why is it that when you know you dont have a chance in hell at beating someone, you give it ago anyway?
just had a try with an evo7 fq320. why did i even bother!
untill now i thought that my xe was quick! stayed with him till 130mph tho even tho he was about 10car lengths ahead.
i think its coming up to turbo time lol

You won't believe what I did today. . .passed a van, going UP a slip road onto the A1 in my 12v. It wasn't an old Transit either, was pretty new. I was well surprised.

i boot it behind fast cars all the time just to see how fast they can actually get away. i tried this on the dual carriageway with a Cayenne Turbo, he pulled over and let me through

sometimes you can race thinking its one thing and it actually turn out to be something completely different. a lad not far from me has done up his 1.6 vectra as a V6, talks the talk but certainly doesn't walk the walk

I raced one of these once on a bendy welsh road
in my 1.4 seat ibiza 
He rinsed me on the straights and went really slow round the turns letting me keep up (kind of ).
Im now told the owner is known for racing local lads.
p.s. its a lotus esprit V8 twin turbo
