friday afternoon.... finished work......50 mile hike home down the
m40-a40 and through london. (plus a private stretch of road)

same crappy drive, different day. but today would prove to be different

got to about hanger lane/park royal on the a40. and onto my private
stretch of road, im poodling along, and an nsx flys by. being a honda
owner, i thought i'd follow it and just admire it.

now i've just finsihed fitting a turbo to my DD.
pretty rapid, and its got an open downpipe as i aint fabbed up a exhaust
for it yet.



so trying to follow an nsx without being noticed is kinda hard.

heres the nsx



so im tailing it, and i pass it cos of traffic,(yup, traffic on my
private land) i get a glance, and thought, hmm, he looks familiar, he
passes me cos of traffic, and now im sure i deff know him. so now im
trying to pull up next to him. by now, partial throttle isnt an option.
he floors it off the (drag) lights, i chase, stick with him upto end of
4th. cant get side by side with him. too busy (on my own land!!!!)

get to an open stretch, both gone for it, still on his ass, cant shake
me. i back off as were approaching 3 figure marks and to the end of my
private road. i start braking, but he aint, even my anticipated point of
braking had i been going all out, he still aint braking, boy does he
brake late!!!!!!

we both slow and we roll off my private land, and back onto the traffic
ridden streets of london. by this point, i stil aint pulled up next to
him to have a chat. suprisingly/luckily, he pulls off the same exit as
me.

onto the slip road, and i finally get to pull up next to him.

we roll down our windows, and he gives me the thumbs up, u wont believe
who it was...........................................

you wont believe it even wen u see it............................





yup.............. the man himself!!!!!!!!!!!!

JENSEN BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


boy was i in shock wen i saw him in the drivers seat.
talk about being the luckiest sod on the planet, getting to race the
UK's elite/best. most people only get to meet him/autograph. try goin
wheel to wheel with him, it feels good!!!

i think its a sign, i am an elite

we spoke briefly for about a minute, he was shocked how quick my car
was, asked me wat i done, and i told him, blah blah blah, that made my
weekend.


so that was my claim to fame, hope u all enjoyed it. and hopefully next
time i see schumy in a enzo when im boosting around 25 pounds

Pretty cool that it was a turbo integra - not just a 1.2 8v thinking it was having a race or something and was cool that he actually stopped and had a quick chat about the cars etc.
