Your best "Dissing boy racers" story.

Then just beware - like there's a Lexus V8 powered SE Corolla down here with faded paint, rust spots, no exhaust pipe showing and no bonnet-bulge/scoop, no fancy badges or decals, just a set of tarnished old mags'n'low profilest- VERY sneaky, very grunty.

Mates got a Hilux, body raise big off road wheels and the same engine..... alot underestimate that as well

Fair call... but I'm willing to bet when they gun the engine there's some about it that says "you should stop laughing now". The raw power of that racing 1500 had quite the opposite effect.

It was a good laugh though.

FWIW... I like subtle like that. I'd actually be happy to lose to someone as downright devious as meself...

Best sleeper I've seen locally was a VW beetle with a big block. Hugely impractical, but very impressive. The only give-away was the fact the driver's seat was where the rear seats should be, and sitting there at idle the sound was unmistakable, and the whole body wobbled.

Geez King Rat was built in Wellywood back in the 70's then owned by a clubmate in Hawera. Ran a 427 big block with short wheelbase - fun to watch in gymkana's

County Durham Police force used to have a battered old Ford Fiesta - unmarked. Underneath the modest exterior were some innards courtesy of Cosworth I believe.

They used to chase Porsches up and down the A1 - the front grille would drop away at a touch of a button to reveal the word Police and the sports car drivers would get a nasty surprise when they tried to gap it!

waz that ewe on the newz the otherday, matey?

[nodrog:Me]

Am I misunderstanding something, or are you describing precisely the kind of behaviour that's near the top of most of our gripe lists? Speeding up on the passing lanes, deliberately to stop someone passing.

Richard

no misunderstanding you got it in one, i am not going to let some baggypants mommas boy try and pass me on the last 10 metres of a passing lane, cut in front of me, only to hold me up on the next corner.

and its nowhere near the top of my gripe list, i have never had anybody hold me up in a passing lane by speeding up

[koba]

heey, just for the record I'm generally much more wary of old nannas driving home from bridgeclub on a wednesday night totaly devoid of periphiral vision....

However there is definatley plenty the cock in the jappas.

One great one for me is when some guys with rich parents or massive loans tuned up at out carclubs autocross. (bucket racing for cars but one at a time)

They rolled up in modified and heavily stickerd reardrie nissans that ooozed misspent cash. slid around the couse making lots of noise and evaporating a set of tyres in a day.
One of the silivas allegedly had 450 horse a the wheels!

They weren't very fast tho....

I was in my brothers 1988 Mitsi lancer stationwagen with 155 tyres front and back, 4speed manual and airconditioning!

From memory I think I beat 3 of the 4 guys for time, all in first gear!!!!
No shit, that old 8valve single cam motor must have been revving past ten grand!!

Lasted a good 3 months too, not bad for $250 or so!
He sold it on fucked (open about its fuckedness, twas hardly disguisable) and a week later saw it parked up at the bottom of the takas for a bout 3 weeks with a big pool of oild under it!

[scumdog]

waz that ewe on the newz the otherday, matey?

Nah, the boss.

[Morcs]

i used to have an applause legendary ,machine...

with all 4 wheels sliding round 55's LOL

front wheel drive car whole thing sliding = oh lordy lol

had full control tho....

go round corners bloodey well for a family car those applauses!

It was wet. Me and Zero were cruisin'

But spose you were still going at a decent pace

Everytime I go out riding, I have multiple run-in's with boy racers, not so boy racers, and general plonkers wanting to have a go. And before you say it, I don't encourage it with my riding behaviour, mmmkay?

Last night I did the Haywards/Pie Cock Hill/Pauatahanui Inlet route a couple of times, and again, I get wankers driving too close, cutting in front, wanting a go at lights. Old, young, crusty, shopping trolleys, utes, cars. There is no pattern, though it does seem more prevalent in Wellington, rather than on the open road

This may happen to others, but I'm not so sure about the frequency. Would be interested to hear...

I'm guessing it's ant syndrome. May need to invest in a Michelin Man suit or eat more pies.

Mmm.. pies.

... my number plate flips up...

? Is this a bond bike? Or was it your old GSXF - mine doesn't seem to have a "licence flipper" button. Am I doing it wrong?

Does your's go underwater too like Roger Moore's esprit?

[90s]

My favorite is definitely, and round here regular:
On the scooter, give them the nod and pull in hard on the back brake, then when the lights go green give it shit.

Unless by some miracle they actually know how to drive you own them up to 50kmph.

About 55 they pass you like your standing still. Even better when you see a speed camera van down the road and keep them pinned until they are in line.

Yeah - beauty.
Even when I had a 50cc scooter many many years ago there were very few boy racers who could beat you over the first few yards or to 40k. And that's the phychological victory and the breaking point for their fragile self-image and masculinity.

Even better once I made an fat middle-aged balding guy (a boy racer at heart) stall his 911 as I revved up staring him down. Lovely.
