 I had a funny experience in my old Estelle earlier tonight. I was leaving the town I was in visiting a mate and this huge booming and banging speaker with a Citroen Saxo body and chassis followed me onto this winding A road! He was inches from my tail until the road got twistier and a few roundabouts appeared. The "driver" of the speaker was obviously trying hard as I could hear his big exhaust roaring over his music! Anyway, my dear old heap left him for dead on the twisty bits, and I was so proud! Thought I'd share that with you all! ;D  BEWARE!! DON'T ARGUE WITH FOGY....HE'S A MEAN MACHINE! ;D

not quite as fun but (if he noticed) i showed up a focus this evening, some 1.6tdci i think, sitting upwards waiting on lights, him creeping over the line trying to get away, I'm sitting behind idling on the h/brake. so the lights change, he moves off and pelts on, i wait a moment and then do an amazingly long 1st gear spin until the torqu steer kicks in (it was a bit damp btw) and snap into 2nd gear and then have to slow down cuz the focus driver for all his effort is then tootering round being hesitant and slow. then double yellow parks outside the pub and gets an earful of loud tooting as i go past, for the sake of it, didnt indicate enough and then started reversing whilst i negotiated the narrow street past him.

what car were you in ss? my bike suffers the same as FOGY with lack of outright power, but you can catch people up with the aid of roundabouts  |
