the other day i seen a guy driving round street in a silver one so theres about 4 or 5 now lol.  Trouble is you dont see hardly any decnt cars round this area, never see any skylines, you see scoobies and evos but not usually modded just standard.  Need to get some decnt modded jap cars in this area, all we get at mo is novas and corsas and crap lik that, im sure if i went up 2 birstol on a firday or sat night there would be alot more decent modded cars.

Im jsut fed up of the chav boy racers round here.

Not really, couple of Liners nothing special.  just the usual chav junk, and under powered french german things.

had fun destroying a clio v6 the other day, made me chuckle.

We\'ll have to organise a somerset meet considering there seem to be a few more around now!  I know the sight of another rex gets me all excited!

He was planning on selling it, I think he tried to but couldn\'t find a buyer so decided to keep it! sensible lad.  I know he\'d be up for a bit of a mini meet.  Plus I know a couple of peeps from Bristol that may be interested.

If you ever fancy meeting up for a bit of a cruise, compare notes etc give me a call 07976 548698

Little white RX7 Series 1 living on farm on Exmoor!  Will probably put paid to little white Series 1 living on farm on Exmoor too - way too much mud!!!

I have also seen a dark green series 1 near Tiverton, or are you just looking for FDs?

Post by: ChrisDubbya on June 14, 2005, 02:20:32 PM
I don\'t have that problem, Frome must be full of sensible chavs because they just tend to look at me in their mirrors and signal, pull over and let me by :confused:

Just can\'t understand it :p

Seems to be lots of boy racers in Taunton.  Always trying to pull away faster than you at traffic lights.  I just smile quietly to myself.  My little car may be 22 years old, but...!  And its not even running at full capacity at the moment :(

Post by: chrisJDM on June 15, 2005, 09:15:14 PM
thats the trouble with mine, the first turbo isant working at mo so is running no where nr what it should, quite funny of the lights they sometimesget a few feet ahead to start with and then at 4500 revs the secons turbo kicks in and i fly straight past them.  some cars keep up wit me thou, lik a 306 gti6 kept up with me the other day, so he will b tellin all his mateshe can keep up with an rx7, i would lik 2 seehim keep up when i got it sorted, just cant afford it at mo
