guy in a 330 saloon wasn't happy i passed him on a crawler lane on the way home from jabba today so gave chase, couldnt catch me up till i backed down at about 130. Probably would have taken me if he didn't have an entire family's luggage in the back, 3 kids on the back seat and wife in the passenger seat. They were all laughing and clapping.. totally irresponsible driving like that with kids in the back IMO.

Managed to take some old dude in an electric wheelchair.  Was tight, but finally got him on a blind bend.

If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.

Oh yeah

I was coming home from Kung Fu last nite, was knackerd, so i'm driveing nice n slow!! then some chavs pull up one behind me and one next to my pride n joy!! now cheltenhams quite a small town but theres a lot of long straights (with loads of traffic lights i must say) :(

Anyway, side car was a bm dunno what it was it was all dun up, lowered, de-badged, exhaust so lound i couldn't hear me smooth tunes(most pissed off) be hind me was one of those renualt sport things.

First set of lights, i didn't bother, they took off relised i wasn't racing so slowed down with me, (leave me alone i'm tired man!!) :'(

second set of lights well i dunno cos they were stuck there and I was round the corner!!! ;D

I had a great drag race with a CTR in my Mk3 16v. He pulled out on me on the A51 going to Lichfield, so i slowed up behind him, waited for a safe opportunity then blatted past. This clearly pissed him off as he floored it straight afterwards and gave chase. I decided to ease off at one point (I was doing 95 ffs), the CTR didn't and overtook me. I dropped down a gear and stayed with him all the way to 120.

But as for beaten? Well, lots and lots of PD150's for a start. They do always insist on trying (the 16v badge on the grille seems like their own personal red rag), and well, I do always insist on smacking them down with a quickness. It seems that low down torque diesel owners witter on and on about really is no substitute for good old fashioned power.

1 x Dull Aluminium Golf Ball Gearknob. Clearly worth about 10bhp on its own.
