Humiliation!

Okay, picture the scene:

 

I walk in from work at 8.50, 'phone ring, it's my mum telling me that they've been without 'leccy for the last 23 hrs, can they borrow my genny.

 

No problem, put 2Kw genny behing the passenger seat with the seat back leaning forward so as not to scratch the leather.

 

So off I go down my country lane and up to the M20, join the M20 put me welly down upt0 100, pass everything and keep going, then I notice in my mirror light approachiong very fast from behind, 'feck, plod' back off to 80 and see what happens. Calibra passes me, not plod at all, ba$$ard, welly down, bye, bye Calibra at about 125, back off, point made. Sure enough Vince the Vauxhall goes stormin' past thinking he's the dogs danglies. Never mind I'm leaving at the next junction.

 

Off at the next Junction and blow me who's in front, Mr Calibra Turbo and he's stopped at the lights. Follow him upto the round a'bout from which he dissapears like a scalded cat. This is where it gets difficult, what I haven't said is that I'm holding this genny with my left hand so that it wont move around, it's on wheels you see, and steering with my right. He's off up the road through the 'twiddly' bits like a demon, I keep up to the first corner and realise I need both hands to take the bend!!

 

Anyway to cut a very long story short, I have to back off and this sod's gone off to the pub no doubt to tell his mates he's just whipped a 300 - B*ll*cks!

 

To make matters worse when I got to my mums the f'ing power's back on!

 

I give up!

 

Tim

 

PS sorry it's so long winded just had to get it off me chest, girlfriend wasn't interested.

yeah i hate that, im in 5th gear at about 3000rpm and a cossie comes bangin up behind me, so i move over and of he goes i drop down and start chasing , anyway come up to traffic lights and he tuns left the b$sard

What pisses me off is when your in your daily

run around shitter and a potential burn off

situation arises, helpless!

 

Ian

biggrin.gif Precisely why I'm modding mine to fuck!!! After an encounter with a GTO I was not happy!

 

Too evenly matched, and I don't care what anyone says about figures, bhp at the rubber etc. He wasn't getting away but I wasn't getting past!!!

 

So get the edge, and as for Calibra Turbos...fuckin' WANK mate, me and the Bro took one out and it was arse!!! 0-60 not bad but chuffed like Ivor the fookin' engine from over a ton. Audi coupe N/A we took out before that was more impressive...steamed to 130 no worries...some cars are so over rated and obviously some are real sleeperZ!

Yer missed point..

 

I could have taken the ba$$ard but I was driving one handed trying my best to keep this genny, I was carrying, upright in the back of the ZX and not letting the seatback bang back as it would have damaged the leather.

 

I've no doubt I could have taken him, I just needed both hands to do so biggrin.gif

 

Tim

I would not worry too much TT Tim because the next time he tries it with against a 300 he will get his arse wiped and look a chump!!!. I don't think I have ever been out in my car without some berk trying to get me to give it some. This is probably worse with my car being red ( like waving a red flag to a bull it seems!!). Perhaps I should re-spray it Allegro light brown!!

Try being female in a flash sports car. I either suffer from invisibility syndrome or pratts in souped up biscuit tins attempt to come hammering past me. Many try....few manage biggrin.gif

 

Have one friend who is 6 foot odd and loves to sit in the backseat waving at all the disappearing car specks smile.gif

6ft and loves to sit in the back seat!!

your friend must love being bloody uncomfortable aswell Ajay!!. I struggle getting my baby daughter in the back of mine.

 

What colour is your Zed Ajay?

 

Simon H

 

BTW Many try......few manage!!! (is this the female motto!! LOL)

Ah, he lives with it for the privilege of sitting in a Zed. cool.gif He does tend to end up sprawled over both back seats though! smile.gif

His daily drive is a Saab....nuff said. Although that can go in its own right.

 

My Zed is Aztec Red, colour code AJ4 G. Not that I know, or anything biggrin.gif

 

 

hehe...motto should be "Many, many try and so few manage...."

 

A friend of mine once suggested that I take the motto of "Whether you're looking at the car or the girl, STOP, cause you can't afford either!" biggrin.gif She even made it into a sign for me... rolleyes.gif

Hmmm, well that just suggests that everyone has their price ! wink.gif

"Whether you're looking at the car or the girl, STOP, cause you can't afford either!"

 

I suppose it depends on whether the bloke has a huge wad (ooer!!).

 

My other half has got "when god made man she was only joking" on her number plate!!. Typical female!!!LOL

 

Com'on Ajay we want the pics!

 

There is just toooooooo much testosterone on this forum.

 

Tim biggrin.gif

Hi folks,

In my 3 months of Z ownership, I've had only four people trying ro race me.

First, a Saab 900 turbo who's ass I kicked badly. He was shocked how fast the Z was but took losing quite well-even complimented me.

Second, BMW M3 along a narrow country lane...ok he just beat me but I'd only had the car a few days and wasn't that confident and I'm sure you all know that the Z isn't great with these twisting country lanes..besides the M3 is f'ing fast and he know the lane very well but however, he didn't beat me that badly so all in all...understandable.

Third, a Mercedes SLK something with his bird. I let him set off first and then put foot to the metal and left him behind. It was too easy.

Four, a BMW motorbike of some discription or other with pillion. He was in front of me on the right lane of a two lane road so I accelerated after lights went green and moved over onto the left lane to overtake but he almost leant onto my right wing around a corner so I had to brake until the road straightened up and then I left him for dust. That was quite funny because of the cars waiting at the traffic lights. It must have made there day seeing a car thrash a motorbike. I would try this against a Honda Fireblade though 'cause they'd make me look stuuuuuupidddd.

I'm prepared now but nobody in Derby really wants to try......could be because of the TWIN TURBO sign at the back which puts them off. biggrin.gif

Could always remove them I suppose ;-)

 

Laterz,

Van

Van, get it debadged. I have all I have left is the 300zx on the rear panel and I'd like to lose that as well.

 

I get a lot of 'what's is it then?' mines an import so all it's got is a Z on the bonnet and steering wheel.

My personal favourite has got to be "Just remember, you can be replaced with 8 inches of rubber and 2 batteries" biggrin.gif

Yeah I know...and apparently you're all hateful gits as well as being little boys and...uh...in a clique...and everything else mentioned earlier. Not entirely sure which forum she was on...maybe TT Net biggrin.gif

 

And the pics are for an elite audience, only biggrin.gif hehehehe....

DISCLAIMER :

 

That was not a dig at TT.Net, just that some people on there would eat us for breakfast after some of the comments that have been made... biggrin.gif

"My personal favourite has got to be "Just remember, you can be replaced with 8 inches of rubber and 2 batteries"

 

Yes my wife has said that one Ajay. I just reminded her that it won't get a round of drinks in and mow the lawn afterwards LOL!!

 

 

 

*Most* people on TTnet would eat us for breakfast... it's taken me this long to get the courage to start posting on there! (i.e. the stage where I can answer questions instead of ask them!)...

 

Hmm... 8inches of rubber and two batteries huh... Damn we can be replaced so easily! Oh well.... No hope for us men then - might as well give up now lads! biggrin.gif

 

From all these posts you come out sounding like a right man-hater/eater Ajay.... wink.gif

wink.gif I was thinking that...LOL biggrin.gif

 

Oh I feel soooo chuffed now that Ajay made the effort to meet up with me so I could see her nice car.

 

Keep 'em guessing girlie...LMAO! biggrin.gif

 

300ti1.jpg

Hehe TT Tim! smile.gif

The only distinguishing marks my car has is also the Z on the front and 300zx on the back. I love it. VERY few people know what it is.. but you always get those smart arses that say to their mates (and YES everyone does look and everyone does wonder wink.gif - but you lot already know that) ahh its a 300zx. Err right... you saw it written on the rear panel and YOU still aint got a clue what it is hehe.

Just spent a couple of hours polishing me Zed tonite and I fell in love all over again. I have unnatural feelings for my car LOL

Make an effort man! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
