Default just beat an evo5 in my saff 4x4 1-0

Hi guys, was at an rally to day where i live (isle of man), sum lads in an evo come over biging up ther evo, well fast 300bph bah bah... am like yer its ok, there asking bout cossie, am like just 300ish bhp stg3.

Though nowt of it, later on pull out of junction wid can of cola in hand and this evo nails it by, I though am gona show them lads what british bull dog cossie is! through can in the back,nail it after him,, caught up with him, bout 90ishmph on bumpy back roads evo gripping like mad, saff sliding about. Am right up his aRSe at this point, and there was a stright comeing, so he nailed it and i went with him, am up the side by side at 130mph now, thinking should i let of?.. nar foot right to the floor pulled like a train past him, flicked him the 'V' kept it pinned turned around and drove past the other way! lol
Has put faith back in to my cossie after loads going wronge with it, some times you forget how fast they are against 15grand+ cars!

Im really not into flicking people the V when racing, wether i win or lose i always have some respect for the other guy, in fact ive made loads of friends from racing people then stoppping to have a chat afterwards.

Fair play on beating him though.

not too sure regards a 4x4, but if the EVO -was- running 300bhp then he couldnt have been driving it too well as he should have cained you
