Am I getting too old

Last night in Edinburgh, I was in the garage and It was full, and I mean full of Citreon Saxo VTRs, and old stlye MR2s - my point though is:

Why do these guys have to sit in the full garage revving their engines loud as f**k and then wheel spinning them out the garage - and I mean wheelspinning them - do they reckon it makes people think - wow that car is so fast and they are cool or - in reality - people think look at those tits. Eitherway I did find it hard to keep a straight face, but I did take great pleasure in driving very slowly out of the garage so as to not give us clio lads a bad name !

I dont mind going to the odd cruise, provided I know there is gonna be a decent number of cars to have a look at.

Dont understand the little chavs who sit in petrol stations though. All seems a bit gay to me.

And wheelspinning your car makes you look like a prick coz as you say doesnt mean its fast.

Best burnout I saw was the 1.1 Saxo chav who pulled his handbrake on, revved and lifted the clutch pedal. Wheels didnt move but lots of smoke. One new clutch for him then ha ha ha!! Nob

always seems to me a bit pointless ripping your tyres up everytime you pull away as you see a lot of chavs do....and more often than not its a crap car anyway so all they are doing is drawing attention to themselves!!

at a cruise id half understand but these lads do it everywhere round here, its like "hey look at my great clutch control as i dump 1.1 nova power to the road and then revs the tits off it!"

each to their own though. there nothing wrong wth maturing its when you get the pipe and slippers out and buy a volvo thats bad.. even if its an uber 4x4 300bhp volvo = caravan pulling oldies.

Cruises about here are usually boring as f**k, sh*te weather, sh*te cars and little neds. Id rather meet up with like minded adults from here in carparks...;)

escobar - thumbs up m8. I fully agree with what youre saying. I got to the big 30 last December and upon seeing tools like these (why do they pick petrol stations???!) it makes me smirk as well.

Weve all done chavtastic moments in our driving - purposely letting go a full pressure load out through a DV26 dump-valve etc, but to sit still and rev the knackers off your car is just....., well....... stupid. Isnt it?

Ive never "got" the whole cruise thing, not really a fan of the southend thing and its right on my doorstep, cant see the enjoyment in sitting in your car for hours on end.

Nah, youre not too old. I dont get the whole cruise thing either - and Im not that old!!! (26)

I had reservations about first attending a cliosport meet, but went anyway and was surprised by the number of sensible folk who attended (well, the majority ;)). There was no revving, not much wheelspin, and only one handbrake turn (you know who you are!).

What I dont get is the lot that hang out in Tesco car park in Falkirk most nights of the week. You can hardly step out your car without getting mown down by some little sh*t in a corsa. The management of the retail park put down about a hundred speed bumps but all that happens now is they race between them: full throttle / stamp on the brakes / full throttle and repeat. Grrrrrr!!!!

I hate these people with a passion! If you are getting too old then I must be well past it (20). Everytime I see a saxo do this (and 99.9% of the forementioned are saxo drivers.....especially VTRs), it just makes me hang my head. I couldnt think of anything else that would make them look bigger pricks! I love nothing more than lining up against one at pod and anihilating them properly. At least at pod they wont try some rediculously suicidal overtaking manouver to try and put them back infront of you again............wouldnt put them past it though

I think all these punks must have been going to a cruise. However, either 1) i am guilty of being too old (29) or 2) iam guilty as sin for being a snob - if (2)is what i am accused of - then thanks, im proud have the book thrown at me for being a snobby clio/volvo driver, all I can say is: guilty as charged

:D

sadly one thing to remember is the fact that clios are just as popular as saxos, give it a short while, they will have the same reputation

Nice cars them...

I couldnt agree more with this thread (34).

Surely it would be far, far cheaper for them to spend the money saved from not wheel-spinning everywhere on a tatoo that says "Notice me...PLEASE" right across their forehead.

It would achieve the same thing...95% of people would just point and laugh.

Im sorry people, but Im sure theres something in the owners manual for a VTR that says something like...

"When in situ at a petrol filling station forecourt you must rev your engine and wheel spin to confirm to other motorists that you are indeed a nob"

;)

Dont need to rev to draw attention,not enough power to break traction and cant afford forkin out for 215 and 225 pirellis every 2 months even if i did!Around my way old astras and cavaliers are wheelspin kings.

generalised statements like this are what piss me off about this place

the clio is no better than the saxo, its just as popular (if not more now) just as cheap and there are loads of modifications out there for them

there are quite a few of us on here who have owned vtrs before the clios, for £2k i had a mint 99t vtr (well after id rpaired it) back in 2000, loved the car, nadling was excellent, just required more poke, vts woulod have been a perfect example

just become some chav decides he want to rev his engine in the car park/forecourt doesnt mean we all done it that way :mad:

comprende?

Its the type of person / car combo that makes for a "nob" identification...

For example, if you saw a Zonda (the car, not the guy on here ;)) pulling out a little too quick is gonna sound good and look pretty sweet...

On the whole though, I would most certainly class these people as complete c***s! lol

MY sentiments entirely MIKETHEMAN2K, if people want to try and drive like that in their "car" (best not say the make) then they should really think what its achieving - the word that begins with N. If statement like this to annoy then may be its best to think big and say little for all parties - which defeats the whole object of having a forum really. No offence was intended Bryan, but next time your out and about on a nice casual drive somewhere, just have a look about for a N. Since I have had the Scooby STi8 I get every N person in the world at the lights reving their engine, wheel spinning away and trying to prove something - What is that something? Their Nob size. I bought a STi8 and a Clio 172 for one thing only - I like cars and I like track days. Both of these cars are brilliant on the track - thats where I drive and act like a nob - not on the public highway.
