A wee "race" with a Scooby
 

Classic shape WRX (I think) , massive "zorst,", gold alloys (I think) up a dual carriageway that is pretty long and steep uphill, lots of noise, no match for the stealth hearse :thumb::D

First I've had a tussle with.

Had race with a 335D saloon a couple of weeks back glued to my bumper, think he wanted JGM's details as I have sticker on the back of the car. Road opened bye bye bmw, braked so he could catch as he got level left him again :D

I eat 335d's in my transit!

Funny that Banny - but how did you know it was a 335d if it was "glued to your bumper?"

Probably a 318d... ;-)

Even so, an FQ360 is 911 Turbo territory, a couple of steps up the ladder. Bet you can't carry a dogs, surfboards, kids, etc in yours though... ;-)

James - dammit, why didn't I get a sexy bugeye wagon... :D 335d has lapped one or two tracks quicker than the current STi. Unless yours is well modded, you will not "eat" 335ds at all.

I knew I'd bring out the modded boys who claim to be able to scalp anything in an old tuned up classic...:lol1:

He was in front driving like bell end to begin with and Im pretty sure the 318D does not come come with a tail pipe on either side ;)

I was in the Impreza classic granted its running 523bhp at full boost so he didnt have much chance :D

Banny

Banny - it's very, very sad but many are adding two exhaust conversions and even "335d" badges to 330ds and below. Oh very dear. A decent BMW forum even has a section for pretend 335ds and 335is, M3s, etc - stuff I just don't "get."

However even a mapped up 335d will clearly stand no chance against a 523bhp Scoob! In fact I should think most supercars would struggle. You have that and the Evo? Blimey - dedicated loon car enthusiast! I bet you can't sleep in the back of yours though...

TBH most BMWs are driven very badly indeed. But then I've seen diabolical driving in Scoobies too.

Agreed Mattee you get knobs in all kinds of marques, none worse than male mpvs though some of them are truly :cuckoo:

I love my cars be it rice rockets, german barges or supercars :D:thumb:

Well the jap brigade are no better when it comes to making a car into something its not :rolleyes:

Banny

Saw a classic the other day - A Honda Civic (or Prelude) turned into an M3...

And I've found it too...

what a POS :lol:

I bet he gets let out of junctions.;)

Oh so you were the **** in the BMW trying to race me. I wasn't even trying, didn't go above 3000 rpm, could have left you for dust if I had so desired but I don't race on the public highway. Obviously this is not an issue for you, have an accident / kill someone while doing so and you may well end up in prison :(

Save it for the track ;)

Probably because you searched and searched but struggled to find a bugeye STI wagon? I know I did. Poor thing, I guess you had to settle for the BMW becasue they are available at every car dealer :cry: ;)

Anyway, I said Transit, as in Ford transit :norty:

The bugeye wagon is rare for a very very good reason...

:eek::lol:

Classic wagon - yes
Hawkeye wagon - yes
Bugeye wagon - no no no

I think it's really funny to see some of the BMW drivers on the road, who ride up my ass wanting to play tag every now and then. But I let them have their glory my scoob is not as fast as a 335d and I'm not really bothered... After all why would I want to stop a BMW driver from being a BMW driver! My only real bother is why none of them are ever fitted with indicators!

I went for the optional indicators - less than 1% if BMW owners specify them.

Only slightly more than the 0.5% of Audi drivers ;-)

BMW drivers are absolute Saints compared to the A3/4/5 Audi driver.

I think some MPV drivers are starting to get up there with Audis though...

Only when fully laden with their sprogs

Tell you what there is enough german engineering in my works car park to re create a whole german panzer division. Proberbly why I get the ass with them a bit because I see some of the idiots that climb into them! Hehe

Racing on public roads :nono:

Is this what really happened?

I would have got out and and knocked that bloke the f**k out punk

One of my friends picked up a nearly new 635d on Friday. Came straight round for a test...I must admit Mateeboy, these things really do shift, I was very impressed. :thumb:

Yea they are solid cars and would have most petrol heads walking with some respect after an incounter that's for sure ;-) just a bit too "run with the pack" for me. But good cars none the less.

I blitzed a 335 a few weeks back ... lowly petrol version though :lol1:

TX.

The thing is, most classic WRXs are shagged :D

I recently had a tussel with a MY97 WRX RA (if the badges were to be belived), definetely JDM, when taking my old scooby for a spin (mate who owns it broke his foot and asked me to take it for a blast). Judging by the state of the thing it had been messed with (exhaust, filter BOV etc).

Mate gave me the nod to go for it, which I did.

It was highly amusing that the other WRX RA couldn't pull away from a totally stock MY97 UK, running on 95Ron fuel :lol1: So, how does a 208bhp (ok, 240bhp ) Impreza keep up with a 280bhp WRX RA? ;) Most likely because the WRX was a knackered old heap.

My old scoob did run some mods but I retuned it to standard when I sold it so my mate could insure it, didn't seem to make that much difference TBH, its just more laggy.

It was probably one of the poverty low spec uk models.

I had a cracking race with one of the older m5`s (the 400bhp ones) in my old classic, on my route to work there is a traffic light covered roundabout, and 2 exit lanes lead onto a NSL dual carriageway that goes up a hill, its an awesome test of "might" :D

I spanked it of course, but then i was always going to, lighter car, more power, more torque.

I do sometimes miss the performance :(

I was behind a white 335d a few weeks back and was amazed at just how quick it moved from a standstill.

Most cars from sandstill seem to move slowly for the first few feet but then speed up either straight away or a little later but the 335d just seemed to go from 0-whatever instantly.

It was like instant torque. It looked a bit surreal from behind.

I would have definiately lagged (literally) behind if I had tried to keep up with it.

Oh very dear - that's why BMs have such a bad rep - what a total cock!

Sticky - might have been, might not have been but it was fun. That's the thing with Scoobs - hard to tell what's under the bonnet. Some are shagged out old battlers, some are tuned to the eyeballs and packing monster power.

MMT - cheers. It's a decent engine for sure - I genuinely enjoy (take it out for the sake of it) a diesel, automatic estate car - if someone had said that 5 years ago, I would have laughed at them.

Great to be able to post this without the usual "my Scoob can slay a Carrera GT and only cost £4" nonsense - good on you chaps!

:nono: Petrol ftw.
