140bhp, 750kg, rear wheel drive, rev to 5k drop the clutch and the things will pull a wheelie

I used to have an old 1.3 bug, and although not the quickest of cars is is without doubt the most fun ive had with my clothes on.
Rear wheel drive in the snow and ice and built like a tank.
Im smiling now just thinking of it.

the best place to do the traffic light Grand Prix is after the Severn Tolls once you get into Wales on the M4.

(One for the old 'uns)
I can't help myself going "bing.... bing... BEEP!" when going through toll gates etc., just like the start of the 'Pole Position' arcade F1 game way back when.
Sorry I can't put the sounds into words properly, but if you know the game you'll know what I mean!

My favourite was the other day when a scooter lined up to take me on. When that little 2 stroke, or whatever the hell it was, motor buzzed off the line at a pace that made costal erosion look quick, I just stayed behind him laughing so hard that I could almost be heard over the H&S exhaust. The bloke on the scooter gave me the w*nker sign.
Oh, the irony!

I always get left off the line. Mainly cos I drive one of those really heavy underpowered bugeye`s. And a pram pushed by a 3 yr old is quicker than one of them.

I like the boy racer thing....Most people(including snetters) think a woman cant drive...You are sadly mistaken I love nothing more than wellying some bloke off the lights. It gives me great satisfaction. Sad i know, but by god it makes me feel good
