either im getting old or i am a mature young man! haha both sound like bull**** to me! earlier a 1.1 saxo came right up my **** while i was driving in a 50 zone! he then overtook and had 2 little girlies looking back at me! also with the badboy lexus lights! i just laughed and didnt even entertain him........but then i felt old and boring! there was a time where i would have chased/raced him but now i just cant be ****d! anyone else the same?

yes! I just let them pass now and feel safe in the knowledge that if i wanted to, i could wiggle my right toe and blow their puny 1.0 into the weeds, leaving their chav car sluts wanting a piece of some older boy GTi action lol

There was a time when i would have chased them though, damn it, im only 22!

I know how you mean, I can't be bothered to chase some little mug as he'll probably do something unexpected and dangerous and I cannot be done with having my car pranged through their stupidity! I'll only play when its people who I know can drive and on our own terms, like through rural roads, not town or somewhere where it might be a bit sketchy. Don't want to be caught out and get any points either!

Chavs are usually too busy looking at my spoiler to overtake me. Although I do still get the odd ned (90% of the time in a saxo) who tries to overtake me going from a 30 to a 60 zone, clearly their 1.1 westcoast can out accelerate a 240bhp jap rally car... lol

its the chavy girls that make me laugh the most! its the way they look back as if to say haha look how good my 17 year old chav boyfriend is! also waving a fag or a bottle of alcopop coz now they are well cool in a well fast 1.1 saxo! i was with my missus when i passed my test so never went thru the pickin up lil tarts stage! maybe i should go see what i missed.....not!

i have a problem with other corsa drivers, this kid who has only been driving for 3 weeks was blabbing to my gf that he would beat me in reverse and that he is a 'driver' etc, claiming he had a 2.0 16v, so i said, lets have a look then, then he panicked and admited what it is, 1.2 8v, thinking mine was a 1.4, i took him to a dual carridgeway and left him way behind, then i told him its a 1.6 that has had a grand spent on it!

muppet!

another time, some kid in a black corsa was near enough scraping my bumper, trying to be good with his chembo gf in the car, i just put my foot down in 3rd, by the time he approached the island, i was already round the other side coming back the other way!

lol, c u n t o!

I just get a lot of funny looks in the saloon full stop, oh and people laughing at me. :thumb: But i never ever get chavs trying to race me. Even a Golf GTi was a little unsure of trying it on last night. I let him go as i wanted his reg number so followed him for a little bit.

I think its because when you know you can blitz someone if you want to, you dont feel the need to. When i had my 1L mini i used to drive that like a knob because i thought i had summat to prove, and it was like that through nearly all of my cars till i got my 205 GTi then i realised it was pointless racing people that i knew i could beat ( i also realised how much of a ****er i must of looked as well! )

I used to race stuff or tease it tbh. I think your ego finds it harder to let things go when ure young. One thing I never did was harass cars that will blatantly waste me though. There are deluded people that beleive they have a 1 off high powered 1.2 that beats Clio 16vs but the harsh reality is, all Novas under 1400 are slow.

But when you do have a properly fast bit of kit, the novelty soon wears off & I found that it is simply not worth wasting the fuel on any p ricks that want to try it on. I found this when I had the turbo, another Nova (a 1.2 with 4 passengers) raced me away from 4 sets of traffic lights in a row. After completely annhialating it numerous times to the joy of the passengers I realised I had an audience & slotted back in behind him just to pressurise him into turning off from infront of me.

Racing every Tom dick & harry is childs play.

I was in my mates Lotus exige the other month when some chavs in a rover nailed it past us on a dual carrige way. Lol a K Regd rover 214 5 door completely standard apart from some 5" jap ghey exhaust.
Also had some chav in a crashed-into-hellfrauds-type clio trying to race me off the lights in the missus SR, couldnt see him by the time I got into third lol

when i had my old valver some guy in a rover tried to take me on down a dual carriage way - i was trying to overtake a lorry and he kept accelrating to stop me pulling out, cue dropping down to 3rd, foot down and popping out infront of him, went passed the lorry let the rover catch up then booted it again, i came off at the next junction and he pulled up next to me giving it some

"thats well quick bruv, yous got som seriouuuus power, whats innit, innit"

i just told him to **** off and wheelspun off - not big, not clever but satisfying lol

I think my SR is a chav magnet, get em all the time! even with my Ls on.

one stupid thing i do remember doing tho is asking my mate from work to sit with me when i was learning......but because i have always driven and done a bit of mini racing i knew how to handle the car! so there was me going down the wendover bypass with speedo readin 115! fastest learner ever!lol i know its not big and clever but i have grown up now! and im only 19!

draper
27-09-06, 12:28 PM
another stupid thing i did was thought my nova handled like a race car after id had my lowering springs fitted

got them fitted at just novas in the morning - evening time was showing off to my mate down a country lane when we plowed straight on at a corner - straight through a fence, down a ditch and into a tree !!

I never race on the roads, but I swear that people have been racing me and I haven't noticed. Its the way that they come screaming up behind you after you have just pulled away from some traffic lights and accelerated to the speed limit. This is in the 306 because the Nova isn't on the road at the mo.

Also going to the cinema the other night in the 307SW(an estate and a diesel). I had a civic that looked like a type R (but just couldn't have been one) trying to pass me off of a round-a-bout. He got along side and couldn't pull past. To be fair I was going a bit faster than usuall but had to back off to let him past so that I could overtake a slower car. He then drove like a maniac through the rest of the roadabouts. Anyway I made it to the cinema in time to watch the film:thumb:

Probably a Sport... has the same rear lights and side skirts but without all the grunt... poor mans type-R

When the nova was on the road, i think i launched off a few traffic lights a few times in the first few weeks. Word seemed to get about, and no one would look at me at a set of lights, which was good as the novelty had worn off a bit and i started realising that the blue one could get to 'squashed head' speeds in very short distances.

The Transit on the other hand, is different. A chav sees a van and instantly thinks 'slow, i must get in front innit'. The satisfaction of eating a saxo full of townies for breakfast in a semi loaded MWB ford transit has more appeal to me than it ever did doing it in the nova lol

Raping 1.1 saxos in a transit van is great! The turbo diesel ones have quite a bit poke for a van. As do mercedes sprinters, renault masters and VW LT35s. :thumb:

Mercedes sprinters really are a force to be reckoned with.

Im the same cant be ****d with little neds trying to race me in their 35bhp dustbins. However i did get a old guy in suit revving his engine next to me at some lights last night. He was in one of those new porsches, needless to say he got **** raped to another universe. Lesson learnt dont try an show off to someone in a banged up corsa.

Was a fun drive ot work last night actually as i pulled up behide a lambo diablo, i was realing him in on the dual carriage way, shame we came to some traffic as was giving it his all an i would have just gone past him.

However these are the only two cars ive had some fun with for a long time as i just feel the need anymore.

27-09-06, 04:53 PM
because i drive a corsa sri, i get the odd chav try and give it some, but my 1.6 is faster than the old 1.poor

i just know though once i get the nova back on the road, im gona have every chave around bham trying to beat me, well i aint even gona challenge it, cuz its only a 1.4, and looking a bit worst for wear!

although i might humiliate a few corsa 1.2s and saxo / fiesta 1.1s!

The quickest van ive ever had was a Peugeot Boxer. it was actually near on unbelievable how quick it was. It would peel everywhere in the wet due to FWD and ludicrous amounts of torque, and did a GPS proven 115 mph fully loaded with my fat MD in the passenger seat (suffice to say after 6 points ive stopped being a tool on the roads now ):wtf: I got a Sprinter after it and it was a crawler in comparison! My current trannie 2005 T280 100 isnt slow either, ive raped many a sprinter off the lights full of chav builders :D

Compomotive have quoted me 550 quid to make a set of white rally rims for it. lol Id be tempted if i didnt have the nova to build!

27-09-06, 05:42 PM
Fedex got rid of all there Sprinters as a chap went past one of the MD's on the M25 at 120 lol Oops!

:D me too, people dont see a modded saloon so arent quite sure what to do - if they do try it I just drop a gear and let the twin 40's and straight thru exhaust do the talking lol

If Im ever having a bad day and a chav in a maxed car pulls a stunt like that it just cheers me right up! I was driving my mates astra gsi mk4 turbo (phase 3, lsd etc etc uber rapido) t'other day and some nonce in a escort convertible tried to race me, then when I stop at the roundabout he nails it past eratically

We laughed are balls off!

ive noticed that when youve just ripped a masssive hole in their ****, they go flying past almost wiping you out as if to prove their car can 340mph. Some people are poor losers.

yeah all chavs do this lol

In their mind they would have won they just convince themselves that they had traction issues or somethin pmsl

I had some banged up ol polo try and do me off the lights last night, so i put my foot down and left him for dust, basicly making a statement that hes a penut-pusher and he has no chance what so eva. After i made my point, he come up on the inside and shot past me as if i was still trying to race him as i was just ploding along. I made my point and didnt need to show him more then once. not worth the licence!

Ricky G
28-09-06, 08:36 PM
your right its not worth the license! hence why im loosing mine! on the way to work one morning and some asian lads in a beemer pull up beside me and laugh! ther beemer was fookin lovely but it was one of the older types so i thought ill have ago! we go down the marlow bypass upto a ton......im still behind with a grin and then i plant my foot! go flying past and go upto about 135 ish and then slow down! at the other end im all happy with myself coz it made him look like a prick but 13 days later i get a letter saying i was caught doing 123mph! i was too busy looking to see where he was and obviously missed the camera! doh! what a **** i am!

28-09-06, 11:03 PM
ha ha ha. i remember being one of those chavs thinking he could out drive tiff needel werent in a saxo tho-ax 1ltr yeah lol. i tell u what it is tho when u actually get behind the wheel of a fastcar for the first time you really realise that you cant drive at all lol-i remember going to pick up my rally spec fezzy mk2 10 grands worth of engine and i battered it of the lights after a 323and ended up on the other side of the road infront of an eddie stobart lorry due to the torque steer- i didnt een no what torque sterr was! suffice to say i beat the 323 turbo even tho i was a **** driver but i think that day i matured- but comon lads there it is fun just playing with chavs in there westcoasts with 300bhp nlurkin under your right foot lol

My favourite was coming on to the motorway, this guy in a suit followed me in the outside lane of the slip road onto leading to the motorway, he was sat on my rear bumper as I was checking my blind spot. I dropped to 3rd as it was clear and left him. He was in a C1 - I couldn't resist lol

I don't seem to attract chavs anymore, just suited tw@ts, more often than not in german metal, trying to do one over one me. Most don't believe the outcome.
