I have a blast occasionally, but more times I just let them burn off into the distance whilst I pull away normally lol.......makes them look like proper prats

i had a 106gti, great little car that one
Its the one car that gave me the MOST smiles. The most laughs. The most feeling like I was some rally or race car champion. Against any other car on public roads from light to light acceleration it would beat them all. Every where I went people would give me and the car a thumbs up,... smile all the time and at the petrol station would walk over to me and ask about the car. They were always impressed with that little 106GTi.
Some time back I recall reading in this forum someone who claimed the 5-series is a chick magnet. ie easy to pull women. Hahaha.. hardly. The 106GTi was made to pull the female sex. Honestly, they all warmed up to anyone seen driving such a small hot number. It was never seen as a threatening car to them.
And even though I owned an E34 M5, the 106GTi memories are more and happier and never forgetable than the M5. Its also the ONLY car I regret ever selling. Wish Peugeot kept making it cause I would definately buy one again.. in diablo RED always!!
Do you recall Jeremy clarkson plus 2 race drivers pitting the 106Gti against cars like the M3, ferrari, Supra, GTR and they all voted the 106GTi as the best fun car?
Cheers man. I hope you also enjoyed the car as much as I have.

This is like the the two prats that almost hit several of us in the Mustang at Bear Mountain this past weekend. I'm sure they thought they were racing us but come on 
. Don't these guys realize the only reason we let them pass is to see them crash? It's really fun to see them trying to pry their car out of the back of a pickup further down the road.
