" most ive had out of my car is a about 95mph, i fitted adjustable coilovers and it sticks to the road like glue, roundabouts are no problem, i can easily take them at about 40/50mph"
....until you hit some diesel,mount the kerb and mow down a pedestrian!
Nip along to your local kart track with your mates and then you`ll see who`s fast,and slow,and dangerous....and what are you doing in a Mk3,get yourself a Mk1.

where i live there is a big open buisness park sort of place, just offices and distribution centres, the roundabouts have only like 2 exits and one is either a dead end or entrance to a distro-centre, no pedestrians around and we race in the nights. nothing wrong with what we do, not liek we race on busy roads or anything

"Nothig wrong with that"
except its illegal one day you will grow up.

And the noise these games make will annoy everyone for miles around.
The screeching tyres, exhaust noise, thumping stereos will keep people awake for hours. Sound carries a long way at night. I know becaue I've lived within earshot of kids playing with their toys like that

Is this an attempt to remove liquid waste products?
Male domestic foul springs to mind.

Racing on the highway is not just illegal it's a serious offence which will lead to a long driving ban, possible imprisonment and, for young drivers, reversion to 'learner' status which means you'd need to pass the test again.
If you really are doing 95 mph on the highway, especially if you're only 17, hopefully you'll get caught and prosecuted before you have a serious accident.
If you've modified your Golf in any way, including changing the springs, when you wrap it round a tree (assuming you survive), you'll probably find that the insurance was not valid and you could end up with a bill of tens of thousands of pounds for the injuries caused to your passengers.

In addition to what I said in the post above, the roads on the business park are most likley classed as public highways, and so subject to normal traffic laws.
I'm aware that this could be a troll but I still wanted to reply because exactly this sort of thing goes on late at night around where I live. There's one particular exceptionally noisy car I hear that is driven late at night (2pm - 3pm) around town at crazy speeds - I mean what must be 70 - 80 mph in a 30 mph limit.
On the subject of noisy cars I saw an Audi R8 today. I was surprised how much noise it made - surely Audi, of all people, would try and make a car more civilised and less anti-social.

Perhaps it was fitted with an after market Milltek exhaust, or similar.

You need:
Big ugly home made spoiler for the back
Stick on body kit (but a bit lopsided)
Monster stereo with huge bass drivers
Furry dice from rear view mirror

And some people question why insurance for young drivers is as expensive as it is!
|

Starting with a hopeless overweight turd of a car such as a MKIII Golf wasn't very bright - still, could be worse - you might have bought a MkIV - should have sourced a Mk1 instead. That said - why are you racing on the road?

erm all my modificatoins are declared, therefore my insurance will not be invalid, would be appreciated if people didnt jump to conclusions, i doubt id hit a tree as i can actually drive, i have been on a rally training scheme in one of the summer holidays when i was younger, i only wanted a bit of advice on making my car a bit nippier, but yeah thanks for the sarcasm, oh and if any of you would like to give me the money for a mk1 i would quite happily buy one, and everyone saying its illegal, yes im well aware of it being illegal, AND?????? who here can 100% honestly say they ahve NEVER done anything even mildly illegal in their lives??????

I quite often watch rallying, I like it when they hit the trees or go ploughing into the crowds when they lose it, owing to excessive speed. Shame they don't go on schoolboy rally driving courses.
Please explain the difference between the "mildly illegal" which we all may have done and "uncontrolled adolescent stupidity", which - as far as the public highway is concerned - seems to have pased me by.

On all policies it states your insurance is invalid for racing and rallying so racing around an industrial area will invalidate your insurance,you are only 17 and are not aware of the damage and heartache you can make with a car every week people die through the stupidity of others please do not become one of the statistics

have you noticed they only really crash in tight, gravel tracked forests? whereas im driving on a tarmac road, with decent suspension and toyo t1r tyres? ive already said my car ahndles really well, i have advanced driving experience, and the roads are empty, oh and i meant anythign illegal, something small or something big, everyone has done something illegal at some point in their lives so people should stop being high and mighty, i bet most of you used to race a bit when you got your licenses, or have you always been model citizens?

Not a gravel track in a forest.
Took me best part of two minutes to find this, how many more do you think there are?
"Your car handles very well." How would you know? What experience have you to call on?
"You have advanced driving experience." If you are 17, how much can you have?
"Roads are empty." So what are you racing against?

You are all wasting time and valuable bandwidth repling to this thread in my view.
Either the original poster is winding us up or he is a mindless danger to society and will kill himself or someone else before coming to his senses. If he ever does.
In either case, there is no point arguing with him. A windup is a windup. And if his post is true he will either end up in jail or a mortuary before learning sense.

If you had a car that weighed two tons, forty five plus years old, drum brakes all round, leaf springs on the rear, bias belted Firestone wide ovals and four hundred brake and could take a roundabout at 40/50 mph, then I'd be impressed.
I wasn't going to bite, sorry, I couldn't resist... :)
|

i ahve a car that weighs less than 2 tons, is around 15 years old, has discs all round, and has toyo t1r's with eibach adjustable coilovers, so yes please be impressed

Something to bear in mind when you feel the need to speed, whether on a car park or otherwise. This was conducted at 30mph, not 95.tinyurl.com/32vqzkv
Be careful out there...

Assuming its not a wind up imagine this idiot if his car did go faster.

Hello MrAnderson.
We are inpressed you have a interest in cars and like to race.I used to when I was your age on small motorbikes.I hurt myself sometimes we all did daft things when we where young.But a car is a lot of metal to be racing on a public road even if its quiet.Looks like you have a nice motor well cared for.Take care Mr Anderson be the matrix be with you.Please stop racing.

I'll make two factual observations.
One, I owned a 1994 Golf mk3 for six years. It didn't handle very well.
Two, I have been a teacher for 21 years. In that time I have been to the funeral of 13 students. Twelve of them were 17 and died in road accidents.

Try a bit of karting(the basic rev-and-go type will do) and you will notice when you get back behind the wheel of your Golf that it has the handling/road-holding of a supermarket trolley by comparison.Maybe then you`ll realise that cheap old road cars respond very slowly to driver input.
