Where do I begin? A van on an uphill slip road was pretty annoying.

i wouldnt be, both the 335d and 335i are seriously quick, remember on the m1 seeing a 535d giving an evo 7 a hard time!
if your sticking with a 335d then fair play i would be happy with that
yes it was seriously impressive, even in a straight line... i was on a country lane that i knew well and drive quite regular so i know the road pretty well, maybe he did too....
bet he was supprised when he still had me sat on his bumper though, as he was really throwing it into corners and that expecting to leave me standing i think... the car wasnt half leaning!
but anyway, i was quite suprised by how fast it was as id never thought of them to be fast cars, but all the modern deisels tend to have alot of poke now!

They're not fast, just 'nippy'. All helped by a short ratio box mainly, past 3k it builds up speed quite quickly
What Polo do you have?
GTi 125bhp
You should have left it tbh 
My mates 1.8 Corsa C leaves me

Yes, these are my exact thoughts. I raced a 1.8 SRi and there wasn't anything in it.
I reckon this boy was running NOS and had his seats folded forward.

Seats folded forwards, big shit before he left etc etc
Sounds like he just got a good start or it might be modified, who knows.

i had a play with a nova before on a long straight road and it stayed with me all the way.
in my defence, i did have a 20 stone bloke in my passenger seat 
think it was a c20xe, sounded really raspy.

Probably, with his one inch wand 
Just made me laugh as he gave it a few revs next to me only to be beaten by a corsa

I had a Transit 350 LWB 200ps van the other week. This thing was immense. I was pushing cars down the motorway with ease.
