Cinq Sporting VS Bravo HGT

Me and my girlfriend decided to do a bit of shopping in ST.Albans the other day. On the way back we came upto some lights and a gorgeous Bravo pulled alongside. Anyway, He completly thrashed the pants off of my poor little cinq lol. I had got to 40 in 2nd and he was already off down the road at 70mph haha!

I didnt realise it was a HGT at the lights tho...

Cinq Sporting
1.1L engine
K&N 57i kit
Sparkrite alarm system.
Standard all the rest.

I like it Bushboy, honesty! That is unusual compared to some of the wildest competition taken on and "won" on here sometimes!

I don't do this racing from the lights thing but today next to a fiesta I could see the guy thought i was up for it - he made the look and had his mate and two girls in the back - I ignored him then played with my CD player. Anyway, I kepy an eye on the lights and I shot off great start, up to 30, infront of him when the lanes when down to two and it was such a good feeling. Next lights he again pulled up along side of me and this time you could tell he was really going to try and ignored me looking not bothered. So i looked really bothered, giving him the eye, revving etc. then when he pulled off very fiercely - jerky, loud etc. - I slowly took the left turn the other way laughing my head off!

I don't have much fun but playing with idiots like that is quite good! I considered going for it second time but it was a nice fiesta with standard alloys so expected it to be a 1.25 or something and out of my league.I have very good clutch control (been driving off road since 11) but I wouldn't have had a chance against something with more power! I think I embarressed him at least.

I wish I had a pic of his face when I went for it and he wasn't expecting it!

Really! Excellent, good one for Fiat! I just beat a Impreza then took on a Evo 8 (or whatever they are on) followed by a low flying 747, beat him on the curves :P

Or if not we must assume that his girlfriend is at least 21 with a clean licence of 3 years? (these are the conditions required for a passenger to go with a provisional licence driver correct?)

Lol, good, I expect if my dad had taught me i would be driving too quickly without indicating on roundabouts etc. crossing hands like mad, forgetting that there was a handbrake.

ooh you can have lots of fun at the "traffic lights gp" and fix-it put it once i think?? I always take on cars i can't manage but its along striaght flat dual carriageway so its fun. :D
Raced this bloke from college who has a aclio 1.2 and always takes the piss outta my cinq. He was revving his clio up and i just floored it when it counted and blasted past him. he won't be laughing at me tomorrow.:D

Oh and paul.... as for honesty, i think your right! I didn't claim to have beaten the GTi-R i came accross the other week. lol.

I raced concorde before it went out of service in a base cinq

GoGoCinquecento!
