why oh why do middle aged men in their family cars feel the need to try and race you at every set of lights??
had the misfortune of some fucking moron in a astra 1.7td going the same way as me this morning, at any moment he got he would pull up beside and scream away at the lights,i would just drive normally but still end up behind or beside him again

I like when your turning left and they dont know, you slowly edge forward, little rev, get them going and it goes green, u go to shoot off and they rag it off forward, U turn left

I get loads of idiots deliberately trying to race me. Debadged corsa's with 2.0 Turbo engines have their advantages when it comes to making people feel like morons at lights

How fast are the CooperS models 
My R5GTT kept up with one up to 60 then he edged away. Altho Kat was in the car with me and he was on his own.
