Never been so insulted

Now I was enjoying a quiet drive back from the train station and got to a set of traffic lights. There are two lanes going into one. I pull up and then a Boxster comes in behind, fair enough.

Then a new beetle (complete with frickin flower in the dash) goes into the outside lane and deliberately stops ahead of me to try and get ahead when the lights change.
No frickin way love!!! Off goes the air-con, off goes the TC.

Well I zoom off the lights and she was left standing. The bloke in the Boxster was clearly miffed as well as he shot up her inside and followed me way into the distance.

So yes very immature. I know my motor isn't the fastest about, but dammit it can smoke some flower power hippy beetle off the lights

Lol, I was slightly curious of what a beetle thought it was going to do.... it was the flower that did it

If you see a left hooker with a picnic table on the back than don't count on beating it

I was once driving in a spirited fashion along the A449 when I was absolutely embarrassed by a new shape beetle. Not one for giving up without a fight I engaged warp 9 and began a chase that would take me all the way to Cardiff Gate.

The owner had transplanted a Porsche turbo engine into it. I think he said 2.2 but I was still gob smacked that he was on what looked like standard wheels and brakes.

I'm giggling at the thought of the poor bug driver who just happened to brake a bit late at the lights and was relieved to have stopped before crossing into a stream of traffic seeing a pair of nutters roar off into the sunset!!

Surprised at that, its a relatively simple job to transplant a Porsche engine into an old shape Beetle as they were designed on pretty much the same rear axle, but the new shape has a front mounted engine and would be better off with an Audi lump, in fact you can stick twin turbos on the standard V5 3.2 if you want real excitement!

That's what I thought when I read the thread My Dad did a similar thing to that the other day.

I take great pride in steaming past cars and having drivers do double takes, you can see them mouthing "eh? How do that do that", love it My car might look like a novelty toy but that just makes for more fun
