this will kick up a storm, but i was pretty suprised how good my mates 106 was, considering it's just a 1600
p.s. and as Nic Barnes said, i've had a shock off charades too. quick off the mark

A 106 GTi keeping up with me along a straight from a roundabout and me not being able to shake it. Pulled up at the lights to find out that it's just had a 'full rebuild and tune up from Eccosse.' I was just glad it wasn't standard.

It was quite shocking when an ICV on Suzuki Swift went mad on me when I was driving round a roundabout and opened the throttle right up I had to drive a couple of miles back to the garage I worked at with the throttle wide open, braking most of the way back

C20LET corsa was pretty impressive, spinning in 5th is rediculous

Most disapointing car was a 206 GTI 180, very poor for 180bhp.

Heading up a dual carriageway as a passenger in one of my old mans Jags, and I see a Black Corsa in my mirror, my old man puts his foot down a bit more and next thing I know the Corsa has over taken and gone into the distance.
Really surprised me as I was new into the Corsa Scene at the time and had only just passed my test in the Green one.

Few months later the Black Corsa came up for sale and I bought it

A remapped M3 with a full supersprint system. Floored it from some lights with the traction off, arse end sliding sideways towards a Smart car coming the other way. The womans face was a picture.
