Title: Got Overtaken By...
Post by: AcidicDavey on 01 July 2012, 22:41
Today I was cruising around the country lanes in the Golf and an F355 Spider came bombing past! A very 'well used' looking example with manky looking plates etc.

What's the most interesting car that's overtaken you? Or don't you ever get overtaken?  :grin:

A Pagani Zonda blew past me as if I was standing still on the Harrogate bypass.......I was doing doing about 90. The noise it made was incredible. Them things are rare fast  :shocked:

On another note, got left for dust by a brand new Ducati Panigale on Monday. It was sweet  :grin:

Last week got overtaken by a lambo aventador Ferrari 458 and a Ferrari 360. All on Thursday.

The first two were off to goodwood, only know that because the aventador that past me was the aventador that went up the hill  :smiley:

Once got passed by a Chrome McLaren SLR on the A1 at Borehamwood. Heard it before I saw it. Had foreign plates on and was going very quickly.

Last weekend was down in Sussex and of course the Festival of Speed was on. I was passed by:

Ferrari California (late model, driven by an expensive-looking blonde)
McLaren MP4/12 (orange)
F355
F458
Maserati Spyder
911 Turbo Cabrio
E-type Jag
TVR Griffith
TVR Tuscan
About 6 different Bentley Continental GTs (very common now!)
Aston DB7
Aston V8 Vantage Volante
And an R8.

I stress this was NOT a normal day  :grin:

Not overtaken by, but nearly went up the back of an Orange Lamborghini Murcielago coming off the M4 on the slip road onto the M32 to Bristol when I'd just learned to drive, in my ahem! Astra Duo! :embarassed: :evil: It was a Duo, cos it had twin airbags! Win :grin: He pulled to a stop at the lights at the bottom of the slip road, and I lol'd at being inches from the back of his f**k off tail pipes right in front of me! I'm sure if I'd have gone up his arse I wouldn't be laughing though!!!! ABS is for pussies!!!  :laugh:

Probably not as exciting as some of the other cars mentioned but I had a lotus Carlton overtake me on the A120 heading towards Harwich. Only the second time I've ever seen one on the roads. Pig ugly really but I like them.

Not quite getting overtaken by, but a few years ago I was following a TVR Chimaera in the Dartford Tunnel when he started slowing down. I knew what he was up to and spent the next couple of minutes loving the noise as he booted it in 2nd gear, slowed down & did it again & again  :cool: :laugh:

Had a pillock in his chavved up corsa come by me last night just before a blind corner. I reckon he must of dropped down to 2nd gear to get by, sounded like he was gonna blow the engine  :rolleyes:
