Street racing
Morning all,
I've owned my Blobeye for 4 months now. It's my first scooby and it certainly won't be the last.
Like most on here, I like to put my foot down every now and then.
Whilst at the lights, we all like to have a bit of fun (nothing too dangerous I'm sure). I have all types of cars that try it on at the lights, but I've pulled up next to a few scoobies and they just pull off gently.
Is there an unwritten rule that we don't have a bit of fun off the lights with a fellow scooby owner?
I'm not for one second suggesting that anyone should race around like a nutter all the time. But at some lights on A road, middle of the night etc is a bit different.
Let me know you thoughts. Thanks

Try it, you'll love it, would even go as far as saying it's better than anti-slag, love the launch in the type r, when the diff's rolled back, spins for a few second's then breaks your neck when it gets traction!

There are better drivers than some of these people who have lost there (and others) lives racing of public roads, it's not big and it's not cool, if people want to take them self's and there cars to the limit there are plenty of trackdays too choose from TBH

I remember years ago there was a member here who allegedly had a bit of a play on the motorway with a guy on a motorbike.
The guy on the bike came off and died, and the Scoobynet member got 5 years inside (from memory)
Not worth taking the chance.

why exactly would the driver of the car get jailed, if he had no direct influence on the way the motorbike was being driven? surely you are responsible for your own decisions and the way you drive your vehicle, and you can't shift the blame onto a person who wasn't in control of it?
could I drive down the road, get distracted by a woman in a very short skirt, stuff my car into a lamp post looking, then blame her for my whiplash?
i'm not trying to cause an argument, just can't see the logic?
