simpo Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Needs that dif. I like playing with Scoobys to, im just a touch quicker normally but from the rate at which that needle goes round the speedo you should be all over them.Really want to bring the ricer to the pod and get beaten by the fast lupos, but pretty sure id get abuse if I took it up the strip at gti-festival.

Its finding one to race which is the problem, when I had the GTI the roads were full of cars that wanted to show me up.No I have my chavy mirrors no one seems interested!Thats a shame, im sure a couple years ago I saw a white evo get spanked by a scirocco at gti-festival though. I remember the commentator giving the driver some abuse. As for people to play with, ever since I got the bake-bean tin on the back I have had no end of idiots trying to have a go. Just get yourself a chavy exhaust . Sometimes it can get boring but most of the time its all good fun, just need to get a charger on the ricer when I have a spare 3K so I can embarrass M3's 911's etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 lol I hope there is a 911 to race at festival!The dude who I bought it off wasted one just before I got it Gonna try to get to York drag way before to get some practice in.

dxg Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Whenever I see cars like this, I'm always reminded of a quote I heard once from an Italian guy speaking about his Fiat 500 Abarth (the original ones with the boot lid proped open):"The car? She do 95. The main bearings? They do 75!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
