that, and those have a go cunts who get right up your back bumper taking the piss and try having you to go faster. It's almost always a shit car with pancakes for brake discs, or girls with lowered tin cans on halfords alloys and nichikamoosu tyres. Had a guy recently, same fat bastard twice in a week driving a ford ka coming inches behind and making wanker gestures, pointing at my car etc. Clearly had some sort of a grudge. No seatbelt, so the second time he landed on his cockpit. He stayed well away afterwards...
Seems like in a saxo, you'll attract certain types and in other cars you get other types of idiots. I get a lot of 12-14 plate mercs trying to compare dick size whenever driven by those middle age types.

I have a wry smile on my face right now, I've just bought a green mk1 VTS. I was told that I'd be classed as chavvy now BUT I don't give a damn what people think of me.
I'm happy and that's all that matters. Life is just too short to worry about what other people think. You could have pulled up to that petrol station in a brand new Ferrari and you would still have had to listen to verbal diarrohea from that guy.

Dont want to be brake checking a ford KA mate, he'll go right into the back of you. Just sorted a set out on a family members with a fluid change and what not and its still like the pedal doesn't actually do anything unless you absolutely jump on it. Worst brakes i've ever known on a car, and this is with a system thats all working well with no leaks

You've clearly never had the pleasure of a Mk3 mini (or earlier) with drum brakes all round

do metros count? Had some pretty shocking brakes on some of those but most of that was down to just plain lack of care from previous owners which I had to sort out.
I think crap brakes on a mini is kind of forgiveable as they are as old as the hills however they should be shit hot on a 2004 Ford KA at least at the initial bite. Not much weight to stop any way considering its got a special ferrous "self lightening" process going on from the day it left the production line

You had to pump the brake once or twice before it actually 'worked'. Good fun if you had psychic abilities, scary when you're flat out around the b-roads.

No point entertaining those sorts of people.
Similar situation I had in a petrol station, guy was asking questions about the EK9. I just said its standard, no frills or thrills, killed the conversation there and then.

Exactly mate I'm 30 and seem to get a lot of stick lol.
Always get told it's a boy racers car and a 17yrs old car not a 30 years old car l.
Well for starters A: 17 yr olds may have 106 gti,s but I'm pretty sure they don't have a supercharged one
And
B: they make bloody good track cars and that's the plan with mine

I would highly doubt most 17 years could afford the insurance on a genuine 106 gti, more likely a quicksilver with an undeclared swap. That or one of those 3 pot sporty looking fiestas on a shit load of finance lol
