fiesta st quick??

[Knuckles]

f**k knows.

All I know is that I haven't had a car catch me yet and I've boogies with WRX STI's, EVO's, RS focus' etc

the guy I mentioned above told me about his old commute in which he'd see an evo in the distance of his rear view. Every couple of months it'd get a little bit closer, probably down to mods until he opened up the tap on the bike a bit and left the evo lol.

Play with the westie

But then it's nearly a bike anyway.

 

[Gouldy]

LOL!

Brilliant

A bike with 4 wheels...?

I've never had a play with anything like that tbh.

If it will do 0-100 in under 9.9 seconds, then it'll beat my bike.

 

[Scrooge]

I love bikes, serious thrill, awesome noise. I just don't trust myself on one and they aren't practical enough for my needs. Nothing has ever got my adrenaline pumping like being on a bike, especially as a pillion.

So many bikers are just rubbish and rely on the straight line speed. I was one of those which is why I don't ride anymore. Had a few near misses trying to be a better rider and got pissed off with the prospect of getting it wrong leading to junked bike or a hospital visit. Just so unforgiving. I have too much to lose these days. Also got fed up with the number of people that would pull out from side turnings having not seen me. Used to wear a huge high vis coat to work and some bloke still did a Smidsy. How!?

Non-Clio owners and bikers should be banned.

That is one thing I don't understand about bikers. In cars you get used to the power you have, no matter what, after a while. Surely it is the same for bikers? Therefore once they get the fastest bike to aid their insanity, surely it gets boring after a while? There is only so many times it can be exciting going full throttle? Or am I missing something as I have only ever seen a few bikers who can go quickly around corners.

 

[warwickstingray]

Asking the wrong biker. As I said i was rubbish. Bikes are hard to ride fast not that I'm any good in a car on the scale of things mind you. Being able to ride a bike properly is something I can see being highly addictive. TT on board footage is just insane. You just can't think that fast it's all honed skill and I'm convinced you just believe it's just not your day to die.

 

[Scrooge]

Lol!

Have you got a new rod Roy?

 

[LiamR172]

I forgot to say when I was here earlier that my workmate told me today that his standard ST 150 would 'ruin' my 172 when I told him his car was slow

Bloody Ford owners.

 

[Munson]

Rod?

 

[Scrooge]

Fishing.

 

[chris_p]

Rod?

My name's Rod and I like to party.


My brother has a fezza ST, it's alright but the clios are better to drive, much more driver focused but to the average Joe they're very similar. The clios are faster too, significantly so.
The Ford is screwed together better (still cheap materials) and has a better box.

 

[Munson]

Fishing.

Ah I see. No. Same one.

 

[Gally]

You hate everything Roy!!!

 

[Munson]

You hate everything Roy!!!

Stop hating me. Why don't you go post on a Ford forum?

 

[Jaff.]

Stop hating me. Why don't you go post on a Ford forum?

because he doesnt own a clio...

or a bike!

 

[Gally]

Bloody BMW owners. Worse than those Ford c***s!

 

[Mr Burns]

I like bikes, ones with pedals and stuntpegs.

 

[Willo40]

I beat a Fiesta ST last Sunday, caught him and passed him in my 182 without much fuss, altho I didn't have a lot left, I have just sold my bike that weighed about 200kg and had 160bhp to buy the Clio, the bike would see almost anything off apart from some other bikes, but I have to say, I don't really miss it at the moment, I love the Clio, and I can use a a lot more of what its got on a day to day basis... Clio is an awesome little bit of kit.....

Fiesta wasn't trying

Awesome vid, especially seen as that S1000RR looks almost standard, there is another vid of him going away from I think an R8 on the back wheel.... , for ultimate fastness you will never beat a bike, unless you spend ALOT of money....

You need to be getting something like the onene or a highly modified vehicle to be passing one of those. The UGR kits are mental.

The one with the atom and the ds3 rally car was also very good

Yeah good vid, I've posted it a few times. Unreal difference!

 

[banther]

God damn non Clio owners. Coming over here, takin' our post counts!

I lolled.

Here's one that highlights that bikes have their weak points...as has already been stated above, in a straightline they're almost invincible.

Throw braking, corners, and crests into the mix though, along with some dodgy road surfaces, and they're most definitely not.

[imprezaworks]

On track, yeah i would agree, comes down to liveabilty for the bike rider. But on a normal bit of fun ocaasion the bike would trounce a car.

LOL!

The video you posted proves quite opposite. Bikes are far superior. Just look at the video you posted. The biker is just messing about pulling wheelies and stuff. The car's proper going for it!

I would 100% agree, you come up against a decent car on the twisties, and you will struggle on a bike unless you are very very good, or willing to take a chance......

That vid doesn't tell the true story, track is so much different, on the road on a bike you can't push in like a car, anything could be on road, unless to are talking about the I.O.M TT........

Was he doing that in the corners and when on the brakes? What was the car doing relative to him at that time? Falling back further or closing up?

 

[imprezaworks]

I disagree and dont even own a bike

 

[Munson]

Mark's point is clear, and also accurate. Unless you're Barry Sheen, you're going to have to be far more committed in corners to keep up with a well piloted car. Again...if you're stupid enough to be racing in the first place.

 

[Willo40]

Having owned quite a few "quick bikes" I can assure you, if you come across a decent driver in a decent car, your looking for straights or traffic to get away, it doesn't happen in the corners, all within the speed limit of course....
