haha :') i love people trying to race me, as soon as your aproaching a corner they all brake like a *****!
i have the same problem every time with semi powerfull cars (130-250hp) once they see that RS badge there like :eek: must past him -> and then comes a corner and i see them becoming very tiny in my back view mirror

everyone can drive fast its just pushing down the pedal, driving fast in a corner is a work of art

haha :') theres a nice one on my way to work everyday people are up my arse before it, and a tiny dot in my mirror after it and you only have to go at about 40 and people seem to get scared, its easily doable at 60+

There's 3 corners where I live and people crap themselves going round it at 50. I can wack 80 round them :D

Exactly ppl in our country think like this "i have an expensive car with "alot" of power (+/- 180HP or more) i can overtake everyone" with it and then think they can outmatch our cars cause its just a "renault" and it has some sport badges on it :evil: and then the fun begins ;)

they overtake you at a straight followed up by a corner, then they take the inside at granny speed so you fly past them in the corner on the outside going 10-20 km/h faster, after that they mostly dont dare to pass you anymore if they where "showboating" ofcourse :lol: i had this situation a couple of times at one of my favorite corners check link of google maps "A12" is the big round corner, btw that area with all its big turns i <3 it in the summer

This is funny, because I spotted today new Megane RS in white too (Megane 3 RS are pretty rare where I live, that might be first one I saw outside dealership, actually), I've drove past it and he changed lane to mine, then followed me for a while :).
There is this funny thing... bound or smth between drivers, as they were saying "You've bought the right car, bro" ;]

haha :) the best are people who bought cars like c2 vts cause its pretty nippy straightline then, vroom past em round the bends

C2 doesn't stand a chance :) https://www.zeperfs.com/en/duel1240-1889.htm

To be fair, the C2 VTS is not BAD round the twisty bits compared to most things on the road. It's just that the Twingo is bloody brilliant!!!
 
I think its bloody hilarious owning an rs twingo now! Im 28 years old and i can drive and its hilarious suprising other cars its like they think a twingo rsbis a 1.0 or something! I mean to me it looks lije a proper sports car! Its waay slower than my old vts but to the naysayers on here an rs twingo laps the 13 mile nurburgring 13 seconds slower than a type r or corsa vxr!
 
I think the Twingo definetly isn't the slowest car around.

It's torque surprised my mate the other day...then again, he does drive a DC2 and they aren't exactly known for torque :lol:

I feel like it would run rings around my old C2GT, without any issues what so ever.
 
I bet that these people with their Corsa's Unlimited Edition's talk about the same way on their forums..

"This other day, I beat this guy in his chavy Twingo RS" :lol:
 
I was quite surprised when a Skoda Fabian VRS came along side me on a dual carriage way off a round about (soon as he saw me it was obvious he was gonna go for it) and from 2nd through to me having had enough (not wanting to loose licence!) he did not get even level with me.

I was under the impression those Skoda's were quite quick so I was happy.
 
Was it a new one? I test drove one not long ago and down the dual carriageway to the garage I couldn't get it to hit more than *8 before passing a lamp post as a marker. The 133 will hit the same speed in the same space without a run up. Which surprised me as there's a lot of them which have run 6.9 to 62 in various places. And it felt quicker
 
Ha brought one down with a thud the other night, a old school corsa bit the dust an then at lights wound his window down and said "nice car what you running 2litre... My reply was of course no, which lead this response "f me I couldn't catch you and mines a 1.8"

I thought a 1.8 Sri corsa would have been better :)

the 1.8 sri's are only 126bhp, they are proper slow really, vauxhall could of done a lot lot more with them. we got a few round here that thought there corsas was something special til they met the 133 :D i do miss that
 
VRS was on a 55 plate as far as I could tell (as he didn't get close enough for a proper read lol)
So must have had vag diesel lump in.
Think new ones are all petrol, I really like them but prefer the more compact size of my 133.
