I was once in my dads MG ZT-T and the fuel filter got blocked with muck. I was nursing it back along an A-road at the safe top speed of about 25mph and I got overtaken by a kid on a 50cc moped. His face was a picture as he went past, he had this enormous grin and his head down like a superbike racer, obviously the months of being battered by other road users for being so slow had faded into nothingness by this one moment of glory. For me it was one of the worst moments of my life.

lmao! All kids on scotters try to overtake anything that moves.

I hate these kids on there hairdryers on wheels.
I have had 7 in the side of my mini (not at once lol).
My boss has got a score board on the wall that reads
7 scooters, 3 bikes, 9 cars, 2 (works) vans.
Only 1 of them was my fault, honest

Anything when I had the Maserati when it decided to run in limp home mode, 10% throttle and 2000rpm max, reached the dizzy heights of 45mph from 370bhp

Probably have to go with the majority and say Fiat Panda or cinqucento... But I also hate it when yu get the saxo,corsa,clio kids egg you on for a race. Is this just me? I have stripes on the car but doesn't mean I want to waste my petrol... Meh!

Oh I hate cinquecentos. My mate has one and it's the most chavvy boy racer car I have ever had to lay eyes on (orange and silver sprayed wheels, stupid bodykit, lowered to the floor, orange scorpion vinyl...). It annoys me that he can just floor it and I don't stand a chance. I don't like being overtaken by HGVs, although that's only started happening recently while I've been trying to drive more economically. Another mate in a Pug 106 beat me when I had one passenger, he had 4 people. I'm not sure what happened, my car just wouldn't accelerate at all. It was horrible, watching him overtaking on the left and pulling back in in front of me (I was on the right because it was on approach to a roundabout). Maybe I'll stand a bit more of a chance when I get a stage 1 kit.

Back to cinquecentos though, I saw one the other day leaving the local mcdonalds car park. It was pink and had just two lads in it. I think that would be one of the most embarrassing cars to be overtaken by. A pink cinquecento, driven by a lad...

I did once beat an audi a4 off the lights, don't think he was paying attention though and he caught me up quickly enough

Kids on peds annoy me so much, they shouldn't be allowed on the road. Most of them are little chavs who want to race everybody and everything, which is dangerous when they're on a scooter with no power.

my mate was trying to show me his 1275 on the dual carraige way, he pulled alongside a 1.1 saxo (standard) and tried to accelerate past him to overtake. The saxo put his foot down and left us

haha saxos are embarrasing, but mainly because most of the ones that do overtake are driven by chavs!

to be honest i have never had any real embarrasing moments, most the roads i drive on are country lanes and i knew them quite well, so not much kept up with me, espec saxos and 106s, only thing that did keep up with me was a scooby, and i got a little toot of apprechiation from him as i turned into the farm drive! haha

I'm currently in a Saxo vtr and i've kept it as standard as possible so when people think "oh another chav in a saxo, watch this.." no, watch this *puts foot down* always shocks them lol But im a mini person by nature just havnt got the funds to keep them maintained 24/7 after the last one haha they do have a bad reputation but they are brilliant to drive mine will do 60 in 2nd at the expense of all the petrol lol, doesnt handle as good as the mini tho

[Black.Ghost]

A Porsche 911. Seriously. I thought the Army landy would do it. Alas, no.

In a Mini I haven't really had any embarassing moments.
