    Not me, the burberry baseball capped twat in the vaxhaul nova with elastic
    bands for tyres and a spoiler the size or a hippos arse on the boot door,

    he'd been 'racing' me along the A610 out of nottingham for some reason, i
    stick roughly to the speed limit in the specs zone, he's on my inside all
    the time matching my speed, get caught at every fucking traffic light, but
    each time we pull away, he only falls behind when he's changing gears, then
    catches up.

    Gets to the bullwell roundabout and the end of the specs zone, i get upto
    70, he does the same, i try 80, he's still there on my inside matching my
    speed and giving me the evil eye when i look to the side.

    at a ton he's still there, stop for the watnall roundabout with the lights
    on red,
    same thing happens on the short bit to the M1 roundabout, and i notice he's
    changing gear at the same time i do now so not falling behind as much, (yes
    i am using the clutch too, cant be arsed just letting the throttle off and
    snicking it up a cog)

    So after the M1 roundabout i get into 2nd gear and he's still by my side, so
    i just open the throttle, get about 75 or and still within the red line,
    he's tried to do the same it seems, his engine is positively screaming, i'm
    sure i can hear the valves bouncing, 2 seconds later there's a big metalig
    bang, and a real horrible screaming noise (that might have been from the
    driver not his engine)
    and he lays down a smoke screen a trabant driver would be proud of (actually
    it looked more like what you see on D-day films on the beaches)

    He's rapidly slowing down now as you'd expect, so i slow down to match his
    speed, he dosent like that and starts pounding his steering wheel and giving
    me the finger, so i keep going, but i so wanted to stop and laugh as he
    lifts the bonnet and see's bits of engine internals embedded in his
    radiator.

    Just had to share that, i'll go back to being silent now.

  4. I'm amazed he could match gear changes. Fuckall cars I know can do
    that to a bike. Even with the terminal consequences.

  8. It's quite interesting when the reverse happens innit? A mate of mine
    a while back bought a second hand Sierra Sapphire Cosworth RS500. Rare
    as hen's teeth here in Oz, and the thing was tweaked as well. I was
    following him home on my Blackbird and knew as we came out of a speed
    limit area that he would put his foot down to test me so I dropped
    back a couple of gears. **** me, I had to drop back another gear to
    keep up with him. That was my first inclination as to how fast the
    bloody thing was. So I bought it off him :)

    I had a test bit of road near my home (I was living on a remote beach
    at the time, about 45km out of Tasmania's capital, Hobart) and the
    best I could get the Blackbird up to on this particular stretch of
    road was 270km/h. I got the Sierra up to 280 the first time I tried. I
    didn't do the mods to the car, but it had a bigger turbo than standard
    and other associated tweaks, but it was insanely quick. And I
    regularly made messes of motorcycles who didn't realise what it was
    and weren't ready for it to launch. WRX drivers were even more fun.
    I'd match them on gear changes til I got bored, then just put the foot
    down.
