Lamborghini Diablo SV when the Sapph was only running 420bhp . Was at Dono down the pit straight, so it wasn't as if he wasn't trying . The noise of his car COMPLETELY drowned out mine as I booted it it behind him out of the chicane .



If only the person taking the photo of the Lambo had kept up the sequence .

Passing Escos's and FRS's on track makes me giggle.

Croft the other week saw off the silver skyline and the BMW whatever series it was too both on the straight bits

Thing is you never know if they have novice drivers in them or not - so its a totally pointless post for me

A porsche cabby from standstill after an accident (not mine) on the M25. Dunno what type of porsche it was, but that's not the reason it's my proudest.. It's cos the driver was such a smug bastid.

He even shouted at me 'what, am I gonna slow YOU down?!'

Well yes actually.

Not fortunate enough to have a Cossie sat in my garage but I've had a few nice scalps. Couple of M3 BMW's, countles Porsche Boxsters, too many Imprezas and pushing a Carrera 4 out of my way.

I love seeing the look of horror on their faces as they take a kicking from a 17 year old Mk4 Escort

Like racing bikers. Always get a good response from them if you keep up with them. Never had a bad experience racing a bike.

Nothing too fancy that i can remember, i think a boxter convertible with this twat who kept looking at me in my "Sierra with a big exhaust kind of look" was the most satisfying, it must have bee quite deafening as he and this tarted up bint had the top down as i horsed it past them on full boost.

not raced much quick...

in my old TT i came across an M5 M3 and Scooby at the dartford tolls all looking like they were up for a blast with each other, so decided to join in and whooped em all

was flocking funny, as my old TT just looked like a snotty old shitbox slow ass "normal" sierra

in the saph ive not really had many races, a few 330Ci beemers (which always catch me up once i hit the limiter in 5th.... i NEED MORE GEARS ) the odd scooby (not the pukka ones) thats about it

my best achievment was keeping up with a R32 skyline GTR until i was at an estimated indicated 150mph....then he slowly pulled away

the drivers face was priceless when he slowed down and i shot past him

Thats always the way tho mate! But I find when you are in your 'good' car and you get a race, its usually worth waiting for!

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.

360 Modena and a few 911's not come across a new 911 turbo yet though which is probably a good thing! The list is quite long as Ive had the car 6 years now. Still working on the police helicopter.....
