Title: Thought we where quick!
Post by: Anonymous on February 8, 2004, 13:51
Well after filling up for the first time with Optimax today, I thought I would have a blast around the A130 around Chelmsford (dual carrigeway with loads of lovely roundabouts).

Well I was successfully late-outbraking everyone and shooting off at every roundabout, twas great.  Giving it the largest we have ever done yet, regularly hitting 6500 revs (normally do 5000), couldnt believe we hit 80mph in 3rd! Nice.

Anyway, theres me thinking I am the mutts wotsits, no boxsters anywhere to get on my nerves, when I heard it!

Looked in the rear view (I was doing over 80) and on my ass, just visable was the roof of a car (shit I felt like we where sitting so high), looked ugly, didnt know what it was.  Got to a roundabout and the git did my tactic of latebraking and he went round me on the inside and off he went.

What was it, one of those Ford GT40's , awsome!  Funniest thing was that roundabout was the last dual carridgeway and he was stuck from there on in   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:    They shift I can tell ya!  s:evil: :evil: s:evil:

Hey Mark, when you thinking of doing 1st session North Weald again - today Kerstie finally agreed to do it (another thing to spend the bonus money on, as well as a new £800 lens, sun glasses, and a wedding   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  )

If we do a foursome day then there will only need to be 3 cars.

Quote from: "cstevens"If we do a foursome day then there will only need to be 3 cars.

That may prove a little difficult - one of the exercises in the morning involves all four people driving at the same time.
