Has anyone tried to race you or tail gated you?

I have a fella in a Merc C Class tailgating and mouthing words at me. I just carried on driving as usual and came to a round about. I went right he went left, but I looked in the mirror and saw him mouthing obscenities.... It was a pimped up C Class. No idea what model.

Other than that it just general head turning....

Has another on here been in a similar situation in their GT86?

Nope.

Had an AudiS3 race me off the lights whilst I was running in - did stab the throttle a little which made him floor it and then let up in second gear whilst he disappeared into the distance -, was also tailgated by someone in a 53 plate E55 AMG who horsed it passed me - I was driving normally - Its gonna happen with the GT86 as it looks the business...

 

[Ade]

Yep. Im still waitnig for my first encounter with a Clio.....

Haha must admit I smoked an A4 today coming out of a roundabout. I was the perfect distance as I entered the round about, gathered speed and floored comming off right behind him onto a dual carrageway. Must have been donig 20MPH faster than the A4 as he puffed smoke out trying to stop me going around the outside

I'm still a child at heart....

whilst the 5 of us were out yesterday an [email protected] soft top was trying to keep up with us...they only succeeded when we stopped at road works ...

I was tailgated by 3 different GT86's yeterday. Only facial expressions I saw were grins....



None of them tried to race me though....

1st roundabout usually separates Hachiroku from the poseurs!


I did exchange smiles with a guy with an impressively Islamic beard in an MX-5, who tagged along with me for a couple of roundabouts. But as you might expect, it was all terribly good-natured.



It does turn heads though.

Well the MX5 is also the fun car and not taken too seriously whereas RS3 drivers just want to outdrag everything.....

Let them win...

It just makes them feel more insecure, knowing they drive a less satisfying car...

I've had people slow up behind me then pull up alongside me and stare but no one wanting a race.
When I'm on a dual carraigeway I drive nice and sensible and I had two guys in a BMW overtake me looking at the car yesterday and they turned off the A10 in front of me at the junction where I was going too. As we came down the exit route to another roundabout I gave it a little blast, went past them then threw it round a roundabout in VSC with the a*se out a tad. Thats what a GT86 is for.

Excellent post

As they say it's not all about power

It's all Bodie and Doyle on roundabouts though!

I've not screeched so much since my Mk I Escort van!


It's childishly amusing!
