One of the joys of having a Scooby is the pleasure its gives Kevvers when they beat you in the Traffic Light Grand Prix

I only wish there was some way to convey to them the message that *actually* I would have royally kicked their ar$e if it was not for the fact that (choose any of the following):

- I've just left the car park at work and the water is still cold, let alone the oil

- I've just been to McD's/KFC/etc and if I pull more than .25G my footwell will be covered in Pepsi (no cup holders in my MY97!)

- We're just outside a school, in rush-hour

- The lights are still *red*, you wally

- It would be mean to embarrass you in front of your 15 yr old girlfriend in your 1.0 Nova/Fiasco/Micra

- etc

Any others?

Why would I race someone who cant put his cap on the right way?

OR

The wind from your 2 foot exhaust has pushed me back into the lights!!

OR

My girl would look at me with contempt from the passenger seat if I took the bait

OR

I was tuning the radio and didn't see the lights change - D'oh

OR

I was too busy admiring your wonderful body kit

OR

I was too busy absorbing that amazing drum n'bass sound that your car was emitting

OR

....?

watch out,
Those who love their cars do so for a reason and from experience Impreza's aren't the only good cars out there.

be afraid,very afraid. Even the Ford boys will occasionally whip your ***, till they break down of course.

I've succumed to traffic light Gran Prix a couple of times. I let them get ahead while I go for a rolling start. (BMW both times I think ) I'm sympathetic to my clutch. Once rolling I boot it in 1st and all they know is a Green flash and a blarp from the exhaust. I know, I know, I know, it's not big, it's not clever, but sure is fun! D

I don't do it when the oil is cold, ohhh no.

Any way some times they want you to do it. I saw a Diablo in Guildford today, I was desperate for him to rev it, but no, he didn't.

OR You obviously haven't spotted the unmarked Vulva behind you.

OR I was too busy fantasising about your 15 year old grilfriend.

OR my mate's behind in his 911 and I'm staying out of the way while he destroys us both

OR another mate's behind on his 'Blade and I'm staying out the way while he destroys you, me and the 911....

My missus is in the car and is constantly nagging about me jerking her head back, and going too fast would be a acurate one for me.

millband,

Re "- I've just been to McD's/KFC/etc and if I pull more than .25G my footwell will be covered in Pepsi (no cup holders in my MY97!)"

Don't you have a pull out cupholder thingy on your MY97? both my wrx and wrxsti had these, its above the heater/ac controls, I thought it was a feature of the older style interior.

'fraid not Moray, at least on mine - it's a bit of trim which is fixed in place.

I'd shoot my load and soil my pants every time I do people at the lights, especially 15 year old girls, so I don't do it.

How about, I don't have anything to prove as I know my car is faster than yours!!.
or
It's to55ers like you that cause accidents and put my insurance premium up!
or
It's what you want me to do so I ain't going to bother!
or
I don't want to stress my brakes when I have to slow down from warp 10 for the next set of lights!
