on the way back from picking up my seats (thanks Alex)
there was a
BMW M3 (he wasnt trying that hard i think)
RX8 (had a bloody good time with that one)
countless other cars that thought they were fast going right up my bumper in the middel and outside lane  damn punks
the RX8 was actually really good fun (on the M40)
we were gunning it proper  (god i sound like such a rudeboy dick)
but in the end i passed him nicely and he gave a big thumbs up
the M3 driver on the otherhand didnt  (wankers)
well it had to be done, cos it was the first proper drive i have done in that car for ages

Nice one Steven
Only thing thats tried racing me recently is a Veccy V6 & a VTS
Veccy V6 was a bit infront of me anyway but he actually looked gobsmacked when I roared past him, his mouth was wide open
As for the Saxo, well he tried. I did the usual trick of take it to about 4500rpm & hold it there, let him catch up & then I floor it & leave him in the dust. God Im such a tease with Saxo drivers

It may have been the 3S-FE engine which is only 120bhp.
Early 3S-GE engines are 158bhp. 0-60 7.2.
Later ones were 173bhp but were almost 8 seconds to 60 
I will give you a race toneh.

i had a race witha VX220 turbo yesterday
I think u could say he was shcoked He was stuck to my bumper like glue, we raced off a roundabout at about 20mph to 110ish (private road)
His car was much faster, but i think he was amused the corsa was still in eyes view 
He also gave me a flash as he turned off and i flashed my hazards so all good

I never really get any races anymore!
The last one I had was a 3.0 Z4, with the usual occupants (45 year old balding driver who still thinks hes cool and must drive with the top down, ALWAYS! and his 23 year old blonde secretary in the passenger seat) Anyway from the lights I didnt think he would have a go and before I knew it he'd fooked off, I panicked and bogged down, then it took me about 2 seconds to catch him and pass him with ease. Strange thing was tho, he actually looked shocked?

I had a race with a woman pushing a pushchair to the 17 bus stop.
Was hazardous but I beat her due to her having to drop the buggy.
God damm I'm good

can't quote figures but it's ok as long as you don't boot it everywhere, which is quite hard
