When you have some chap in a 09 plate mini cooper come up really fast behind you and then tries to over take you down the dual carriage way but cant get past because he has made the fatal mistake (like so many others) of underestimating the Ibiza 16v ! You cant beat that look of …..ive just spent ££££££ on this brand new mini and I cant get past that V reg car that I think might be a golf.

Amen !

Ha amazing isnt it!
Imagine their disappointment when the same thing happens with my de-badged L-reg (least your's says Cupra Sport on the back)

Yeah, it was truly brilliant…

As I slowed down for traffic he pulled out and over took me and 2 other cars, cut someone up and the roundabout and went straight on in the right hand lane.

However as I am sure you will all agree the victory was already mine and he obviously thought that by driving like a manic he could save face…never a copper around when you need one ay !

Pretty much identical to me down the Halesowen Bypass.
Sat on my bumper all the way through the 40 limit and round the round about flashing his headlights at me, then got blitzed down the duel carriageway. So cuts 3 people up on the roundabout turning right from the left hand lane.
It's all Karma though, that's why you see so many mini's with big dents in them ;)

Its just awesome…..its a nightmare round where I live….kids drive there cars like idiots !

I was on my way home from Solihull to where I live last Saturday about 11pm the evening…its about a 30 mile trip and I had 3 different cars try racing me and geode me into some sort dual. 1 punto and 2 crosa’s…..it was a nightmare….it normally takes just 1 show of what you’ve got to put them off but the last kid in the punto was a real pain in the arse !

Only last summer a lad lost his type r on a roundabout and was killed round the corner from me. I try not to rise to it but its so difficult not to.

hahaha that happened yesterday with a mini and someone at the traffic lights in a brand new Honda Civic Type-S pulled up on my right, he was revving his engine, i didn't wanna do nothing, but he was being cocky, so i smoked him, then at the next traffic lights he said "is it a turbo transplant" i laughed and cruised off (i love cruising instead of racing, just puts a smile on my face for acceleration, upto the speed limit of course :D)

do not underestimate the polo lookalike lol

i did once have a guy in a corsa 1.4 8v try and race me, this was last summer, while the car was still running :lol:

anyway he was tailgating me, so i slowed down, was doing about 40 in a 60 at this point, really getting on his tits, he was 5 up in this car aswell, so he goes to overtake me, i let him get the wing of his car in front of mine, then drop a gear and booted it, he didnt know what was going on. Left a massive smile on my face, the spotty tw@t didnt know what to do :)

back on topic, you know you have a mk2 when you have to buy a daily alongside it :(

Yep that is annoying! Before the badges came off I used to get pulled quite regularly (GTi Syndrome)
Then the next time when the badges were off I was asked what model the car was, why it had no badges and to look at the engine bay
All I was doing was driving home from work at night
You can't win!

Yeah Suj ! stop promoting street racing !!!

Haha, are those type s things still 140 bhp like the old ones….those things weigh a ton !

I don’t want any more points to add to my 6 so never speed, its just not worth it….i don’t get lads who just drive like divs everywhere….so many saxslows !

But defiantly one of the major things that always puts a smile on my face is accelerating away from people and seeing the look on there face. The guy in the mini’s face was a picture…he was so angry !!!....says a lot about mini drivers I suppose !

Even better when you side by side wtih a Supra Twin Turbo going flat out up the straight at castle combe while overtaking a TVR and then out brake it :D

Or chasing scoobies, got pulled before becasue I was ahead of two LCR and the copper asked "Do you have one of them turbo engines that shouldn't be under the bonnet?" I answered "No, officer!"...... he replies "Well how were you infront of them two Leon's?" ;)

Not many Mini Cooper S and clio will play around my way, sat on bumpers of loads of Focus ST's from work (I work in Fords) would overtake but dont take risks. Lapped a Aerial Atom at Llandow circuit (but he couldn't drive for sh!t) Astra VXR's are crap lol, upset load of LCR's and people claiming 220-230bhp in the Mk3 Ibiza's, number of scoobies.... and of course this was all on a track or something alike ;)

Be honest I won't be doing any runs down the strip at Inters, done a few at Santa Pod and never really enjoyed them compared to trackdays :)

you have been driving in the rain with the wipers on intermittent and leave the stalk down, wondering when next time you get in why you can't stick the ignition key straight in

You know you have the mk 2 on your mind when someone mentions that they have a mk2 with an ABF lump and my natural reaction was "you have an ibiza too?" haha. Only later did i realise he was on about a mk2 Golf :doh:
