People trying it on



Just wondering how much bother everyone gets from other motorists in their 172's? I've had a lot of Focuses, Polo Gti's old and new and 106's etc been trying it on lately, usually when I'm just driving home normally minding my own business !

One of those 1.8 Corsa tried it on round a roundabout yesterday, he dissappeared from my rear mirrors, didn't make it past the roundabout, he ended up in a ditch...

Never really had many problems with people trying it on when I'm in the 172

Used to get lots of s**t when I had my Impreza and some persistent f**kers had to be swifly dealt with lol

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.

when i had my astra G 2.2 never really had any1 try it on but as soon as i got the 172 every sales rep in the land in there 1.8 Vetra/mondeo/focus/asta wanted a go.

they just see "small car" and think they may just be able to "have it!"

i put them right

I think it's more fun letting the twits who have pi$$y cars pass you. They then think they have an awesome car and start bragging that they took a 182 etc to their mates and forums. It's comedy.

I had a Corsa SXi try it on on a dual carriageway. I let him pass me but made it look like I was trying. I could see his delight that his 70bhp car just nailed a 170bhp car.
 
  b/g 182, meg tourer
yep, i get that too.
quite a few. especially because i have de-badged the rear. they think its just trying to be a 182. somtimes play but sometimes just let them have the satisfaction.

Exactly, they still know deep down that they can be owned and probably will be by the sport they try it with.

^^^ i try to just let them go past, but just as they are side by side i drop down a grear and put my foot down, i just cant help it:eek:

but yep some crap car tryin it on, but also some fast cars want to play which is nice! like an old 911 and even a R1 (bike) he stoped to wait for me then as a went past he set off, just got to the bend ahead:eek: then pulled away (even if it was only for a second) then we had a "fun" drive for a bit, till he got bored and left me for dead:eek:

I don't really have too much bother. I think when they realise I'm a girl they don't bother!

I get lots of people having ago at my Replica, shame its got a 1.2 under the bonnet so i just wave them on and act as if i was never trying ;)
 
  lift number 1 @ btm
i normally find it is only when i drive quietly that people have a go, when i'm pushing on no one seems to bother. my mate has had my car for two weeks while i was on holiday, and passed the comment of how much more people come to have a go at mine compared to his vee!??
 
  182
Don't get many other cars trying it on, just have fun with other clios when I see them about.
 
  Clio MK 4
Thing is with me because i just got a clio 172 i'm not sure what cars would piss on me or wouldn't. Like 106 gti's / golf gti's type rs etc
 
  C-VXR, T8 Map 220BHP
new GTI will beat you. old GTI you should not have my prob with unless its a 52plate(ish) when i think the 1.8T went up to 180bhp from 150bhp. type R is really down to the driver. (as with most of the above really) 106GTI should have no prob with but VTS/GTI 's are quick on the lower MPH area its only at abou 40 they run out of puff comp to the 1*2 IMO

ive never had anyone try yet apart from a guy behind me in leicester in a 106 gti, obviously it was a busy main road so he couldnt over take if he tried but he kept up pretty damn well!
 
  Octavia VRS
Last one that tried it on with the CTR was a guy in an Astra Diesel lol. I let him have his moment
 
  Mini Cooper S sport
I hardly ever get people trying it on, very boring! Last one I remember was a Golf on a motorway sliproad AGES ago, he was most pissed off at being beaten by a girl :)

I'm still waiting for the token VTR tbh :evil:. Other than that it seems to have the opposite effect.
 
  '03 172, now a 2004 CTR
I had some tool in a shi**y old 3 series diesel try it on this morning, normally i just let them pass but i just couldnt let this one go

Yea BMW/Audi drivers, I did have and im sorry to say it normally overtake a 1.2 clio 54 plate the other day and he didnt like it so then over took me saying look at me i can blow 172s away the chav t**t. In wish case i blew him away at the next set of lights.
 
  Astra SRi T
i love these kind of threads.

cant say ive had many people trying to take on the power of iccle clio 1.2 recently:rasp::eek:
 
  Clio 182
happens quite a bit - half the time I can't be bothered proving a point though :p

the best ones are people who dont know what a 182 is, and assume its had its exhausts stuck on, i like shocking them :) (if i'm bored)
 
I'd rather pull up and slap the s**t out of you
mano to mano thats the real deal
forget all that kiddy my car is faster then yours b****cks.
Next time u see someone revving up next to the lights
get out ur car tap there window wack them on the end of the Jaw
boot the car for goodluck and offski before old bill arrive
i win lol

I piss all over Golf Gti's,106's all the shitty little chav moblies
 
  evo VI GSR
i had a fiesta st have a go at me 2nite i laughed when he got along side me then i waved goodbye what was he thinkin!!!
 
  ITB BG 182
Dont get me wrong i love my clio 182 to bits with how it looks when its clean or dirty but also how it handles etc etc.
BUT im fed up with every tom dick and harry wanting to shag my rear end when im merly out an about just driving minding my own, People at my work place are terrible with lexus ls250's to escorts an from small bmws to the kid with a vts who claims he has 265 bhp yet ive paced them all down the road an they not been able to pass me the first time so i dont bother any more after that.
