if he wasn't in your mirrors - even a fair bit behind you, he hasn't bothering.

Classic advantage over newage is only 30bhp. BTW.
