THIS WAS NOT A RACE
Was just another boring drive bak up from Glasgow with the inlaws in toe in there Abarth 500 (nice little car tbh) till I gave it a few beens off a roundabout then a nice looking Ferrari F430 (that I had passed a while back) came flying up behind me,then it was game on along the A82
think I held my own, I know, I know it not big blah blah etc (it fucking is though lol) The A82 is a nice bit of road to share with a likeminded drive in a quick car, he was only to happy to have a play and couldn't (or didn't want to) get past me but I'm sure he could have if he really wanted to cheered my boring day up as I turned off he gave us a big smile and thumbs up as we turned off
so its all good although we did have to pull over and wait for the inlaws to catch up
I know he's car is much quicker than mine blah blah etc etc but it was just nice for him to show he's appreciation as its not often that the drivers acknowledge us lesser RS car owners!!

Yeah yeah !
Now your asking it started at the top of the dual carriage way near the rosa out with that wiered sculpture thingy on it and finished when we turned off by loch lomond
yeah that's is we had a good laugh and it was nice to get a good reaction as usually you get a snotty look from most "quicker" car owners I have found

My frs wouldn't want to take the cossy up here 1 I do t think I could the fuel & 2 I would go fucking mental from the noise etc!
Not sure if I said it before but BOLLOCKS!!
Anyway I took the car back to Mountune about the low power reading and it. Was all because they ran the car on the wrong setting wich is why the torque was soooo high

Just so all the other Mk2 RS Foucus drivers can be happy with the RR reading they get.

I had a legendary old guy in a signal yellow mk2 escort 1600 sport come over to me and complement my fiesta rs turbo. I thought it was a nice gesture from a guy who clearly had an awesome car himself!
