He must have thought them jap style stickers would have given him the advantage.

do you? i dont!! (must be my torque)

I remember when i first got mine and i was the on A2 following a 4 up one and it left me pretty easily. Since then ive met about 5 other drivers up for a duel and i can only just stick with them in a straightline. Now i just pretend im too cool to race

Had a little tiff with a Rover 25 last night. No idea on the engine size. He was being a slow dick in front of me, so as soon as we got to the round about I thought I would get in the outside lane and over take him on or after the round about. So I am comming up the outside lane ready to go straight on. Just before I got level with him he swerves into my lane with no indication. Luckily I was already breaking for the round about so I just put a bit more pressure on. So we now hit the round about and it appears we are both going straight on. He seemed to be purposly going slow because he pulled out of the left hand lane and they were now over taking us. Once we got off the round about I changed down into 2nd (didnt have much choice we were going that slow) and acclerated past him on the inside lane (i know i did wrong officer) I got upto 70 and just sat there. Then he comes flying up on the outside lane and parks himself right infront me. He then starts slowing down, so I overtake and I thought I would leave it at 80 for a bit. He followed (all be it rather far behind) then he got right up my bum. So I went into the left hand lane and started slowing down for the next round about (I was also about to be turning off into a 30 zone) So he sits behind me then acclerates really hard and passes me then dives right infront of me AND had the cheek to flag me! We both went the same way then, but he does what the usual crap drivers do and does about 40 in a 30 zone.

Corsas are fair game for the 1.2 16v. Quite enjoyed murdering a 1.2 sri the other day. Quite amazed how much I was able to win by. Only problem is those pesky 1.4 16V ones are! current tally is 12 to them and 8 to me!

 

[Adams_16v]

it wasnt a 1.2 it was 1.6 gsi old style!

 

[klmillard]

GSIs aint that bad.

My bird has got one and although i aint driven it and she wont push it it does feel resonably fast.

Supposed to do 0-60 in 8.3s so definatly aint slow!!

 

[klmillard]

saying that though hers is a late one with the decent 1.6 Echotec engine!

 

[Adams_16v]

they not too bad actually, i had a race with my mate who hada modded one when i first got the car. no match for the valver though! and it felt fairly quick when i was a passenger!
