ed9 has a 'poxy 206' thread, so heres my poxy corsa thread
picture this: driving along the dual carriageway, its fairly quiet at 7:30am, and i'm in the overtaking lane cause its empty, and at 65mph i am the fastest thing on the road. so i'm catching up on a black corsa...with a low rear diffuser... and a massive spoiler... and limo tinted windows. i get closer and see his boot is completely smoothed.
however, he's still going slower than me. so i pass into the inside lane(thats the left one) with the intntion of passing him/her/it.. as i draw just about level i realise i am now doing 70 and the bastard is speeding up. the chav wants to race!(i decided they were a chav because i could park my car in their exhaust, and the spoiler would shade half the street on a sunnny day)
so, being a silly man, i took the bait, dropped my 1.8 Bravo into 4th gear, and nailed the accelerator. what happens? nowt tooo good! I get to 80, and the thing is leaving me. imagine racing a supra on a 1/4 mile. it felt kinda like that. by now the mofo must have been a clean 100 yards ahead?
Sense kicks in, so i slow to 70mph again. about a mile up the road i'm in a similar position, except this time they are on the inside and they 'allow me to pass'
as soon as i drew level i realised why. Pftiiishhh! yup, it was turbo'd. not only that, but further enquiries have uncovered the real reason he whupped me SoooooOOOoo badly. He's local (never noticed it before though) and recently has had a 2litre calibra turbo engine stuffed under his bonnet. i'm told he's running 200bhp, but the way it left me sitting at 70mph, i'd have said 400brake, lol.
so anyway, i've sin-binned myself for taking the bait from a suspected chav(although tbh he's not given that he can pay for all that work), AND for letting myself get beaten by a corsa. please dont taunt me, the shame is bad enough. i can only console myself with the fact that its not really a corsa anymore.
