B3128 Bristol to Clevedon, 190e 2.3-16 v sapphire cossie, 1989

He had the power but I had the handling and talent

It was ok to do it in those days as there weren't so many cars (or tw ts) on the road

 

RRH,

Know that road, did you live in Clevedon at that time??

I was living in Bristol at the time, but gf (wife now) lived & worked in WSM so it was always a quick monday morning trip...

I did have many an adventure along that road though

when i had my supra tt ...me and a porsche 911 on the m25 lets just say the supra had more top end

 

Personally I enjoy knocking chips off shoulders of sports bikes riders, especially as the conversation always comes up between me and my cousin driver vs rider.
Proved my point today when an idiot on a gsxr 1000 decided to cut me up and then pull a wheelie, shame for him it was all show though coz he tried desperatly to outrun me with no luck whatsoever! Those things are only any good on a track.. not british roads!

 

GSXR1000 all show? WTF are you driving?

 

<<<< Lol just my 2000 turbo.. what I meant as all show was the way that the rider blatantly cut me up and pulled a wheelie then powered off but couldnt outrun me! If it was on a completely even flat minted tarmac racetrack then yeah it would def outrun me but a race was a race and the road surfaces for miles around here are in the favour of a scooby!

 

I want to know what Eartha Kitt is doing in your car.

Well, there was this one time at Band camp....



Wet kart track: slick tyres:

Find my target up ahead, got along side to make them think your going to overtake, but brake early for the bend and drop back out of harms way....then watch the feejit either brake too late or get on the power too early and bin it Repeat for every other driver on the track.

Went from the back of the grid to 1st place doing that

 

What's sus about an earth kit? ...still wondering where the ryhming slang reference came from and its intention...

 

I like playing with those bikes that pull up alongside you at lights or roundabouts blipping their throttle noisily.

They seem a bit surprised that you can stay with them up to relatively sensible speeds in an "ordinary" 4 door saloon - I don't do big spoilers and things.

It's great fun to sit behind them when pulling away whilst they peer in their mirrors wondering WTF.

Wifey is never amused though.

Best one was pulling onto the A3 from a roundabout under the main road (3 lane dual carriageway) heading towards 3 figures and he was looking in his mirrors all the way up the slip road. We both eased off before it got silly and before he turned off about half a mile up the road, he slowed, looked round and waved.

 

I had a K reg... YES!!! K reg Wrx import with a full system and air filtter and Sti everything else nearly

Live in London and an ST was in front of me, Saw me coming so put on the heat...

It was not long till we both were at the lights and windows went down and an agree for a race was made!!!

So Waiting for the lights....
Bang they go green and were off...
Dame i didn't give it enough gas and the car is langing but Mr ST is putting so much Smoke out i dropped the cluth, rev's to sky high (F*£K it if im loseing this one) And bang up goes the cluth and the back of the scooby is pretty much touching the floor!

And were off... Ok i did not leave him all together to beging with but im pulling away!

1st
2nd!!!!!

Look at a car coming towards us from in front... It's the boys in bule!

On go there lights and they pull a U turn good enough for a Hollywood film! (Must of used the hand brake)

So here is the good bit!

Both of us aint stopping as this is lose eveything time, so im looking for somewere to turn.... There it is.... Full chant and the Scooby is around it Falt4 banging and squking and i look behind to see the ST try the same thing

He flys right pass brakes on and everything, smoking the wheels!!!
Don't know how he didn't hit the kerb on the other side of the road!

Boys in blue??? Don't know what happend to them?

I was shacking like a leaf and could not even drive after that! Parked the Scooby and made my way home in my other car that was parked were i use to leave the scooby (Locked up) Very slowly!!!

Had the fattest smile for days

 

Has to be the Nurburgring with me in the RB, a 911GT3, a 944 turbo and of all things a calibra got into a group after the karousel and swapped positions right the way to the start finish straight, mainly trying to avoid getting written off by the calibra.

Dodgey moment as the calibra scandinavian flicked it into the mini karosel passing the gt3 mid way round!!

 

Charity kart endurance race at buckmoore park. Pissing down for 2hours, but I won! Only 17 at the time.

 

My 205 Mi16 (in the for sale section ) on Brands Hatch Indy Circuit...

Mr Boxster S didn't like the way I was quicker on the straights and the bends..

Mr (guess - 1987) 911 RS wouldn't let me past despite the fact I could turn harder and faster (you're only supposed to overtake on the left once the other person indicates and moves over).

Mr DC2 Type R was louder but quicker...? Not a chance .

Seriously chaps, if you haven't taken your car in track... do it!

 

Best race I ever had was against the girl next door . It was around 1/2 mile to 3/4 mile in length, from the local petrol station to our houses. She was in a cream 1ltr Vauxhal Nova. I was using my bog standard, red 10 speed raleigh ace. Both at the exit to the petrol station at the same time. I hit the power hard and out accelerated up to my terminal speed of 30 - 36 mph. At the junction she had caught up, but her nova was anable to take the corner at the speed I was able to. Now I new she was in trouble we were in the twisties which meant I was able to use the raleigh aces superior handling to keep the bike at speed. I beat her to the house by around 40ft.

Didn`t get anywere though, obviuosly she was a sore looser.
