I thought id post this up as i have just returned from getting some early morning Optimax, and no less than 4 non-RS Clios have tried it on with me.

I was wondering how many RS owners had this to deal with on a daily basis?! Im sure it cant be just me!

i.e. lesser powered non-rs clios sitting about an inch from your rear bumper or lining up next to you...etc...etc

Maybe its just people in Warrington...although i seriously doubt it.

Anyone??!

Jay · Jul 29, 2005

I had a Mazda 3 (TS i think) in front of me this morning trying to put his foot down at every oppotunatey to get away from me. He failed at every attempt

dazraffan · Jul 29, 2005

ive had it a few times its normally corsa drivers try it on though !

team_penetrator · Jul 29, 2005

Happens to me and to be honest I look forward to it.

Nothing beats shaming a chav trying to impress his 15 year old lass in his mums car... Its even better when you dont even have to try...

telford_mike · Jul 29, 2005

Happens with just about every other model of car, but never Clios for some reason.

team_penetrator · Jul 29, 2005

Maybe a V6 is more obviously going to kick @rse?

Rich · Jul 29, 2005

Yeah mine seems to attract all sorts of people wanting to have a go, not normally non RS Clios though.

clarkiev6 · Jul 29, 2005

i get allsorts having a go....M3 gave me the best one..... cant say how fast we went tho!!!!

fizzy_drink · Jul 29, 2005

Ever since the mtoring press went on and on and on about the 182....

.... I feel that now im some kind of target.

That wasnt the case 12 months ago.

clarkiev6 · Jul 29, 2005

dont mind if its a female avin a go ......lol

Clewsy · Jul 29, 2005

No clios, just every other chimp!!!

geoff_clio182 · Jul 29, 2005

Yup I seem to get every muppet in his modded Corsa/Saxo/106/206/Punto etc.... try it on. I dont think any of them have ever been able to keep up.

Kelly_ · Jul 29, 2005

I live near Warrington and I never really have any problems with other drivers. Apart from when they see its a girl driving and then they automatically think their car is faster for some reason. But it never is

come and have a race with me kel???

Gareth · Jul 29, 2005

i hardly get anyone trying it on

Turkish · Jul 29, 2005

Beemers are the most satisfying to pull away from after theyve inserted their front bumper up the ass of your car.

Kelly_ · Jul 29, 2005

Anytime Clarkiev6.

Obvisouly there is some small print to be agreed to this race... you must have 3 sumo wrestlers as passengers, I must have the obvious head start as I am a girl and im sure ill think of something else!

clarkiev6 · Jul 29, 2005

only a 2 seater kel...so 1 sumo wrestler .....lol

George16v · Jul 29, 2005

I get all kinds too mate - Although has to be said most of cars I come across arouns my area (park lane/westminster) are porsches and mercs lol

clarkiev6 · Jul 29, 2005

Ahhh...porky drivers...ok in a straight line but bottlers on the twisty bits...lol

I think its the fact they sit up your ass so you floor it to see how fast the car is.

Kelly_ · Jul 29, 2005

Dam, I knew my cunning plan had a flaw. Ok 1 sumo wrestler but he better be big.

clarkiev6 · Jul 29, 2005

32 stone....lol ok no nos either...hows that??

dubstar182 · Jul 29, 2005

yeah sometimes & its the Honda Civic S Sport drivers that want to race all the time round my area - get over it, you didnt buy a type r!

fUbAr · Jul 29, 2005

i get it all the bloody time, and it drives me crazy. I quite often pull into a bus stop to let them past and pull out behind them, letting them carry on killing themselves.

Chris... you didnt happen to drive past the post office did ya?

/Dan.

Rufstuf · Jul 29, 2005

Everything has a go with me (from cinquecentos to ferraris) since I put the Gordini stripes on. They are a chav / police magnet and may be coming off soon.

clarkiev6 · Jul 29, 2005

i was gonna put nos stickers in my rear window....but decided against it...lol

could hear sirens....nee naw nee naw

Such stamina Geoff, but do any of them race you ???

Mike_SE · Jul 29, 2005

badinvincible · Jul 29, 2005

I was going straight on at a roundabout when I spied a VTR wanting on the first exit last night. He had his side-lights on already and get this – when he pulled in behind me, he turned his fogs on and then proceeded to sit on my arse. Gave the sl*g a bit of beans and he was a little dot in my mirror. I actually pissed myself when he turned his fogs on…

ViolentJ · Jul 29, 2005

Please think before you post, dont turn this into a driving tales thread.

Dan_mk1 · Jul 29, 2005

I always get base model clios trying it, maybe they think because there car is newer its faster

Kelly_ · Jul 29, 2005

Mike_SE, a very good choice of car! Watch out for all the saxos/corsas racing you at every opportunity near Mr Smiths!

I have a question, Subaru drivers always seem to wave to each other. Im sure other car owners do too. But when you see another RS clio do you acknowledge them? Give them a little wave?? I have only done it once and that was only because the lad driving it was gorgeous. Am i being ignorant?!

_Kenny_ · Jul 29, 2005

I have never tried it on with a RS Clio - what is the point? lol

My mate who has an evo 6 says a silly little boy tried it on with him and he was in a 1.2 clio!

Mike_SE · Jul 29, 2005

oh aye, theres plenty of saxos and corsas around here eh! my V6 is quick tho, so they end up as dots in the mirror...! hehe same thing will happen with the Cup im sure

as for waving, i dont think id really do that unless i saw a club badge in the window or something. if they saw someone they didnt know waving, they may just think "whos that loony?" i reckon.

I always let onto other Valvers/Willys/172s/182s if I notice them in time! Seems a 50-50 split of those that acknowledge and those that just totally ignore you.

Got looked at in total disgust by the last V6 driver I acknowledge. Bloody snobs!
