172’s wanna race me WHY

[DynamiqueDick]

ALright guys i doubt it was anyone on here bbut lately a load of 172s have tried racing me why i got a 1.2 16V for gods sake i dont even "rev up" they just stare at me then floor it or tail me practically touching my bumper maybe its cause i gto lexus lights etc they think i have some kinda sport smodel who knows??

any way they beter watch out cause i need a new rear bumper due to the missus reversing into a boulder and i might just touch my brakes next time!!ha ha only joking

 

[telford_mike]

Theyre just enjoyin your tunes!

 

[RobFenn]

Im sure its the lexus lights mate, they think you think youre a bad mutha (not that im saying you think you are!!) and so have to beat you, subtle is the way to go!

 

[DynamiqueDick]

LOL at mike maybe??!!

Rob - yeah that is probably what it is, the kit im geting is very subtle.

 

[JillyB]

Maybe you just have a racey look about you!

 

[DynamiqueDick]

Jilly - maybe! it could be the driving gloves and OMP track helmet that give that impression!



LOL

 

[Cord-172]

Dont suppose your dropped 60mm on 18" Ace 197 alloys are you?

 

[DynamiqueDick]

no 60 mm on standard 15s for da mo!

 

[KDF]

maybe its cause you got a sticker on your back window saying I have 172 owners ..

 

[Adams_16v]

.....for breakfast???

 

[ClioJohn]

cars try race with me all the time, mostly cause my car is modified.

 

[KDF]

damn my spelling it was supposed to say hate... grr

To date I have raced and played with a:

Ford Focus ST170
Scoobydoo Impretza
106 something (not gti)
Couple Beemers

and thats it but I did win every race

 

[DynamiqueDick]

KDF at least you race cars that hae a chance against you!

not pony things i could beat in my car!

 

[KDF]

True, although I did race a bog standard 306 aswell on the motorway. I think it was an HDI or somthing.

There was no contest at all, I obliterated him.. funny bit was he came flying past at about 90mph 2 minutes later (after I slowed back down to 70mph) looking really chuffed with himself.

 

[Tom]

its because 1.2s are quicker than 172s

Try it

My new wheels give me 200bhp on thier own

 

[KDF]

I heard those 1.2 (1.1) can kill most cars on the road, whenever I see one I pull over and pretend my car has broken down just so I wont be put to shame

 

[RobFenn]

Same here, all i do is think of a happy thought...a bit of pixie dust and im off

see its like an urban myth

1.2s are really 220bhp monsters that renault disguise as 1.2 shoppin carts

 

[DynamiqueDick]

Hey took ya advice guys and a caned a 172 a porche a mitsi Evo 6 and a golf vr6 AT LUNCH TIME BOY WERE THEY PISSED!!!!

Well i guess us 1..2s really are the kings you should have seen me hanging onto it around the roundabout with my conti coated 15s gripping the tarmac like an asylum seeker clinging to the channel tunnel!!!

[Tom]

hehehe lol

 

[RobFenn]

and he still beat the evo..amazing

 

[SoLow]

Its one of two things:

The 172 people know we have a secret weapon (ssssshhhhhh the secret power button only found on 1.2s)



Or:



They are just being gits and showing us how slow our cars are

 

[RobFenn]

That damn button

 

[Scudetto]

I promise i will not race anyone. This is because I is a crap driver, and even if you were in a milkfloat with no motor, youd still beat me

g

 

[tumbleweed]

So far I have beat: Celica 140BHP, Almera GTI, Clio cup and pulled away from BMWs with laughable ease...they give up

But I was fair and square beaten by a RS Turbo.

 

[CUPSTAR]

THE UNFORTUNATE STATE OF LIFE...NOBODY ON HERE OF COURSE BUT PEOPLE ARE JUST PLAIN DICKS NO MATTER WHAT THEY DRIVE....YOU GOT A NEW CAR..LOOKS GOOD..LIVELY PERFORMANCE..GREAT FUEL ECONOMY..AND PAID A HELL OF ALOT LESS..MAYBE THEY ARE JEALOUS OF YOU!!!! MIGHT BE TRUE HA HA!!!!!
