When I had my 2.8 XR4i I remember following a G40 Polo going down through Wye Valley ( off on holidays to Cornwall ).
Just tagged onto the back of it and kept up with it at first but then the driver started getting a bit faster and we were soon getting a bit "serious". I had to really cane the old V6 to get past in the end - worse thing was that as we overtook, the girl driving gave me a big thumbs up

My girlfriend in the passenger seat thought it was hilarious I'd been embarrassed by a shopping car.................

Had to frantically recite pages 67-91 of the "Driving Excuses" handbook.............
