Giving it the beans?

[Damo_Sport]

Just our of curiosty, How much do you give the car the beans? *e.g 2nd all the way to 60*

 

[Aluco]

Depends on the variety and ammount of road free in front of me.

 

[Craigus]

do you mean how often?

During the week none, as there is too much rush hour traffic, on the weekend or evenings, most of the time if it is safe, that is why I have a fast car,

 

[Jamie]

On a daily basis mine will see the top end of the revs when up to temp.

 

[Damo_Sport]

only asked cause i usually give my car some stick on the way home from work

 

[DMS]

Constantly, apart from when still cold.

 

[Plummer]

Too work and back for me!

(overtaking nobs usually)

 

[CMR]

When warmed up, most of the time.

It wasnt designed to be driven below 5k so why do so?

 

[H182]

Not very often atm, as most of my journeys don't allow it to get to full temp. As soon as it does I'm on the hunt for country roads.

 

[mace¬]

I did once, it was a tad dangerous though. I like to keep it below 5k revs now. It is alot easier to control then.

 

[shandyruss]

As I live in Germany (for now) I get to go ob the bahn every day, if I want! Awesome when you just feel like a blast!!!

i dont even go that high, the vvc v-tec y0 kicks in then and every time i did that the world went blurry, and i had danger to my manifold then the floor pan fell out , FACT

 

[Aluco]

Surely the OB is boring ?

its basically a motorway right ? straight line speed doesn't intrest me

 

[H182]

^+1

 

[Russ_16v]

the OB can be fun, if you want to test the top speed legally, yes its not always safe, but it is fun going fast, i prefere track days, but i loved driving on the OB when i was last over in Germany

 

[Ste_1]

Weekends only really, but I don't give it the beans I give it death. I only like driving on roads like Colin that are empty, no paths etc, and whenever I see another car I get back on the right side of the law!. You never know when you might get a puncture etc that could pull you into another car.

 

[kevin.s]

never i stick to the limit all the time and keep it under 3k revs. now if you will excuse me i have to go fill out my staffordshire police form so i can claim my 3 points and £60 fine lol.

 

[Sean.]

friday afternoons is my day for going home spiritly! can turn a 25min commute into 15mins! the rest of the week i try to chill out!

 

[Tunst]

Cant really give a 1.2 thr beans but i do try only at night tho

 

[DrR]

mines goes above 6k everytime it's driven pretty much.

 

[Addz]

constantly when upto temp, sounds awesome over 5k so who needs a radio

 

[SC03OTT]

I used to give it the beans. But I ended up back in 1985 once so don't do it anymore.

Seriously though every day. But not all the time obviously. Usually just when screaming past some lloyd in their Corsa.

 

[jamesp24]

Always,Opposite lock out of every junction FTW .

 

[MikeLYR27]

Usually everyday tbh. So much fun, my route to work s quality as well s its so hard to resist the temptation.

 

[Subway]

My car is constantly being fed the beans.

What car you got?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

99.99% of the time when warm.

Ask Robbos ! :evil:

 

[rich-6]

When its warm and theres no tards to get in the way so mostly on a night lol

 

[Alexjfinch]

Only up to about 3k to and from work because of traffic, but when I'm in a funny mood - I'll give it some stick

 

[stuart1989]

As soon as shes upto temp i give it beans, pretty much whenever i can. I always wonder if it will do any 'serious' damage?

 

[Pinkorstink]

Feel free to call me Morgan Freeman but I cringe if I hit 4k.

 

[Russ_16v]

mines on 132k now and it gets used properly by me and its till fine, thats what they are meant for!

 

[McMillan]

Most days on the way home from work I'll rev it, not massively though, but past 5k cos it makes me smile.

Can it do long term damage?
I mean if its serviced properley and warmed up enough, surely its built for it?

 

[richy22]

Yozza system plus redline in each gear makes me smile

[v15ben]

Always at the end of those endless 50 limits on the M1.
I don't normally rag it too much living in the middle of town and all, but on country lanes why the hell not - may as well drive a Micra otherwise

 

[Chili Red]

Same.

I tried to blast down a motorway sliproad last night before the engine was warm enough and embarrassingly hit the limiter. Luckily I was only overtaking a Micra.

Must go out for a drive this weekend, I've just stuck £50's worth of V-Power in :evil:


EDIT: Just realised Micra was mentioned in the post above haha

 

[rob72]

when leaving "work" i tend to get smoke coming from the front tyres.

how long is the ab as on the way to the ring theres only a bit..

 

[gaz44]

When warmed up, most of the time.

I'm glad I'm not a passenger in your car.

I'm struggling with your below 5k comment.

 

[Greeny.]

Not that often really! But enjoy it when I do!
