Default My Vette eats 2 bowls of rice!

Killed 2 more ricers.

I was on a duel carriageway doing 40mph on the inside lane this Honda Civic Type R comes racing up the outside lane ready to do a flyby at about 60mph so I let him get almost level with my back bumper and I floor the Vette.

He gets left out there as I pull away from him then I move over and take his lane doing about a ton.

Next day another wannabe in a Toyota Celica GT with a big **** off wing on the back. Same duel carriageway only we are about to turn right on to it from the traffic lights. So I line up behind him and wait to see what he does when the light turns green.

He races off taking the right turn as fast as he can, so I floor the Vette as soon as I have in pointing straight the road is only 200 yards until the next red traffic. I go by him like he's stopped and then pullover and take his lane and pull up at the stop light in front of him. He was laughing because he knew he just got made to look a chump even though he was flat out I just flew by.

So the light changes to green and I floor the Vette and put tens cars on him by about 80mph. What is he thinking about he's only got a 2 litre!

Nice (albeit too easy) kills! I did not think you had such a ricetard problem in "Jolly Old England". I always thought that ANYONE into cars at all over there had waaayyy too much dignity for that crap? Big useless wings?? One would think that all of the true enthusiasts over there would drag him out of his TOY and publicly STONE him right there on the side of the road!! Way to put them in their place.

They don't see many Vettes so they think their rice burners are the fastest thing around!

Have the punks there TOTALLY depleted the supply of Escort Cossies/WRCs yet by stealing them and then using them for "smash and run" storefront robberies??! (they DRIVE them right into the front windows, for those who've never heard of this!) BASTARDS! I eventually want one of those things to go rallying.

I personally probably woudlnt have wasted my gas on them.
I guess if that's all you have to race out there, then more power to ya.
Here in the states, it's a little easier as fast cars are a dime a dozen. Hell, even the ricers are getting fast.

That's all most of these kids over here can afford to run high insurance prices them off the roads. If a 20 year old asked for a quote on a Vette in the UK they would laugh at him.

I have a race with a BMW Z4 M last week atheta was a bit closer but I was all over him!

Holy Cow!!! 1.2 liters. Is that even classified as an engine? That sound more like a blender size!! I though 1.6 or 1.8L was funny here in the US. However, 1.2L is crazy small.

Well, I guess I can understand..I think you guys pay like $5.00 a gallon there, if I am not mistaken.

That is all you saw Vauxhalls and Ford Mondeos, crap like that riced out. Every damn magazine over there featured cars that were slow w/ a crap load of wings, bodykits and speakers. It was like a damn cover story of ALI G's rides over there!

Yeah, the sad thing is that the Corsa is a GM GB/Euro product, and actually makes a decent Junior Rally spec/class platform.
