Default do you take the bait?

this is an honest question so if you intend to rant on about how immature I cat or how I should grow up then f**k off. I'm not interested in people's ROSPA sponsored opinions, just how people act when baited.

You know the story, you're minding your own business, going at your speed, no slower, no faster. You catch up to someone one who doesn't want to be overtaken, most of the time it's some lowly BMW 330 or something that the owner thinks is faster than it is, sometimes it's something a bit more juicy like the RX7 I came up behind the other day.

Now before I go on, I just want to say, that I do not go out in the morning with the intention to race everything on 4 wheels...

but sometimes, as the story goes, you get the smell of unleaded as they drop down a couple of cogs and you know that they intend to teach you a lesson, so why not you think, lets see how good they are....

so soon as the road opens up, you drag it up to whatever before someone relents, jop done another point proved.

I know this is infantile but I'm sure most have you done the same..

or am I the only t**t on here that takes the bait????

I'm a sucker for it, and being honest sometimes i'm the fisherman, but in the second instance it's more to pee someone off then make a point

Don't worry - I'm 37 and my missus is always having a go at me for being a boy-racer.

No-one beats me off the lights, or anywhere else for that matter - v childish I know but there we go

Of course!!! Half the bellends on here will deny it but they do - who has a fast car and never floors it and has the odd race. If you were like that, then you may as well have a diesel. It is funny, if you go on another forum - SIDC or something like that, people are honest and wil admit to the odd road race etc, unlike here where people portray that they never floor it/ race/ etc etc.

Got a good race the other day with an Evo 6 - all on my mobile (filmed by my mate) FLAMESUIT ON!!!

Come on Bubba, you cannot honestly say, you haven't wiped the floor with someone just for the sheer hell of it. It doesn't have to be an Aston Martin super charged whatever, just a micra will do he he

Actually I once wasted a Fiat Punto Sporting, because she raced me from the previous set of lights when I was busy picking my nose and musing on the mineralogical composition of Gabbro. But that was only because I was told to by the wife.

Mine doesn't have an oversize spoiler, and the scoop is functional, isn't it?

Varboy do you really mean 'agree with me or f*#k off'

What is the point of a thread like this

PS Yes I drive fast (when it's safe), No I don't race, and Yes you are a t**t

Any that I meet on the road, whether they come from behind or I catch up seem determined to **** me off by driving like a 17 year old newbee in a hot hatch

"accelerating" round a bend, HUGE pothole, just avoided with the front wheel but rear caught it, was too far into turn to let off so had to stick with it. Rear wheel smashed down it so hard i thought the tyre had blown.

Still API have sent me a replacement, just need to fit the thing now
