Am I the only one who things the mini is slow as hell? I have a 1.3i cooper. Do I just think its slow after comming off a bike?

Just seems some of these match-ups are a bit far fetched when the mini wins? were the other people pulling away from lights actually having a go?

Anyone see the Top Gear test of the FQ400, from 30mph in 4th gear, a rented salloon (can't remember what euro box it was) beat the Evo to 70, and in fact to the end of the runway, all because of the turbo lag on the Evo. Just becuase you can beat a car off the line doesn't mean its a slow car.

not exactly in the mini(cause im only 16) but i have my little 50cc *cough 82cc race tuned*, which beats most little 1.2-1.4's to 60 and quite alot from the lights but then i top at 70 :'(

but yeh, saxo VTR with his kappa slappa next to him, started to rev it up, looked at me with my L plates and bike(not a ped its more a bike) and i reved it and he laughed. Lights went green left him, he caught me, took me, and then about 30 seconds later, i was driving through thick black smoke and what looked like engine bits...

He blew his little VTR up, french cr*p

Had a Nova try and get away from me a few years back in my old Clubman! His Kappa Slappa girlfriend was egging him on with her arm hung out of the window. I stayed with him for a mile or so before I got bored so I put my foot down and passed the little sod on the outside of a 3 lane roundabout!! His Girlfriend gave him a clout on the head because he let me over take!!
:D :crazy: :o


Swindon Chavs you got to love them i expect she had prison tattoos up her arm and safety pins round her neck as well :D

I drive like a cnut everywhere, dont really care whos beside me at the lights as my cars for my own enjoyment not for beating saxo's with a 3 ton bodykit superglued on and 4 tons of ice is no compitition anyway wouldent be fair on the poor saxo's

i would say to anyone who thinks there cars faster than a chavs saxo or a posh :- ferrari take your car to usc in august because when the flag drops the bs stops



Edited for bad language, please keep it clean on the forum. Thank you.

*cough 82cc race tuned*



Ey up! :o

Wonder how that would of done against my Old moped! I had a 50cc (ahem... 75cc) Speedfight. I cant believe I spent £1000 on getting that Engine tuned either! :D

Anyway, as for the minis racing street style. I dont do too well off the light to be honnest. I keep up, but cant own anybody yet as im running all 998 running gear on a 1275 Block.
BUT as soon as we come to a sharp corner, I can happily stay at my current speed throughout the corner.

As for the fiesta, Nova, Corsa... They get too much body roll and go wiiiide! :crazy:


Bye bye chavs.
