Just sold my subaru so now I can say............I ragged the **** out of it whenever I could 
.....The engine never went bang and the car never missed a beat.......with around 340horses and 315lbft thats not all bad 
I loved putting my foot down whenever there was the smallest straight ahead and would never be beaten off the lights by anything.
If I was cruising along the motorway and something mildly sporty such as an Astra VXR came past, that was it, down to third, on his bumper pushing him along......
Have never had any points on my license, have full no claims yet I drive like a loon because thats how I like to drive......***** out, foot to the floor mental.
All the morons that don't like driving over 4k should sell their car and go buy a TDI of some-sort.....
I'm no "boy" racer or chav......i'm a slightly older generation of performance enthusiast that's on a misson to put them all in their place.....
letting them sometimes go first, passing them with the five-knuckle-shuffle out the window and laughing.......soon wipes any smile off their face and makes them think twice before doing it again.....
The difference?
I can own up to driving like this without saying, "Oh I just let them get on with it and laugh when they pull off....." or "I now understand why fast cars drive on the inside lane, because they have nothing to prove" muppets.
I'm the kind of bloke to tell his girlfriend to shut up when they huff and tut next you to when YOU decide, **** it, lets go....Not just laughing and saying, "I've got no point to prove...." when you secretly thought...******* little b@stard, if she wasn't here.....
LOL

Got no problem at all with how you drive your car,
but it f ucks me right off people that sit on your a rse
trying to get you to react. I'll give my car the berries when
it suits me no when some dobber is magnetised to my bumper. It's happened
to me more than once and it never fails to amaze me how thick folk are.
Just because someone owns a sports car of some description doesn't
mean they want to race everything with an engine.

Then move out of the way and they will get the idea.

Don't think for a second I hold these people up
intentionally, whatever speed you're doing, it's never
fast enough for these d ick heads. As for your comment,
I'm more inclined to hammer on the anchors thankyou very much!!

I used to be a bit of a plonker on the road, lots of racing around feeling like I had something to prove to everybody. I'm starting to change my ways though... I think the turning point was when I was in my uncles M5, I said to him "don't you just want to rag it everywhere?!", he replied "what's the point? everybody KNOWS how powerful my car is".. It's just such a true statement. If I see somebody hooning it down a 30 zone at 80 in any car, I'll assume he's got something to prove and won't see any reason to be impressed. If I see somebody cruising BELOW the speed limit in something I KNOW has a rediculous amount of power, I'd be well impressed. It just shows the driver has nothing to prove to anybody.. he knows he already wins, so why bother proving it?

Dont really bother reacting anymore I must be getting old. Although I do still floor it sometimes if mid life crisis/rep mobile man comes up in his audi tt or mondeo. They never dare look over but you know they are going to floor it as soon as those light turn green

what a tit. You pull up behind me like that and i'll very likely pull along side a car on the inside lane and slow you down, untill you get off of my rear bumper. Then I may let you pass. So you drove a Scooby, leave the tail gating to tossers in company cars (BMW's). OK, now i'll step domwn from my soap box

You could try that.......then I may overtake on the hard shoulder......or i'd just sit there hitting my horn, flashing my lights waiting for you to get the hint I want to go faster than you...watching you get more and more wound up......you could slam your breaks on.....but why would you want to go through the whole insurance scene......
I don't tailgate ALL the time.....only when I see something I fancy pitting the car against....
