Came of the roundabout at the treacle mine towards hailsham this afternoon and had a civic up my arse, was in the outside lane and he undertook me. Going up the hill where the Arlington turn off is I was bouncing of the rev limiter and couldn't catch him though he wasn't pulling away, pulled into work and checked what speed I was doing and was shocked. Anyone know of a very fast civic it's silver with a black bonnet.

Sounds pretty bad ass to me. Although at the end of the day, he's still driving a Civic. Great sleeper though.

I was up at austec in Crawley a couple of weeks ago and they had a silver turbo civic in. The guys there seemed very impressed with it.

some civics are very rapid but that is no excuse for letting the side down, don't you feel ashamed? a suitable punishment would be that you go out tomorrow & buy a "I love Hondas" T shirt
ps next time you come across him hope & pray it's raining hard then you might show him that the mighty IMPREZA is the car that takes no prisoners
I'll get my coat

No shame in that mate, a fast car is a fast car. I'd say definitely supercharged or Turbo'd though. Seen a few Supercharged civics do low 13 high 12 passes at Santa Pod. I'd have loved to have seen it go, even if it was me chasing it!

OP might like to re-think the wording of some of these posts. This is a public forum open to be viewed by anyone and we would not advise public speak of such behaviours (racing and silly speeds !!!!), nor do we at SouthEastScoobies condone such behaviours

That's insane.

Surely that won't last long, or has had quite some work done!
