lol. ok people speed but 160mph is friggin dum unless its on a track. what happens if u hit a dog or some animal? there is probably good reason why insurance for young drivers is soo high in top-end cars!

DXB - I think the points you are missing are;

1. We were all young once, and I for one have owned or driven every performance car going. And yes, when I was in my early 20's I did some stupid things in cars - but the one thing I didnt do is write it up on a public forum, for all to see - Now that is very stupid. I for one have two children and value my life too much, to be driving round like a prat - which from your write ups, is what you seem to be doing. Sooner or later you ae going to get some responsibilities and look back and laugh at this, like we all have done a various stages in our lives.

2. You are in a very fortunate position, having full use of a £40k car to fly around in - but we do not want to here about every race you have had, how you are an amazing driver, how you have recorded the fasted 1/4 mile at Santa Pod (who cant drive fast in a straight line) or anything along these lines. And when we are not impressed by what you say, dont then start getting abusive(like a spoilt child), saying you are the best driver, we dont go over 100mph etc, that is just childish and ridiculous.

3. If you dont like this go on the american forum, they all loving chatting like children and boasting about their 'kills' - you should fit in just fine.

Please dont take this personally as it is not meant that way, drive safely and have resepct for others on the road and their view points on this forum

Oh and most of all enjoy the car.......safely:rocks:

Damn, why didnt I just say that

[NFS]

I missed all this.

DX335d - is it not your car then?

Spirited driving is all well and good .. we were all young once.

I for one did 120mph in my Ford Cortina 1.6

But the roads were a lot quieter in those days and I didn't have access to a real performance car. Good job too, because I wasn't half as good a driver as I thought I was at the time.

Just stay safe and if you want to really go for it book yourself a trackday or a day at 'Palmer Motorsport Sensation'.

I've done the palmer day twice and I learned a hell of a lot about really driving at the limits of a car. Enough to know that only an idiot would do it on a road.

Funnily enough this is what my friend 'Big Tony' said "speaking a fellow owner of a 1.6 cortina".

There followed a brief demonstration of the cortina's vmax prowess on a long downhill section of the M62, which did indeed register 120mph on the speedo.

I am not certain that this would have been backed up by GPS (had it been invented).

Don't forget that this was in one of the last of the Mark V's with twin Weber Carbs and wooden 'Crusader' interior trim that I got from a scrapyard. :rocks:

You re just showing off now - twin webers, wooden crusader interior...blah blah blah

Sounds like one of the stories like my old fella's and his tuned up Hillman Imp doin' 130mph
Them were the days

howz the difference driving it 'like you stole it' different?

Driving like I stole it just means I red line it all the time.
Doesn't mean I race others on the public highway.

Good video, what size wheels are on that M3 cab(MAT) - 20's, it looks awesome

[dxb335d]

i wasnt out to try and impress anyone just wanted people to hear my story


anyhow, everyone now thinks im a chav twaT so be it...


its a great car and i love driving it every day... like i said its more mine than his! but ys i didnt pay for it and yes i aint on the log book? do i care? no not reallY!!

by the way i used to race karts proffesionally, same karts as a certain lewis hamilton did, never raced him myself as 'we' i say #we' i mean my father only spent 15k a year for 4 years on it, pro karting is expensive, hamilton has had 4mill spent on him in 10 years thanks to ron dennis

we beat many guys spending 100k a year on it!

had great time but run out of money, i can drive thats for sure, dosent mean everyone else around me can, thas why i should be carefull i spose

i aint spoilt NOT ONE BIT

you know nothing my friend

yes i live at home, saving for a deposit currenty

i take no money off my parents,

i have a good job, (civil engineer for balbour beatty)

30k a year is nothing compared to what you guys earn, and absolutely nothing to what my father earns, but its my own money i earn and it aint bad for a 23 yr old

[- Paul -]

30K is great for a 23yr old - you're doing very well.

Just make sure you live long enough to enjoy it...like you said earlier it's what other's do on the road not you that's the problem, spend a day driving down here in Spain and you will see what I mean...good luck with the saving

[mikem]

DXB, I too was earning £30K + at 23 but had the responsibilities that came along with not living at home. If I was in your position, living at home, a house deposit would be the last thing on my mind. I`d have the keys to a C4S and my name would be on the log book.

Why don`t you come along to a `ring trip ? There`s one next weekend, the EvoT boys are going again in July and there`ll prob. be another one Sept. time.

C'mon now this isn't a personal attack in any way, but 3 mins before posting this you said your dad spent £60,000 over a 4 yr period for you to go racing & you also admit that he has practically given you a £40,000 car.

All parents spoil their children & i'm not saying there's anything wrong with it.

But, if you're not spoilt, what do you class as being spoilt then?
