Had a wee duel with a guy in an RS Turbo Fiesta on one of my Fireblade's a couple of years ago, on the dual carriageway coming into Aberdeen i was cruising along at about 80 and this wee black thing came past at a decent speed, fuck that i thought and dropped a couple of gears !! Came up alongside him and was side by side at around 120, he was looking over at me and giving the thumbs up so i cracked open the throttle and left him behind big style..... blasted along at around 160 for a mile or two then backed off and he appeared behind me again, pulled out into the outside lane and he came beside me, again all excited and giving the thumbs up and giving the pop a wheelie sign to me !!! He floored the old fiesta and took off, let him get a wee bit ahead of me then lifted the front wheel up and got into a decent wheelie and went past him again, this time on one wheel !!!! Stopped and spoke to him in Stonehaven and had a right old laugh about it Knew he couldn't keep close to the bike but just wanted a laugh and to see if i would take the bait !!! Well it would have been rude not to !!!!!


Had another race on the bike with a guy on a K5 GSXR 1000, again just outside Aberdeen, got absolutely spanked as this guy could seriously ride a bike and made me look like an amateur !!!! Was mental fun trying to keep up with him though !!!

The old 4i has seen off a lot of good cars, a 355 being the best

Also had a few plays with bikes which can be interesting.

I find that my races tend to be rather short. .

Thats a 400+bhp Escort & yes he had a big shock cos that was the 3rd fastest Escort in the UK at the time he wanted to know how much faster 700bhp+ would be, he found out.

Every time I come up against a bmw m3 puts a smile on my face, totally slaughtered one on the a40 once which resulted in the 5-0 chasing me, suffice to say that was one suspect that went un-apprehended


porsche boxter on the a316 heading toward twickenham, he got the fuck out the way very quickly

and against some stupid old cunt the other day in one of those new jaguar thingys next to t5 at heathrow, I laugh at these old boys with a bit of money and think that they are donald trump, Ford sierra kicked his old wrinkled ass I bet he didn't go home and tell his wife about that one
