People trying it on



  Fiesta Silver Limited Ed.
had a skoda VRS just pull up by the side of me on my way to uni today just hung there for ages with some spotty pikey wearing a lonsdale hoody laughing, no chance me having a go in my un point deux, but as soon as hed stopped being a t**t he zoomed off only to be overtaken by a stunning silver VEE, think thats when he stopped laughing.
 
  v6
A saxo vtr earlier with an exhaust the size of my head and right up my arse through town, out in the open country though he got left miles behind :)
 
  fabia vrs
You've got a £2000 paint job on a 1.2? :S

From all the stories on here about people bringing it, I would think i found more cars trying it on. I think in the 3 months I've had my 172 I've maybe found about 3 cars properly have a go.

Nah mate !! escort gti !! Was only bout 160 bhp but loved to rev !! :cool:

Diesel rep' boxes are the most common on the motorway.

I drive pretty quickly so someone would have to be really hooning it for me to realise they were trying it on.

  RS2'ed 172 Cup
As a rule I get no trouble in my Cup what so ever, apart from last night where a group of young guy's in a Scenic undertook me at about 90mph on a dual carrage way, went to undertake the car in front as well and almost got a tank slapper on when the car in front went to pull in to the slow lane to let them past.

They then went belting round the round about and came up along side me again where I sat at a nice steady 60mph until they got fed up.
 
Had some tw*t in a Golf GTi try it on at the traffic lights near work this morning. Left them for dead as they started creeping before the light changed to green. Don't you just love the Clio!!!!!
 
  Formally Clio 182
I had it on Saturday on the M27 with some t**t in a saxo.

He was under taking over cars and I just really couldn't be bothered as the motorway was busy.

I bet he was well pleased with himself.
 
  182 Cup
I had some t**t with his mate and baby kid in a civic 1.6 covered in pointless stickers try it on earlier. just left it for dead n thought about what a tw*t for driving like that with a wee kid in the car.

In 6 months I've had 4 cars 'bother' me

A fiesta ST wanted to take part in the traffic lights GP late at night once.
There is a sky blue (ish) escort with far too much body kit that also wanted a go in the traffic lights GP late one night.
A vectra taxi (dunno engine) wanted to tempt a race out of me on the way home from clubbing down the motorway once



But the most bizarre one was when I was coming home on an A road in rush hour. It was a 1 lane road but split into 2 lanes at the lights. I was in the left and a (new ish) Golf was in the right, we were both about 3rd in the queue. As the lights went green we started filtering into the 1 lane so I positioned myself to go into the traffic using the 1 from the left, 1 from the right system most people seemed to be doing. I happened to be in front of the gold, which is where I was 'meant' to be but he decided to race up the middle of the road, beep me, then proceed to overtake about 5 cars before pulling back in.

Properly weird considering it wasnt an open road, it was a quite a residential area actually
 
  182
I think the colour makes a big difference, my old black 172 was quite stealthy and slipped under the radar, but the bright blue cup attracts all sorts, mostly diesel rep mobiles

Also get alot of fellow 1*2's trying it on since i have a small "powered by RStuning" sticker on it, suppose i'm asking for it really :eek:

Tbh, I've never really come across this.

I've seen people who might want to try it on, but in the year I've had mine I've only had 1 idiot rev his Fiesta 1.1, 3 up at the lights.

I'm sure some on here go out looking for this type of thing or miss read the situation and think the other car wants a race.

I had a 1.2 SXi Corsa try it on on the motorway. He had just cut me off on a roundabout, so I chased him a bit and thought, why am I bothering? So I crept up on him and then let him away whilst appearing to be trying. He must have been so chuffed his 1.2 just smoked a 2.0!
 
  Titanium 182 FF
Since i got the 182 i must admit i have had a few people try it on but tbh i cannot be bothered(been there got the t-shirt etc..) so i just carry on plodding along at my own pace...hey they do call me captain slow at work!! LOL...
 
  172 CUP, Old skool Mini
Ive have quite alot of attention in the 5 months ive had my RS for e.g - a old (p plate) m3 .. spanked it, corsa 1.8 thingy.. spanked it, nova c20xe . . pretty even :( My bosses 330ci sport.. WHOOPED! and of course the various 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 shitty chav mobiles (corsas, novas, civics etc)

So he wasn't trying or your car isn't standard.
 
  LY 200
The fact he even raced an Aston says it all....... ;)

Having said that on past exp a 330ci doesnt 'woop' or get 'wooped' by a 182 even in a straight line.

And i love all the 'some t**t tried it on with me on....' comments. If you bit the bait does that not make you a t**t too?

I guess so...
 
  Clio 172 mk2
Not much but had some cnut in a mk5 golf gti overtake me in a 30 this morning nearly crashing into the side of me after getting the timing wrong and having to pull in to avoid an oncoming vehicle:mad:

Looks like the driver & passenger were 'lads' so I'm sure it made them feel special overtaking a 172 on a very narrow residential road and nearly causing an accident in the process

a**holes
 
  182
rotflmao off a the guy who thinks ha can take M3's and 330's

The BMW's i've "played" with

E46 328 - 80 to 140 mph he pulled away above 130
E92 325 - i pulled two lengths from a standing start
Z4 2.5 - won one length
Friends E46 M3 cab - s**t driver, but mauled me in 3rd once he sorted himself out
Dads CSL - embarassing really, tore chunks out of me even in first

should hope so too mate, they are slow, 15 second 1/4 mile so comparable to a 172 give or take

Nobody even hints at trying it on with my car. They must look at me and think, "Girl? Nah, won't go there"
 
Lol, this thread is so funny. So if you 'flame' a t**t' does that make you a t**t for flaming the t**t if you get what I mean.

Keep it up guys, need cheering up!

Just off out to flame a couple of Zondas.
 
  STI JDM
Hehe, been a while since I been on here and seems the type of comments that I used to read on the saxo threads are now occuring here! lol.
330i's were always fun to toy with though :rasp:

Depends what you call slow. I wouldn't call them [330Ci] slow because they are not. A Bedford Rascal is slow.

What you running, a Veyron?

a car that produces more bhp per cc of engine capacity than a veyron, does that count?!lol

254bhp 900kg mark 1 clio, good for 12.9 second 1/4 mile up to now, more to come!

I'll give you some credit but for me, straight line performance is boring. This is kinda off topic now.

lol, not highest prioroty either mate, the cars setup mainly for fast road use, it just took well to the strip. its on coilovers, poly bushes,lightweight wheels, semi slicks caged, stripped, bucket seat, poly windows, 4 pot calipers etc etc, slings itself round the twisties pretty well to boot!hehe!

Sounds bad a$$!
 
  Clio 172 RS2
None...

Unless tailgating counts to?

I guess the Clio RS is nicely understated, only a few know the punch it packs i reckon'.
