Had this in my rear view mirror twice this week and both times its shocked me

Goes pretty well for a minger!



Pulled over and had a talk with the driver and he says they did a fwd version and a 4wheel drive version at 180bhp? dont know how true that is.

Also 1.7cdti's are pretty good for diesels and im considering one for my next car but iv been told i can get alot more car for the same money.

A black Vauxhall astra shocked me the other day when it pulled out from a junction infront of me causing me to lock up (well i would have if it wasn't for the abs) and swerve into the other side of the road and only just miss the stupid bint!
Thankfully there was nothing coming the other way. If there was, i'd have been fooked!

I raced a funny looking Volvo years ago in my AXGT and it kept up with me.

It had pop up headlights and a slanty nose and turbo on the back

RS6 when it first came out, looked like a boring old estate car but could hit warp factor fuck.

Probably the first time I went in a 335i, didn't think it would be as fast as it was.

Puma 1.7. Though it would just be a homo cruiser, not a B lane thrasher.

Porsche GT2. I knew they were quick, but you don't expect one to sit side by side with you from 70-160 when you're on a bike.

Probably the best race (as such) I've had to date, and only time a car has kept up.
