What do you drive and why ??

[Badcat]

my shitter 250 pisses (literally it does, fork seals never been the same since i started wheeling) over any production car if i know the road etc, an a 1600 mx5 hair dressers car dont come fucken close.

sorry - i misunderstood the thread..
i thought it was what do you drive, not how big is your dick.
always nice to get dissed by a teenager with a 250 - keeps us old fucks "down with the kids"

you teenagers are great - just for the comedic value.
pull your pants up, and stand up straight, for christ's sake.

oh, and isn't it time you left home? while you still know everything and all....

I took out an infamous TVR (cersumthinorrather), that hangs around whangarei I was racing him on SH14 towards dargaville (nice in fun that road!), they guy drives a speed 6 in the NZ GT1(?) champs - and won the last round.

Anyway I completely made a fool of him

And I know Roo and his group did the same (and they had a ZZR250).

So I dont think your point is very valid, but then in saying that I was on the 195 limiter most of the time on the straight bits, But now I'm derestricted I can go find him again and have more fun

Did you beat him with power and speed, or did traffic assist you?

We dont have traffic these ways

Nah, Initially we were the same in acceleration - but I carried way more around the corners, I heard him drifting out alot to hahaha .

So it was more cornering speed, but by the straight I had about 20sec on him, and that was that.

and then i gave myself a pearl necklace

MX5's are fantastic, well balanced, great to drive, slap on a turbo and rollcage and uprate the brakes and its a fine targa car. I want one!

My 4 wheels are on a Isuzu 4wd 6tonner tip truck. It goes anywhere, and I can knock out stumps with the rear end by backing into them a few times. It also helps pull trees over and drags logs up gullies. But its slow, (its the 4 stroke 250 of 4 wheeled vehicles), empty or full it doesnt seem to matter. Actually my GF took it to do shopping at petone and got all the way there before relising it had a few tonnes on pine on the back.

I do have shares in a lotus 7 replica, its taking a while to come together.

[justsomeguy]

Yup a car will be faster than a bike........ but it will have to be one "mother" of a car......

Notice the kinds of cars that get used in car vs bike comparos??

4wd Porsche 911's

Lamborghini Gallardo's

Mosler MT900's

That's about 1.5 million dollars NZ - give or take...

You string together three bikes worth 1.5 million dollars and I'm sure we'll need a set of McLaren F1's, Enzo's and Koenigzegg's to take them out

Just to re-itterate, it deffinatly sounded like he was trying, maybe it wasnt the guy I thought it was, but I definatly beat him, because he took off when I went to over take him like a kunt, so I was thinking fuck some rich toss thinking his "instantpenisenlarger" was going to beat me, It took about 1min then I was on his tale, and took him in the incredibly tight twisty bit on 14, some might know them, its that 3km, that has the slow sweapers (20kmph/30kmph), I also took out a MR2 on the same road, even ask antallica if you dont beleave me, because he flow past ant and so I gave chase.

The TVR I CANT be sure of thee type, Dont care for british preformanace cars anyway, think it was a purple? or maroony type, couldnt really tell (I'm slightly color blind) It was small like griffen small so I dunno, sure it was a hardtop, it was a male older man driving - so maybe he just didnt have the confidence.

The MR2 was the turbo one (turbocharged 2.0 litre 4 cylinder with 200 hp) and that gave me abit of a run for my money, but I still got past him, even though I wasnt that confident at that time, it was 2 young guys, and when I passed them they gave me the thumbs up.

So dont fucken give me shit :@ I'm not the best rider, but accusing me of lying now thats another thing.

Bit more practicle than the sports cars I used to own and yes its well versed in off road use...

I think Martys comments summed this little lot up quite well.....

Hey why is it so hard to beleave, this shits abit personal - and cheap, maybe you shouldnt be so quick to jump on the love boat.

But then again I spend most my time on the bike

I'll admit to you a little story, heading into Wellington on that new bit of 2-3 lane highway just past Raumati???, anyway a guy in a Merc 500sl or similar with his top down, roared up behind me, so I gave it heaps through that new peice of road doing in access of 250kph (yeah yeah stupid shit I know), anyway, this dude in the 500sl was on my ass all the way, didn't pass me but shite, he was there!, so to hear the stories from you bikers on 250's is like the big fish I caught last summer (it was thiiiiiiisssssss bbbiiiiigggg)

PS don't get me wrong, the 250's you guy's have a nice bikes.......

[mikey]

I'll define my argument a little more here.

mikey on his 250 will struggle against a lot of cars, v8's, turbo's etc, on the track, or on the road, anywhere, my argument is, his 250RR would not have the power or top end speed to compete against these types of cars.

Traffic aside, a late model turbo and some of the late model v8's will give most bikes a run for there money, esp in the windies, open road may be a different story. I've pushed bikes going up the parapara several times, ok I know the road and maybe they didn't, but the corning of a car in the right hands can be quicker than a bike I reckon.

I'd love to take you up on that offer pal!

The right person behind the wheel in a Subaru/Mitsi Evo (or any decent 4x4 turbo) would give most litre bikes a run for their money mate (on windies)!.....

ok buddy bring your evo / wrx / v8! any where near wainui or piecock or rimutakas an we will both put $500 in a nuetral persons pocket ie my brother, an give him 10 minutes to get to top of the hill an then ill have a ciggy at the top an maybe a coffee an when you arrive illl take a piss on your car. an if you somehow get passed me, very unlikely ill pull over call my brother an tell him to split an ill get my race suit either way.

so got a wrx evo v8 an 500 ??

I was like you once pal, when I was 15 and had my first bike, thought it was the shit and the fastest thing on the block. You'll look back at this someday kid and have a laugh, just like I'm doing now.
