I had mine last night when I was pulling up next to an old barina. The traffic lights turn green when i was still rolling so I trompet it then the barina did a big wheel spin and passed me. Im so so ashamed

LOL! A barina?
:spinning out at the traffic lights in the rain, while doing about 60 through a sharp turn . Tried to beat a yellow light and the road was bumpy so i guess i lost traction and did a you'ie... In front of all the other stoped cars
Lesson learnt

Sitting with my ex at the lights talking about something, didn't notice the guy next to me really wanted a go, I accellerated as normal (which compared to most is pretty hard) but was still talking about random stuff and the dude next to me just kept going lol.
Some dude in a Telstar thinks hes got something quick now. lol.

Never really had a defeat hehe
You bunch of hoons!
Edit - Actually no wait, sorry i have had a defeat...long time ago when i still had my FTO. An R32 GTR demonstrated twin turbo and 4wd launches better than an FTO lol.. it was over from start and i didn't even need to rev out 1st gear haha.

Lol.. I have to say I've probably only tried to go anybody like 3-5 times.
And those times I've never really lost cos I don't race if I know I'm gonna get thrashed
The most HUMBLING would have had to be when I was in my friend's brother's STI (It's not MY defeat but still a good story). We're driving along and my friend's bro sees a little sh*tty car coming up, so he floors it a little. Then the car is still catching up so he floors it all the way. The little shitbox then catches up with ease and overtakes us.
It was a familia, with the license plate "UR2EZ".

Hey this is embarassing defeats. Only other thing that comes close is when I found that an autobarn wing s13 non-turbo was keeping up with me all through second. 3rd and mivec soon stopped him but hell man, I though I was gonna get taken by a stock-rim'd autobarn wing non-lowered non-turbo s13 rofl

Apart from being in the car, the worst and most humblling defeat I have had was eventually giving in and saying "Yes, I will marry you then"

I met the guy who owns that barina today and he filled me in on why i lost, its mainly because of the 2.0L Turbo Opel he got out of an Astra. he also has coilovers 17inch wheels and full exauhst so im a little bit less shamed now

tried to race some young guy in a commodore the other day.. i normally kill those old V6 commodores.. but for some reason though this guy absolutely killed me
I eventually caught up at the next set of lights and noticed the little badge on the back that said "V8"
no wonder

I dont have driving defeats, I have mechanical defeats.
Such as the time I changed my front wheel bearings & forgot to put the main castle nut back on.
Watched a wheel wizz past me on the road & thought "Jeeze, I hate to be that guy" before plowing into the bitumen
