so i live in a town were everybody in the car scene are tuners with either zetecs, vtecs, rb's or mazdas wankel

now dont get we wrong i like some jap cars like the rx7, fto and colt

but these guys have no respect for about 4 of us who have what i would call 80's german muscle, and one of them has got a rb26 in his e30 (what a way to ruin an e30).

they dont care that our cars out perform their tonka toys.

theirs one guy who has a stock glanza who wants to go toe to toe pink slips with a supercharged m52 e30

do any of you guys live where your beemers are not apperciated with aload of tuners thinking that their tonka toys with 110-200 bhp will burn up 250-500+ rwd monsters

i mean im not intrested in racing. i just want a bit of respect for the god knows how many hours iv put into car.

finally the old saying any one can buy a fast car not everyone can build a fast car

Did you put the hours in to try and impress other people?

That's not how life works.

Here in lies the problem, you are spending too much of your time hanging about with what can only be described as children in an adults body.

Most self respecting adults don't give two hoots what people think of there car, never mind looking for their respect or acceptance of it.

Modifying a car is to your personal preference, once mans shite is another mans gold.

I effing love people like you. In the bike world the bigbore bike riders must be in front then they find out they can't actually ride at the pace that they insisted on leading at.
If you want to race do it for the crack of it.
If not
I suggest you stick to playing toptrumps.

Many years ago I "raced" Nissan 350z after he overtook me in a dangerous place, kind of annoyed me so I thought i'd annoy him by tailgating him. Bad show and dangerous I know but some times you just have to show someone who is boss, kept it up for several miles down twisty roads and the fecker couldn't lose me.
I should at this juncture point out I was in the Tranist and the 350z driver had balls the size of petit pois and a fondness for the brake pedal on anything that remoteley looked like a bend.
Made me feel big and tough :D
Didn't want his pinks though, didn't fancy owning a car refered to as a Fairlady :D
