Given that by the time we got let out (we had to wait for another car to come in before they would let us on the circuit, so we were held back for quite some time ), he had a considerable lead, we closed him down rapidly and then kicked his 'arris well and truly, and then proceeded to REALLY humiliate him by pulling a lead that was just plain embarrassing (for him ) .

10/10 for effort, 0/10 for result .

Mike, he felt sorry for you so let you go past I believe, he knew it would mean a massive amount to you if you could think you got past him, he knew you would be so overjoyed you would be bragging about it on the net and everything.
Looks like he was right.

Fair play to ben for being the bigger man
(well, literally too, lol)

LMAO @ the pre-emptive reply, as soon as I saw your post about teaching mike to drive, I thought straight away that Mike would reply going on AGAIN about the karting, he obviously doesnt beat someone as talented as yourself very often judging by how he keeps going on and on about that

I'll just hold off from sending the brakes so that he has to make do with those 'ickle 355s - that should slow him down a little - and then pick a really long circuit where his short gearing will REALLY fuck him up .
