He he, what fun we had last night.

Was pootling though the town I live in heading towards the dual carriageway last night when some mental Saxo with a lard arsed and grumpy looking driver pulls out behind me and proceeds to sit 2 inches off my back bumper.

Now anyone who's ever been stuck in one of my traffic jams will know that I'm an annoying bastard who sticks rigidly to the speed limit so people are forever driving up my arse as they seem to think that the laws of physics and the 30mph speed limit don't apply to them.

Anyhoo, I think to myself it might be a laugh to lead this guy onto the sliproad of the dual carriage way, leave it in 2nd, wait untill he pulls out and then leave him and his twat mobile for dead :)

All's going to plan, he does one of those aggressive pull out type manuvres and I drop the hammer and of course start to pull away. Haven't really done this in the soaking wet before so I'm not all that sure what's gonna happen, but inevitably the turbos spool up lighting up both rears and sling the car sideways down the slip road :D

Anyway, the happy ending to this long and ultimately pointless story is that grumpy guts in the Saxo looked even more grumpy when he finally caught up and I had a biiiiig smile on my face after riding out a nice slip road drift :D

Wouldn't swap rear wheel drive for the world!

i have only ever whitnessed one tactfully modded citroen , it was subtle, everything was made to look standard , oh and had a super charged engine under the bonnet! thing was designed for the track and it certainly showed! but 99.9% of modded saxos are just rediculous! oh and

Last week giving the 318Is a run out went past a junction and Saxo man c/w with chavvy baseball cap is waiting to pull out, noticed he looked the E30 up and down 1/4 mile later super saxo is sat right on my bumper so i just carried on as normal.

Went past a large junction on the right and seconds later heard a bang looked in the mirror there was said saxo with its bonnet bent over its roof after twatting some poor fucker minding their own buisness driving past said junction.
Not big and not clever but it sure made me grin. :D

it's just so much fun shitting on shitroen paxos!!! :D

i must get round to fitting the new tailgate to my tourer as it has a 316i badge on it, at the moment they think they've been beaten by a 325i... not so!

sleepers are soooo cool!

thinking about it, i saw a bit of streetracery going on a while ago, a chap in a saxo 16v trying to get past a fiat 500 arbath and failing dismally!!!! looked so funny! :cool:
