there wasn't much that could keep up with my last engine to 70 - its the only car i have driven where the satnav even struggled to keep up.

All I wanna beat is my dads new rocco r, to the point where I've got a bet with my dad I'll beat him at pod on the quarter. :) haha

Today; a 325i touring.

Had a 5.2l V8 under my feet, though...

[X] nail here for new monitor

Always enjoyed out dragging a Freelander with a merc sprinter van with a trailer and mini on the back, was quite funny.

In fact beating anything with a van is always fun.

Just remembered, i went round the outside of a Ferarri going down paddock hill bend in a mini 7 once.

I didn't see the otehr drivers face as i was hanging on for dear life. :)

everything i have came across with a rolling start, in the dry lol

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

You don't want ESP on in a clio mate,They go quicker without

I drill holes in everything..!

Nothing amazing with my stage 3 engine thought it suprised all my mates when I fitted the head, before I was struggling to keep up with them then once fitted the table turned. I struggle to beat vans with my 850, hopefully things will change with my new engine

Beeting a saxo vtr by a car length in the 1.1 and quite a few 1.4's and a couple of 1.6's.

Wow I have grown up a lot since 2005 I apologise for my posts!!

Anyway since then it has been a standard turbo engine for 4 years and beat many many cars. Couple that I can think of is mondeo st24
I raced a 306 td once and he made me pull over after I completely left him because he was sat on my bumper for ages. He could not believe it he was absolutely amazed. He had a FMIC and was chipped. Lol
I havent beat an impreza yet but I am not far off some of them and they ALWAYS have something to say when I catch up!
also a skoda octavia VRS I beat him a but I am sure it was the diesel 150bhp one.

More power this year

Small beer by comparison with some of the above, but some on here might remember me beating a T5 with the A35 at Avon last year

It's amazing what some a-series engnes can do really, when a mini with a engine coversion beats another car, it doesn't amaze me, it's good and funny etc but when a mini with a a-series engine beats tuned modern day cars, it's brillaint.

I also beat a scooter, wasn't really proud of it but he come at side of me and asked me what I had under the bonnet lmao. He then said what's your top speed, I said "130 mate" then floored it lol, should of seen his face,(well just his eyes) it could only do no more than 105 on the flat

Over the last few days... only my meat...

However, the main thing I want to do once I've got my turbo engine is piss off sales reps.
You know the type, jacket hanging in the back of their company car sitting in the outside lane of which ever motorway they happen to be on.
Whenever I try to overtake them now with my 998 they get penis envy and speed off but once the turbo is done I'll pull up along side them, pretending to struggle and as soon as they go to boot it... bam! Pedal to the floor and a look of shock on their faces. I'm such a child.

My father used to be a sales rep in fact. He had a Honda Accord, jacket hanging in the back and sitting in the outside lane of whichever motorway he happened to be on.

one day boost will be mine!

The first day I had mine I did a 1.8 cav rather poor, then did a few mods and done a mk2 golf gti, shortly after the head gasket went....

Would be nice to get some decent power soon.

If in doubt... flat out! The words of a true legend

i beat a putno sporting in a 1275 on the moterway, and an nsr kept passing me on the way home from work one day i passed him and he stopped and asked wat was in it,

My fav in my old 1275 was on the twisty a civic jordan on the way to newbry was keeping up with him really well got to a few more twisty bits and i was gone loved that shed, i had a good one with a merc c-class amg in france in my dads 335 was neck and neck untill fourth then started pulling away. The week before he took me out and did a e46 m3 by a whisker

i found the '07plate swift 1.3l a perfect match for an all standard mg engined clubby standing start 15-20 pulls side by side all the way upto 70-odd

Yes i moved to the darkside

Of course there was the incident when the actuator line split and I did not realise, when I outdragged a BMW 325 all the way to over 70,from a standing start at lights.
