Mike, admit it, he passed you on the outside.
Myself I dont race other cars much.
One time I was on the sliproad and a Modena 360 passed on the dual carriage way right in front of me. I booted it but the bloody amal valve who had a intermitent fault decided that now a good time to play up ie I only had 11psi to play with.
I remember another time when I got beaten by a poxy Nissan 200sx, got back home and a noticed a vacuum hose had popped off.

I bet the driver of the Nissan still is proud of that scalp without knowing the facts.
