My cars faster than yours , so ner

[Cableguy]

Went for a curry last night and one of the staff must have heard some surge or the exhaust, either way he immediately puts his top gear spiel on.

"Whats in that mate" - i told him it was a 1.4 to start with until someone with me told him to try it next time he sees it about

Then he comes out with , in his smug voice "will it beat a 330ci thats been chipped"

I quite modestly replied with "most likely"

He then gets the defensive on ( only at this stage did i realise he was on about his Y reg bog standard 330ci outside the window ) by stating his car is .... wait for it..... 450 bhp as its been chipped

Tried to tell him that theres no chance , and thats quite a bit faster than an M3 , he then moves to the fact its "not the original engine though"

Oh well , best one ive heard in a while so thought i would share

[rovermadman4825]

Well you better keep an eye out for him and tell us when you have knacked him lol

I nearly got wrong off an officer in da army coz he couldnt keep up with me and he was in his BMW Z4 one of those 2.8 v6 things good job the lads on the gate knew me or i would of got a good arse chewing off him when he caught up lol

[alexcornwall]

Find it quite irritating when people lie about their cars, so futile. Still generally it ties in with the person sharing their genes with a brussel sprout. I hope you humoured him with a nice smirk/laugh?!

[matt077]

had the same thing sunday night, car pulled up next to me giving it all the big one, " 2l turbo 240bhp car " and so on, all i did was look at him and had it off with him, lets just say i wiped that smile of his bloody face!

i love it, makes me laff how people lie then back fires big time on them!

[Richard_is]

He probably had one of the e-bay electric turbos under that hood..

It is quite funny when people underestimate my car though.. Especially all the guys in thier Subarus or expensive 'sports' cars

lol them electrice turbos, you can hear them a mile off, they like henry vacuum cleaner

i dont know who is worst, a subaru driver or a bmw driver?

[Richard_is]

My Dads a WRX owner so the competition is fierce and I'll go with Scooby owner being worse.. just because they think they know everything... and naming your car Scooby, after an annoying spotty ginger guy from a cartoon is never good!

[200coupe]

all i did was look at him and had it off with him

That's a bit harsh wouldn't it have been better showing him how quick a t16 turbo 25 can be?
couldn't resist!

Scooby was the dog?

Shaggy was the guy.

[C2K]

Should've raced him for V5's.

Hahahahaha...! Oh yeah!

But that makes it even worse!

Cheap shots are the best:D

[BlueRover]

I thing a car called Shaggy could be interesting, especially when the girls ask why..

[Richard_is]

Maybe I'll get my Rover sign written with Shaggy.. like the big yellow van from Kill Bill

[black_sunrise]

450bhp haha i would have laughed sqare in his face.

arnt 330Ci's about 200bhp ish?

[Cableguy]

231 bhp and nearly a second slower to 60 than a standard coupe turbo , never mind something with one or two mods

[alexcornwall]

I had a tickle with one in my standard turbo and it kept up with no apparent issues... so they're not exactly dog slow, must feel remarkably boring in such a well refined car tho

[Cableguy]

Oh agreed they arent dog slow , but they are far from fast. Just a big heavy cruiser ( 1500 kilo )

They arent that boring either tbh , we have a convertible version ( 1650 kilo ) in 318 guise ( 150 bhp ) and that isnt that bad really.

[agw_01]

330ci/d will keep pace with a standard Rover Turbo no problems.

Depending who gets the better start dictates whether the BMW driver ends up with a red face when he discovers that he can't get past

After my turbo/exhaust upgrades, I took great pleasure in catching up (while not once going over the 70mph speed limit I must add) and proceeding to overtake a 330ci, allowing him to take a damn good look at my 418SD badge when we slowed for the lights at the end of the carriageway.

He had quite a large lump in his throat.

[alexcornwall]

as per usual for me, bad usage of words, I dont expect they have the same feel of speed/fun as the rover Meant to be awesome awesome cars. i was looking at them myself but just thought i'd miss the thrills hence buying a car with widowmaker tendancies

[southside]

Was he a Bhangra Barry by any chance?

[Cableguy]

Was he a Bhangra Barry by any chance?

Yes lol

[Null_Byte]

BMW drivers, you can't expect much really...

M3's aren't exactly that quick either.

I think my answer to "will it beat a 330ci thats been chipped?" would of been "Why would I care?" followed by "Where the feck is my curry?"

[paul888]

Don't know about the 330 ci but had a blast against a 330 d and it was quick .

Lot of bull$hitters about tho when it comes to conversation.

[Din]

I think my answer to "will it beat a 330ci thats been chipped?" would of been "Why would I care?" followed by "Where the feck is my curry?"

I think that would have been my reaction too peaple who have no idea what they are going on about and still try to get one over on you really do my nut...... you can tell right from the start of the conversation so you just have to try and end it as quickly as you can

On another note, i had a bit of a blast up the duel carridgeway a few months back in a 330d e46 with about 80,000 miles on the clock, started from some lights next to a P plate imprezza turbo (big wheels, loud exhaust, dump valve etc) i was neck and neck with him at first....... then i went past, and he was giving it the full beans

The 330ci is a very nice car to drive, would only have a coupe M sport mind.... very responsive and almost bullit proof, although for me, i would be much happier in a Ti

[Pegasus Turbo]

Hi Folks,

Oh yes. I do love passing "those superior cars". Theres nothing worse then a merc/bmw/audi owner who thinks he king of the road then getting left behind.

Prior to to the T16 transplant i had efi with K&N induction kit, cold air ducting, full janspeed exhaust, rover 216ecu, poly bushes, 2" lowered/uprated suspension, 16" alloys.

One particular night i was on some backroads and a Range rover sport pulled out in front and floored it. I booted it not expected to be anyway, but much to my surprise i kept on his tail. He couldnt get away because of the bends. So i kept up with him till i turned up off at my junction. So funny.

[BrackenFox]

BMW drivers, you can't expect much really...

Oi!

[stefaclese]

BMW drivers, you can't expect much really...

Oi!

Not going to tell us all how fast your Bimmer is y0?

[BrackenFox]

Not going to tell us all how fast your Bimmer is y0?

Fast enough to be fun, and balanced enough to handle very nicely indeed, that's all I care about. Not going to out drag any Coupe turbos anytime soon though.

[Null_Byte]

BMW drivers, you can't expect much really...

Oi!

Steve, we all know you won't keep it long enough to qualify as a BMW driver

This may be true.

.

Ive never come against any in my Rover Turbos ver the years but my mates 330d (chipped 222hp on MO RR) was easy prey for the Ep3. I was worried, till we had a play at many speeds, and it was so easy , i was literally toying with him. Cant imagine a stock Rover Turbo is that much slower than a JDM EP3.

Dan...
Shouldve just


Haha

You would be surprised, ive lost nearly 7 stone

[shen]

My usual way of dealing with people who are chatty and like to spiel crap is... 'get in and i'll take you for a drive'

Nice and friendly like


You can tell afterwards just how fast they think their car really is then
