Grey FC (through street towards Bridgewater)

chrisJDM · June 09, 2006, 10:24:38 PM

Was driving along in the gfs 106 quiksilver and see a FC up ahead just going up Street bypass, catch up and pull along side him at lights hoping he would at least give it a bit off the lights. I pull away and he doesnt even bother, followed me out towards ashcott on the Bridgewater road then stopped in a old garage. Anyone off here???

Was quite possibly my old FC, owned by Retrobate on here. Did it have a large single exit exhaust?

h*** kmo that the reg??? didnt think i should put the full reg up

yeah that sounds about right - did it look like it would never reach 100 mph on the 1/4 mile - if so then its DEFO retrobates car

chrisJDM · June 10, 2006, 09:04:14 AM

lol y is that?

sounded beastie but didnt really push it much was going slow or was that as fast as its goes :wiggle

just joking matey

me and retrobate were supposed to be running against each other at RSIII , the weather soon put a stop to that

have a look at the sticky in the 2nd gen section about the 100 mph challenge - it will all make sense then

Thats the correct reg :yes And in answer to why he didnt leave you for dust its probably :-

a) Couldnt be arsed
b) Had a headache and couldnt take the additional noise
c) Knew it was going to cost him Â£8 in petrol to \'see you off\'
d) Its broken

Yeh yeh yeh, Ok guys it was me!

In answer to your question, you should consider yourself lucky â€" few people have ever seen the TII being driven sedately! Also, I was probably being shouted at for a) saying the sat nav was wrong, I know where we\'re going... and then getting lost, and b) driving too fast in the first place!

Also had a scary moment later involving an Elise and what I thought was a police van...

Not the best pic in the world, but hey, it holds fond memories!

well i was in the misus\'s 106 quiksilver so didnt think i would bother tryin 2 keep up wit u just thought i would see if you would think some boy racer was tryin 2 take u on and give it some stick lol, im sure if i was in my rex you would have given it a bit more effort.

Did you get lost??? you went up towards the way i was going then turned around.

Yeh, i think we were looking for some random coutryside pub where we were meeting people at that point â€" there was lots of slow driving and plenty of turning around going on, i can tell you!

If i see a 106 quicksilver around again, i promise to give it some next time! :burnout

lol well, if i see a 106 and it\'s not you driving, then it\'s your fault if your gf comes back in moaning about the reckless driving of RX owners!

btw, I work in Bath and live about 5 miles south, in Dunkerton.
