Im only having a bit of fun, personally if someone is going to modify there car they have to be willing to take both good and bad criticism. Loads of people tell me polos are girly, then i wipe the floor with them on the A1.

I thought it was a Cosworth Engine.

Just to clear things up, the car in my earlier post is the latest Nissan/Nismo/RML creation, the 350SR, which has the V6 engine from the 350Z bolted into it in a mid-engined setup. It's predecesor was the very similar looking Micra R, which had a touring car lump in place of the rear seats, I think it was a 2.1-litre flat four from an ex-BTCC Primera racer! 8)

as for the micra, i've never really liked them and never will, but at least hes tried to modify it tastefully without stickers and chrome window wipers!
still an ugly motor imo

Had a Punto SX (probably a 1.2) behind me yesterday near enough in my boot, left him standing on the slip road to the A1 (in 3rd gear I'd like to add) then let him come past me when we were actually on the A1, I knew the GTi would waste him so I didn't bother, racing is about the only thing I don't do, yes I may speed every now and again, but no racing - too dangerous on public roads :D

you havent LIVED mate !!

haha j/k

I know its childish etc etc, but i just cant help myself when on the road and meet a like-minded individual in a motor. :(

i gotta let it rip !

Had plenty of fun on the road, which im sure other people on here have had as well.

To be honest in my opinion, (and i do mean MY opinion) i dont see the point in buying a 'sports' car and not racing it about occasionally. To me thats like your being a Poser, and not in the sense that your showing your car off to ppl by cruising at low speeds, but you might as well have bought a 1ltr and done that up instead, if your only going to do 30mph everywhere. If you have Gti, you should use it like a Gti in my opinion anyway.

Then you have the 'Straight line' kings HAHA Everyone knows if they are one :shock: you know, the type of person who will ONLY 'race' or 'accelerate' hard in a straight line and becomes a granny when turning into a bend :lol: LUV EM !

Then of course you have the people who think there Shumacher, BUT have managed to crash every car theve owned ! LOL

Im sure we have a mixture of posers and straight line Kings on this site :-p

Show yourself people !! haha

(this post wasnt a dig at anyone, cos at the end of the day, road racing = Illegal !!!)
