Ok, My GTI is in the garage so I have a courtesy car.
VW Polo Sport TDI PD 75Bhp.
On my way home from work today I turn off through a lil village called "Lowca" and a Nova GTE follows me, this Nova has been on my arse since "Whitehaven" (Where I work) so I assume hes wanting a race... cos hes young and wears a baseball cap. (im young to by the way and I wanna race this Polo too)
So we drive outta the other side of Lowca and its a very dark road with no roadlights or anything... basically a road that runs between fields and its got a few good 90degree corners. So ... over two sleeping Policemen and outta Lowca we go...
2nd... 4000 revs Nova is giving it beans too... so I double-de-clutch into 3rd... keeping it on the turbo
3rd gear FLOOR IT.... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Diesel Turbo power... bye bye Nova GTE.
150+lb/ft torque Vs about 100lb/ft, this thing just took off, its "in gear" accelleration is unreal.
anywayz, upto the first 90degree corner, slam the anchors on, all 4 discs light up, ... slightly wet road... handled well into corner, .. into right side of my lane, look over bushes, no cars coming, ... still corner, let it go to the other side of the road... keep the racing line... floor it outta the corner, keeping gears low to stay in with the turbo...2nd... 3rd.... 4th.... light left bend.... ease off at the corner check for cars... the foot to the floor again, Nova is about 50m behind, down hill .... back onto a flat, blind corner... slam those anchors again, light those 4 discs up... cars coming my way, stay in my lane but use all of it... Nova closes a lil bit.. fogs lights become brighter as it closes as it cant see cars coming yet.... around the corner Nova is about 25m... long straight, .... 2nd into 3rd floor it... .... ... ... ... gone.
Nova gave up I think.... or broke down... cos at the junction i sat there waiting for traffic to pass for about 30secs and it didnt appear and there was no parking places or turn off's LOL.
So there u go... Polo's aint bad and neither are Diesels ... oh and this is a 53 plate Polo with about 150miles on the clock... not even run in, im sure that Nova will have had about 120,000 on it.... and about 75,000 on its blue washer jet neons. lol.
