On my bike this Saturday around bluewater and saw a white Evo 6 right up a silver civic type R’s behind…… all well within the speed limit. A couple of roundabouts later and this Evo had gone horrifically backwards (and a bit sideways) and the Honda pulled away. What I saw next defies belief. The Honda got caught behind a white van and the Evo decides to fly past the Honda and van. Unfortunately the idiot Evo driver didn’t realise that the road was about to run out………….screeching and smoke from all 4 tyres later and coming to a complete standstill and white van man was giving him some abuse.

Do people really need to beat somebody this badly?!

Well if it was a proper EVO and not a Nev'd up standard Lancia then the driver should be ashamed way before the breaking incident. should wipe the floor with a civic type r. probaly borrwed of his dad for a bit of a sneeky drive, didnt know what he was doing!

I've seen him before Wez he wasn't young, nearer mid-life crisis !

True mate. But if the type r had a JRS fitted it would have given the evo a run for it's money! They come out at about 250bhp, and only weigh 1204kg.

Now I would like go in one of them! I coudn't have a type R or any of the Rev-o-matic hot hatches owing to the lack of torque, but a supercharger conversion would sort that. I would have thought the EVO should beat it comfortably in the bends though, the Type R is a FWD afterall and should understeer quite e bit before the Evo will let go....assuming good tyres on the Evo of course - oh,m and a driver who has a vague idea of how to drive it!

Bluewater is certainly not the place for those kind of antics though.

Yeh I know what you mean mate!! I've just sold my CTR, After the evo it was soooooooo slow and soooooooooo noisy!!! Crackin engine and box though. Quite a tidy handler as well. Gone down the grandad road now bought a 330i se, all the toys and non of the noise!!

This is a common misconception, the CTR just does not understeer at all and if he's bothered get a scharger on it then i wouldn't be surprised if he's done something to the suspension

I would say you have moved away from the grandad route. The average age of honda drivers is about 60
