Will370z Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Ignore them, and give them as patronising and condescending a smile as I can muster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Mostly they have a sense of humour in my experience I just smile and normally you just get a smile back. Corsa boys tend to leave it alone tbh. I get more grief from actual performance cars like scoobies. Infact TBH the only time I really drive "agressivly" is when someone is trying to que jump by flooring it off at the lights... then i block em in their lane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I used to always MAKE THEM KNOW!! lol But recently, i've started to become picky about my street races.... {cough} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 luckily the situation hasnt come up for me yet... there arent really many good places for a race off the lights where i live. I've noticed that from 4 pages of replies, the consensus is overall ignore them. however, at the risk of throwing the cat in amongst the pidgeons, whats everyones view on overtaking other cars yourself? Is it wrong that i get a kick out of overtaking lesser cars when i can, even when it doesnt really always get me anywhere? I just love the third and fourth gear torque and effortless shove... normally accompanied by a arrogant 'f***ety bye' (a la 'The Thick Of It) as i sail past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manphibian Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I've had it 9 months and still not one single challenge >.< I need to use it more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Builder49 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I normally just look across as they rev their little engines, shake my head slowly and mouth to them 'why are you even bothering' as I shrug my shoulders..... Even had an idiot in a RangeRover sport pull right up my a**e on the A1 today, so I slid alongside a transit van doing just under 70 and turned the cruise control on !! Longest 2 miles he has driven I suspect? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 twobears, being a woman you'll see a lot more of this than the average Zed driver. Also, if Caroline's experience is anything to go by you'll get a lot of middle aged men in BMW's, Audi's, Range Rovers, etc, who will try to bully you by pushing in front of you and/or not letting you in the flow of traffic, in short they'll do anything to prove they are superior to you. Its just a man thing sadly. So true. Mary told me that when she takes the Zed to work she gets the usual BMW or AUDI drivers coming up behind etc but when they get alongside and see her white shirt with the shoulder pips they always panic Prison officers uniform is very similar to police officers! Oh, that's brilliant! Never bothered me. Usually look very bored and wait for them to blast off. We have a few new laws over here to deal the boy racers, which can include crushing of cars for these little muppets. You can also be done for "sustained loss of traction" and a number of other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Stall the engine lol, thankfully I've not done that but the one and only time I've had a muppet (in a VXR incidentally) revving at the lights next to me that's what they did twobears, being a woman you'll see a lot more of this than the average Zed driver.

Its just a man thing sadly. I must be lucky as I've not had any of that! Well, aside from cantankerous BMW drivers that is but everyone gets the arsey treatment from them. I sadly think most people see me in the Zed and assume that I've just borrowed my fella's car. Probably the Nismo kit doesn't help those assumptions either S.

The G Man Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 While they're revving and looking over, give a little prod on your own accelerator, just enough to let them hear it, then, as the lights are still on red, they are still looking at you and then, just as they look up to check the lights, let your car move forward, just a couple of inches, no more, just to make it seem you're going for it...............they'll think that your for the off and the lights have changed, fire off in a blaze of bean tin rattle, through the red light and probably T Bone a bus Works everytime, as you calmly sit there at the red and then move off as they turn green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley88 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Depends on what mood im in really. 9/10 i ignore them, then 1/10 i will smoke them. +1 Sometimes it just has to be done! Got to agree most of the time ignore and play with the evos but sometimes the I just borrowed mums car brigade need toasting. We were all there once though.
