I kicked his fcuking ass, either that or he lost his bottle !!!!!!!!!!!!
I just got so peeed off with him up my ass 8O down the lanes i thought i 'd let him pass me on the dual carriage way.
He burnt passed me and pulled in and accelearated hmmmmmmm i saw his 323 badge and thought i can have him............so i accelerated too, 110mph saw me overtake him in 4th gear, i changed to 5th as i overtook him and every fcker infront of me, he gave up.
Did i feel guilty.......................Yesssssss !!! i felt so sorry for giving my baby so much stick :cry: :cry: but i just get so p*ssed off sometimes and intimidated by flash tw@ts who think that there car is somehow quicker than mine just because its newer !!!!!!!!!!
Vauxhalls are the bloody worst, especially the "Vectra clitoris" (every cnuts got one), ive only got to be infront of one and thats it.paranoia sets its.
Too much "E" in the 80's and 90's me thinks. :mad:
I get this sh*t every day, i honestly think it'll be the end of me.
Like when i think someone is too close, i'll knock it down from 5th to 3rd and and extend my difference by at least 400mtrs, then the tw@t behind me races up to catch me and then sits 2 feet behind me again.
It was just this morning some cnut in a mk3 escort was so close he could suck on my DTM's, i raced off ahead of him to a comfortable lead, next thing you know hes right up my ass again, we approach a round about(normally i go straight on) but this time i go completely around it and let him go ahead whilst i go around it and end up following him !!!!
MY TURN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I get so close behind him, banging my steering wheel(in pretend anger) just to freak him out, shouting and cursing and giving him the W'nker signs, flashing ect..........I pretended to tottaly lose it, he pulled over in a lay by and i carried on to work cool as a cucu,umber.
I know one of these days i'm gunna come a Roy (cropper) but fcuk it i say.

I usually cant be bothered to engage in silly buggers with other fools, if they want to tailgate its their buisness.

BUT!


BUT!!!!

If they so much as dare overtake i'll drop a gear and show them why you dont mess with a dirty old E30. Should have a go if the roads clear and your down some lanes, some of my best drives have been chasing/persuing someone down some twisties.

:lol: Nice One

I know the feeling, people(especially vectra drivers, only saying that as I got cut up by some w@nker, this morning on the way to work) think that coz you have a old G reg motor, that it's old and must be sh1te.....But I just say fcuk the lot of them, coz they just ain't got a scooby bout the E30......Funnily enough though some of the drivers of newer BMW's can be just as bad, as they have a new BM, but fail to acknowledge any other cars on the road, even big bro's like the E30.........Jumped up little rich kids....!!

i have a simple rule..... never race a car i know i can beat... if i think they are faster eg porsche/scooby or bout equal ill have a go EVERY time....

i particularly like showing them my arse around roundabouts..... they get very scared and really back off.....

i'll race any BMW though even if its slower.....

Yeah, but it's a no win situation cos I hate it when people flash their brake lights at me :x

If they have to flash their brake lights it's only cos I'm getting close cos they won't get out of my fcuking way! Only really talking about on mways here, but I had an MX-5 pile of :wan: in front of me on the A1 recently and every time he went past a lorry he didn't pull in even though the slow lane was empty. Then on the 3 lane up hill bits he was pulling in to the 3 rd lane and only doin 2mph more than the people in the 2nd lane :evil: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
He did this twice tooo.
HE was flashing his brake lights at ME too, but only after I had been following him for 20 mins and decided to get really close and scare him, I don't normally mind it's just the road was almost totally clear. It's one of the few time I have undertaken someone, cos it pisses me off when the corsa boys do that too, and I was fcukin fum'in.

What really pisses me off is when guys in newer BM's act all surprised when you overtake them. Acting in surprise that you can over take them/surprise that you want too even though you have been glued to his tail for 5 miles.

:x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Rant over, thanks for letting me vent my frustration on you :D

I used to be a Vauxhall driver in my GSI Astra and I hated dickheads like this as well.
Now Im a BMW driver Ive noticed even other BMW drivers wont let me out of junctions etc lol. Gits.

The great thing about old cars though is surprising newer car owners. Its great when you fly past them like they are in reverse. :D

My mate bought a E46 323i, we had a race off the lights there was nothing in it (if anything i was slightly infront) until 5th gear and where mine tops out at around 130 the SOB pulled about two car lengths on me by the end of the road, very frustrating!! :x But his car is actually 2.5 and he has something like 172bhp, but im thinking its down to my car having done alot more miles than his, around 160K more :wink: so thats what im sticking to :lol:

Oh dear that means my car isnt that fast then? Nevermind ive been thinking of a transplant for a while now this means im definitely going to do it now. It has covered 210K so i didnt even think i would be anywhere near it, as engine size and BHP was near enough the same.

Is it me? before I bought mine I always to think the e30 looked mean and nasty as it loomed in my rear view...

Now I have one,mway driving always sees my lights and front fogs on I generally don't get too many arguments, I'll hold between 90 and a ton in the outside, anyone in front seems to just pull over a the earliest opportunity :D

I always thought it was illegal to drive with fog lights if it wasn't foggy/sprayey. Can anyone confirm this?
