Default Tossers in Saxo's

Took a little drive to Barry this evening and couldn't believe how many times some grow bags tried to race me! I understand we all thought we were the next Lewis Hamilton at some point but is there really a need to drive up my **** in your tin-pot Saxo's!

I know what you mean, I just let them pass if they want to but it is tempting to put your foot down just as they think they've 'had' you.

It wasn't a Toyota shoebox was it, sorry I meant Starlet EP91.

Thats the problem, there was a time that if you owned a scooby or an evo you were the dogs danglies on the old power front, however, there is a definate increase of Astra's, Saxo's, Fiesta's,Corsa's etc out there with a silly amount of bhp that will blow away almost anything on the road.

Its gonna happen to us all at some point, god knows its happend to me already and that is when I was driving my evo.

You mean a shoebox like this







My old 348bhp @ 1.4 bar shoe box I used to get people trying to race me all the time up my **** acting like dick's you get used to it. Again just slow down to a silly speed it usually pisses them off

Still can't figure out how to use the quotation function Jarvis, must be too complicated for an Evo owner...

Come on when are we going to see this rusty old Evo then.

Got any bits left from the starlet? Looks like you spent a pretty penny on it mate with a cracking spec. Nice car. What was it like to drive with all that power?

It's all been sold now mate, getting the power down was okay in the dry, I had a cusco type MZ diff and a whole host of handling goodies. I used a 5e-fe block so it was technically 1.5litres to help with the lag on the GT30 plus some major head work too.

I nearly bought an Evo 8 just after I bought my Hawkeye WRX, it came in the day I was picking up the Impreza. I nearly cancelled the Impreza and would have had the Evo 8 instead.

But if I had then I wouldn't got to know you fine bunch...
