Wahahoooooooooooooooooooo!

Post by Timmo »

Just been out in the car to take pops (in his car) to pick up a matress for my brother as its down my way and pops dropped in to see his grandaughter, case of two birds one stone and all, so he can drop it off on his way home, :roll:
Anyways the point of my post! As i was on my lonesome in the car on the return (which is the first time i havent had the secondry rev limiter in it for a while!!!), i was able to 'Give it some' on the way home!
And My word, i had forgotten quite HOW MUCH FUN it is to crack her off the limiter in a few of the gears! (not breaking the limit as i'm a good boy!!! :D :twisted: :wink: ) oh my wordy the smile on my face sais it all! the wife knew i had been up to mischief when i walked back in!!!
I love it!!! sorry to the nice looking s2 rst! didnt really know what hit him (not litrally hit him of course!!) when the road went to two lanes! and then off the roundabout, and the next round about after another 2 lane stretch! deary me! i kept slowing for him to catch up again!!!! :D :D :D he wasnt looking quite so chuffed as me! heheheh!

so anyways i am back in love with my car again!
Wahahooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The RST IMO is only a usefull tool if it has been tuned a reasonable amount, a standard BX16v will wipe the floor with a standard RST all day long :D .

The RS is an easy scalp but still damn good fun none the less :P there are not many run of the mill cars that can compete with the BX that's why we love 'em so much

Good man Timmo :-)

I especially like, and only just got the 'secondary rev limiter' comment :roll: how true :?

Anyway, after a week or so of driving the Primera I took the BX out to stretch her legs at the weekend, felt great, and so much power as compared to the Primera - being away from it makes you appreciate it that much more, living with it day in and day out, you get a bit used to it if you know what I mean - everyone who owns one should own a mundane car as well!

This is everyday for me :lol:

Todays victim was a jonned up ZX Volcane TD.....he got owned big time!

Couple of days ago I wasted a brand new Ibiza Cupra, guessing it was the TD as it was unless off the line.

Oh, a Merc CLK230K yesterday, couldn't undertake me up a sliproad no matter how much he tried!

And a couple of 325i's a few weeks back.....I had to back off behind one of them or I'd have hit him!

My missus thinks we're going fast in the BX even when travelling under the speed limit :? So now she's officially banned from the beast. :D

Im all excited about getting mine back on the road now, i havent driven one properly for ages, and it wasnt a good one at that. Since then ive driven mundane cars and i really cant wait to get behind the wheel of a 16v again.

Plus im loving the list so far of cars i will be b able to beat :twisted:

hey guys,
i think dan's right, if you drive these every day you might lose the massive smile you get when you floor the gas and see all the extremely dissapointed boy racers in saxo's etc in your rear view mirror. i wonder how these young lads then explain to their girls that "yes the car in front is a 16 year old citroen, that just made me and me revving at the lights look like a t*t"." na you could never get bored with the look of disbelief on all these bmw 320 drivers faces. the bx 16v is one of these cars that doesnt look very fast as standard i think this is why so many people think they can beat it at the lights. its funny when boy racers after being thrashed by one come back for more embarracing moments in front of their friends when further down the road they ask what kind of car it is etc, the best part is when i'd tell them its standard and i got it for free from a mate!!!! :D 8) :lol: :wink:

i really do love it, even though i cant drive it myself, :cry: :cry:

cheers rossco

Hi all. I think the impressive car I ever dusted was a Kangeroo Impreza Turbo. Ok I caught him by surprise but once I was past and applying lots of lead to the go pedal he never got past and looked extremely upset!
