Race with Ed35 - guess who won?
« on: 01 March 2012, 11:07 »
 An Ed35 came behind me at the lights this morning, I had my window open and could hear the car revving away behind me so as soon as the lights turned to green I hastily pushed off and left the Ed35 for dead!!

The guy caught up to me at the roundabout at the top of the road leading to the open moors, so I immediately floored it and was off before he'd even engaged gear.  He kept close but he never got past me in my 09 plate 210bhp GTI.

I was well chuffed and happy enough with the performance of my GTI.  :grin:

That's not a race, that was you blocking his route. Ha ha.

He'd probably got more sense than to try and overtake if the speeds were quite high.

He evidently was winding you up and not playing...

Wish an edition 35 would try and do that to me, quick wave and that would be last he saw of me,

 Its very possible a standard gti could leave an edition 35 for dead....

Sounds like you ran off from the growling Ed35 like a scared little rabbit to me!
