Default Cars that wont play!

who plays and who doesn't?

I find xk8/r never want to know
tt's are usually quite shy
ferrari's very rarely show off
911's can be a bit too restrained

Thumbs down

LOL @ Tiggs:


I went out on Saturday, and must have been overtaken 4 times, in town, in the space of about 3 miles.
Each time it was someone in a scruffy looking Vauxhall of some sort, an Astra, a Cavalier and two Vectras.

I NEVER "play" in town except occasionally from one set of lights where the limit is 40...............anywhere else is a waste of time.

Call me old fashioned, (your old fashioned!!!) But I get a warm feeling knowing that at any given time, on any given road, there is very rarely anything that if I so desired, I couldn,take to the feckin cleaners!!! So I just let the other (racers) get on with it. Plus think of the satisfaction you are giving them, when they tell their mates how they "blew away a scoob today"

Wouldn't you be ? If I HAD to have a TT, it'd have very tinted windows !

They're a REAL sports car in the same way that ladies football is a REAL sport

not condoning racing in town
but on a quiet road.........
what is the point of having a performance car if you don't use the performance?
and by the way i don't drive a scooby
and very few cars are capable of "blowing me away"

Good point, I always have a play if someone else wants to - keeps me young in a childish sort of way

Oh, and I had a play with an Audi TT the other day, he pulled over when he realised he wasn't getting away from me though - respect.

from another point of view, I find the more powerful/expensive the car, the less likely they are to "play"!!

one notable exception, mclaren f1 circa 1995, A5D Milton keynes....he didnt take long to take the bait, and blew me away, 2 up on my RG500....as expected!

Ive never had any1 in a ferrari play, despite repeated buzzings!

I dunno wot it is about bikes, but ill "play" with anything on mine as would most bikers!.different mentality??!!.certainly on the 'busa you(I) do have a certain"i can blow anything away" feeling, but you dont feel the need to do it everywhere,(plus you can visibly see the tread hanging off after just a 30mile thrash.)if however it was a smaller CC bike or thrashy car, youd feel the need to rag it!

I have a Fiat Coupe Turbo, I dont play as I am generally to worried about breaking it, plus its quicker than a Scoob so whats the point.......


PS, shh, I am Scooby owner fishing, one will bite any second now, its all to do with the quality of the bait.
