LOL, textbook selection of data to prove the hypothesis - you'd never even know anyone else was there.

He knew the guy wanted to pass, he let him get alongside him then prevented him from completing his maneouvre by accelerating.

That situation is covered in the "fack that ****e, I know it all" code.

yeah
wait for the lights to go then sit back and watch them take off, check one's hair, check all round observation for fed's. Right coast is clear then wap their **** to the next set of lights.

old enough to have more sense, what the hell, if the coast is clear & it's safe to do so, excersise your bhp & your competition clutch.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

My other favourite one is the snooper/ road angel 'get out of points free'

"Nova Boi" is right up your tail, no doubt using your slipstream as it wouldnt normally go that fast, you hoof it away so he drops a gear that gives him a 'lets go' signal, you back off slightly to give him some hope of reaching you, he sees his chance, he pulls out thinking hes actually beat a scoob, as you brake hard ... then its like christmas lights as the gatso gets him

You blast past him with a smug look

*smiles*

I do like egging them on into a lights grand prix then as you say watching them race nothing, I generally wouldnt waste my petrol or clutch on something that is a foregone conclusion

Hold on. Why is everyone getting on his case? Sounds to me as if the Calibra driver was being the dangerous one here.

If that had been me, and after watching the idiot weaving about on my rear bumper I'd be VERY tempted to do the same!

Yeah love all of the above moves apart form the overtaking thing but favourite is the traffic light games. In Glasgow coming from city centre heading to south side it's a two lane road for over a mile but about 5 sets of lights. First set, first in line with Saxo beside. rev rev, off he goes. Along i go in 1st then 2nd all the way at about ten miles an hour and never have to stop, just getting to each light in turn as it turns. Just love watching him accelerate hard then brake all the time just until the last set when i breeze past him at 20-30 depending on my timing. Lurvely

Mr_Creosote

I can imagine you saying it was dangerous if I had slowed down in a national speed limit and and then accelerated when someone tried to overtake me....

The fact was, I slowed down to the speed limit and had some tosser about 6 inches off my bumper (if I'd had to stop I'd have had him in my backseat!) ALL the way through the 30mph zone (and believe me, if not for oncoming traffic he'd have passed me there) and then accelerated (admittedly swiftly) once I hit the national speed limit section...

Been there, done it. I tend to stick pretty closely to speed limits in built up areas, but when the NSL signs are reached, it's a different matter. What do people expect you do do when you reach the NSL signs - keep going at 30? You're in a performance car, not a bloody Kia Pride!

4stringMike

I take your point that in this particular instance it wasn't all that dangerous if a bit risky, but how do you know that his car wouldnt have matched yours and remained alongside you for a distance?

In this situation if I really wanted to prove a point I'd have either floored it before he had a chance to start overtaking and left him behind, or let him go past and then stayed with him at a safe distance.

I dont mean to lecture mate, it's just my philosophy with w@nkers like this is "let 'em get on with it"

flynnstudio

Got to agree - Don't take it badly - were all here to share our experience and if we all learn something then all the better!... you should have let him get passed or been off the mark quick enough so he was behind you and then if he was quick enough let him overtake on a fair and clear understanding of 'private airstrip racing' rules...you wouldn't feel too good if he'd have had a head on now - only to find he was w*nker enough to also have had his 6 yearold in the back seat - seriously there are idiots like that out there...and also that whole scenario was unpredictable enough so that if you'd have slowed to let him past at a moment of crisis - he may well have thought 'there is no way this dick is going to let me by - so I'll slow too" - the consequences are too dire...

These days I even think twice about how hard I push (or pull) the nova boys - I'd hate to induce them into overcooking it - after all I have 20+ years of driving experience on them..I don't know about you but I was a crap driver at 20 - young,dumb and full of c*m as they say...

play solo or play safely is what I say..
