I find it does depend on the time of day.
9.00 to 12.00 in the evening seems to be popular with drain pipe exhaust brigade ;)
During daylight hours it is usually the 'sportier' repmobiles......

i have had my cupra for about a week now and i get loads of people wanting to race. which i never found in my Polo GTI.
I have had a corsa, polo, merk and civic type R just pull up beside me and start reving, bar the civic which kept trying to overtake in a 60.
but what i don't understand is why 3 of them gave me the w***** sign they started it and got destroyed.
the civc kept having to wash his windscreen because of all the soot been kicked out the back of mine.

My worse foe is the Astra Exterior Kit 150/120 bhp. I can almost see them pumping the 'Sport' button on the dashboard. What Vauxhall drivers don't realise is the 'Sport' button is actually a trap door in the boot that opens, drops their sandwiches, copy of razzle and copy of Salesman of the Year Album 1986 and makes them 4kg lighter, and therefore 'sportier'

Pump the button loser

After the Volvo, I keep forgetting how much the Cupra stands out. It does seem to make Saxo drivers want to demonstrate how quick their car is, and it upsets people on motorways and makes them speed up when you pull out to overtake. :confused:

I did get a twat pull up next to me in his bright green pimped up nova at the lights in Hanwell a few months back, he was counting down with his horn, made my day when he stalled a the 3rd honk, didn't see him at the next set...

Well ours seems to :rolleyes: , on several occasions over the last few days the rear of our FR seems to act like a magnet for 'go faster' boys. Last night whilst picking my youngest daughter up from TGI Fridays we had more than unwelcome attention from much 'modified' Nova, Fiesta and Focus drivers (all in the space of about 6 miles). Today while out on business I had very close attention of a new Golf GTI, with twin separated pipes modification :shrug:
I thought (was hoping) the FR was a bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing but it appears not.

Glad to see your taste in restaurant's is as good as your taste in cars mind.

Go on, give into RIB RAGE!!! :drool:

I'm a chef for tgi's in teesside! :D

The Bm bridgade are the worst because it says BMW on the boot it must be the fastiest car on the road.

Many years ago I ran a 4lt V8 discovery which I towed a caravan with . I could out drag most boy racers away from the lights with the caravan on the back. Now that was a laugh and something I don't think they would tell their mates. It usually cost me a gallon of fuel to do it ,but it was worth it.
