Too true! I've had many hand gestures from petulant cyclists who blame me for getting in their way, regardless of whether it's safe. The day will really come when some cocky lycra twat bangs my car as they pass by. We've joked before that it would send the rage off the scale!
I had a woman cyclists try and get me the sack and police involved....at a t I let the woman go...she said I tried to run her down...CCTV on the vehicle saved my job and whatever else she was after...I hate these people with a passion. There are places for these morons to go and ride safely but no.
This so called woman was in her 40's/50's and as I drove past her she was calling all sorts of names at the vehicle...so 30m away was a traffic light...I stopped, got out and asked what her issue was?? She instantly got the public at the red light involved and got the support because I think her age and gender so I backed off, got in the vehicle and carried on my day (30 mins later) phone call from the office asking what has happened and she is calling the police and has the reg....never got pulled over and office viewed the CCTV as soon as I got back, wasn't aloud to leave the yard because my own work mates where going to back this woman. Shocking how a simple t in the road nearly ruined my life because of these idiots and really shocking how people I've know for years would have trusted the word of this moron. Let's face it, none of these morons are going to be in the tour, let alone the half arsed attempt at peddling in there super tight clothing... clothing that I find very offensive and tbh I ask myself what their partners think of it all.

They are cwnts & out to get us framed. I had a cyclist under cut me on a roundabout & when I slammed my horn he put up the bird & smuggly tapped his GoPro. I was livid so gestured to my dash cam & put out a fully extended middle finger with a fk u reply.
It really is tough just to enjoy driving.

Have any of you guys gone up against an rs3? From 60 onwards I mean. 0-60 is shockingly quick but from then onwards...not so quick I found.

Catch can plumbing next - It looks "shite" as it goes :-(
 
A thourogh scrub inside and out, oh and a custom remap :)

She’s gone from originally 110 when new, first run on Dyno was 97 :( then hit 144 before they called me to pick her up. 299lbs torque. I know I’m light years behind you guys but what a difference I can feel for £300.

Let’s see if she holds together.

300 pounds of torque!!
That is going to blast you out of corners. Good figures. You must be bouncing.

Not properly tested it yet, Sparky. Had my son in the car for the return trip then been out this evening. Good chance of some personal bests on the drive to work though I’d imagine. :D

Paul at Volks Workshop said they get more gains from the lower powered diesels 90 & 110 than they do the 130 & 150s.

Can concentrate on the bodywork bits now the map itch has been scratched.

True. It’s such a huge difference when cars are mapped. Like having a new model. Pukka
