If you are going to fake it.....
« on: March 25, 2007, 22:55:05 »
...don't.

Pull up next to a big black RR Sport at the lights, I clock supercharged grill and and the badge on the rear.

Lights change.....floor Piglet....

Where's the RRS? wait......wait.....wind down window as it finally catches up as I've slowed down....yup, as suspected - a TDV6 :(

How embarassing to be burnt up at the lights by a muddy 10 year old Disco!!

I think the point has been missed. It wasn't so much a case of a wolf in sheeps clothing, but more a lamb in armour.

Supercharged badges don't go on diesels (yet, anyway) and by putting 'em on your just lining yourself to look a bit of a muppet when you get sussed out.  :lol:

I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

A couple of mates were following me to the unit a while back, to borrow something or other for one of them.

As we were heading down the sliproad my mate's mate was leaning foreward and squinting.

"what's that say" he asked "5 litres? never"
"it is" Rich assured him.......



........"so it is, as I dissapeared into the distance"

You try to warn people but they keep trying to come past.

In fact I had another one today, I left him well behind on the roundabout, so not only is my car fast but it handles.
Well as we get up to the end of the dual carriageway and I'm behind the traffic he is trying to come round me.

WHY?

Knobhead, he was about halfway past before he reaised why I had slowed down.  Some people really don't take things in too well do they :?

exactly my argument with those stupid roads where they seem to think that splitting into 2 lanes for traffic lights/islands and then merging back into one lane is a good idea.

"OH LOOK a second lane! heres my chance to pass this slow land rover thats now seemingly stopping me from cutting in... why or how is he still at the side of me?! oh [!Expletive Deleted!] ran out of road and im now on the wrong side"
