Me again. Silver ferrari in Cobham. Three times in 2 weeks. Chelsea footballer. Dunno who he is but he's gonna get his face and his ferrari's face rearranged if I ever catch up with him.
I nearly shat me pants. Thrice.

A Toyota Aygo or any of the equivalents. I drove one, it had no power whatsoever so I would be embarrassed.

the customers car i was driving today... a S1 106.... in red/pink/moss was horrible.... the body roll was something else! was actualy scary to drive...

On the way back from the Bristol Mini Day last year my Dad took about 5 1300 Minis in a MK1 998 metro.

I'm not really bothered about being overtaken by anyone/anything, it's just when people are slow on single carriageways and then speed up on dual carriageways when your overtaking them, or when they go round the roundabouts at 20mph then use there modern power and drive off me in a straight line. Not good.

I got overtaken by a Transit the other day, lol

To be fair, he was a total idiot!


I've been overtaken by a National Express coach before now ... !

But that was in a 30 MPH zone - And I was doing 30!



On the plus side - I played with an Aston Martin DB9 today, on the way to work - Went down a tiny little country road and I lost 'im!

(Nothing to do with the fact that it was as wide as the road ... )


He blasted right past me and 5 other cars when we got back on the main road though, lol !

Made one hell of a noise!

Overtaken by........... A CLASSSIC Fiat 500!

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.

that is brilliant, before the days of the mini i had a honda sj50 32mph 4.2hp. on the way home from town one afternoon i caught up with a tractor and after a while we got to a long straight (about 2/3 of a mile long) and i decided that i was going to have him, so head down legs tucked in get as close as i could to the back of the tractor for the slip stream and them poped out, unfortantly it was slightly down hill and the took me the entire straight to pass this dam tractor by the time i got past i was sweating but i had done it.

that make up for the 14 months of been humiliated

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.

i know that car ive seen it in lichfield i overtook it round the outside on an island in my 900cc siecento so you should have no probs in a mini
as a side note i agree with the siecentos and pandas etc i hate mine witha pasion cointing the days till the minis on the road

Whenever my parents see me on the road they overtake me. Doesn't help they have decent powered german cars.
