Default sl55 amg vs escort turbo diesel

wow this one was very close.

a40 heading into central london, he comes past about 120 sounding like a jet plane, so i took the bait, wound the old diseasel up to full boost, choking and maybe killing traffic behind me, into the fast lane and after about 5 mins of 110 mph, i was on his tail once he hit traffic.

it was at this point where he was on his phone and programming his sat nav that he new i was on his tail.

we played a little in traffic, with our turbos, (showing off), then the road cleared and we could get down to some real racing.

so off he went, laying down that amazing power, and incredible noise, what did i do ?.

sat in traffic crying over what fooking **** i drive!

jah bless

LOL Great Story! Did you "smoke" him off the lights? Made me chuckle on an otherwise dull day!

Thumbs up

You'd have done him in the twisties mate, no doubt about that.

In the 'real world' nothing can touch a diesel.

Shame - if you'd managed to get in front you could have laid down a smokescreen by revving the nuts off your car, then make a quick getaway...

One of the best titles for a thread I've seen in a long time

Reminds me of the old Citroen 2CV adverts, where it showed a pic of the 2CV and a 308GTB. The caption was "Faster than a Ferrari*"




and way down the bottom of the ad, it said:




"* A Ferrari travelling at 65 mph is easily overtaken by a 2CV travelling at its maximum speed of 68mph"
