LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I have always noticed this. I do quite a lot of motorway miles as well and seem to suffer the usual "BMW, Merc, Audi" owners who tailgate. Its funny pulling over at 80 then when they get level dropping them a few car lengths with a burst of throttle.In town I just pull over and let racers go, I wont speed in built up areas and certainly dont want them crashing in to me with some erratic manouver.On the right roads (if there are such roads) I prefer to have fun with cars a little faster like M3s, Subarus and Boxsters. Probably never going to win but as a car enthousiast I like seeing these cars actually driven a little rather than sat in traffic.I do agree with a previous comment that the Gti does have a bit of a "presence" many other hot hatches dont have which makes the Gti a bit of a target for others.

As soon as i saw it i knew i wanted one, gona work hard til i can afford one (and the insurance style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> )Agreed the lupo has a presence no matter what model. Jake-VW on here, when you say you've got a lupo ive had a good few people saying ooh have you seen that black lupo around, proper decked. Just something about them...

M1 Lupo Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Try living near merry hill, I avoid it where possible now as its full chav mobiles and police officers. But there is always one! I only went for petrol at the BP garage on the Pedmore Road. Lupo had 250ml of Aldon Octane booster, I had a Red Bull. I managed to pull off the forecourt, just before a light change at the next junction down, but some spaz in a SaxRot VTR tried to attach himself to my cars bumper. Two gear changes later @ 6800 and he had dissapeared backwards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I get alot of people wanting to race when I'm in the sport.I think its something to do with the twin centre exit exhausts tbh.This guy in a Boxter was proper showing off to me and I was sat there thinking 'man, your WELL sad, your having to prove yourself to someone in a car worth a quarter of yours and someone half your age'.Tbh, I think they need to reassure themselves against hot hatches cause they didn't buy a 911/M3/C55.

dannywhiteley Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I get this a bit, probably the centre exit and lowered susp that does it to be honest. They see it as fair game, a fellow 'boy racer' (only we are not - generally)...I once had an audi a6 avant so far up my ass I could smell him, really pissing me off. I let him past naturally, but then pulled out behind him. He was obviously just a nob in a big car who thought he could eat anything smaller for breakfast (which I admit he probably could). Only after I sat behind him for about 8 miles at 100mph (he obviously didnt want to take it faster) he pulled over and let me passed...lol I knew his car was faster, he knew his car was faster, but he just didnt have the balls to blast me away so **** out and let me go past him. Queue a big smile and a nod from me... hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
