I started this thread on migweb and i was surprised by the answers recieved:
http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=288459
When i had the GSi badges still on my XE Corsa i got v little or no attention from 1.2/1.4 Corsas and Novas and occasionally got the odd VTR/VTS but it was mainly older drivers 25-35 in Audis, Astras, Vectras and Taxi drivers in Diesel Skodas.
Now without the badges i get loads of young boyracers trying it on.

Round my way it's usually some punk in a 1.1 saxo or Mr salesman in his company BMW 318i.

I've experienced a race with the number 80 bus this morning.
Other HGV's and 80 year old Doris on her Mobility Scooter frequently cause me problems.

I get people driving on my ass all the time. Not really any car in particular these days, apart from BMW/Audi's. I always dust them tho. Not had an opportunity with an M3 yet and the ones I have seen on the motorway haven't took the bait

No one has tried it on withthe Cupra yet, when i was in the pug i remember one time, i went to the chip shop for tea, and as i parked up directly in front of me was a tatty xr2i which sounded like a shitty diesel, as i came out of the shop the passenger rolled down his window and said, "here u are mate, what engine's in that?" told him it was a 1.6 16v and he said wanna race? I said nah mate you're alright, they then proceeded to follow me all the way home till we got to some traffic lights, i gave him about two car lengths, set off side by side, i accelerated to about 40 still went past him and left it at that!

There's this stretch of road near me, it's on an industrial estate and everyone bombs it down it, I can get to just below 130mph
Anyway, if a car is driving 30mph down there people will always blast past it, yet if i'm doing 30mph everyone just sits behind nicely 
I must admit, I have my hand on the stick ready to drop it to 2nd and dust any cunt that tries tho

No one tries to race me. But thats probably because I drive a car meant for the over 65's...

Only proper race I had was with a Audi A6 3.0 TDI driven by some black dude who looked like he was in his 30's. No-one else has tried anything.

never really had a road race apart from a chap in a 325 on the way to pvs last year.
I smoked him, then went full circle round the next roundabout so i could do it again.
