Default An apology

I allowed myself to be goaded by a monaro VXR driver.
The shame, instead of waving him past, I put my foot down and left him for dead.
And the moral of this sad tale, he should of read the badge on my boot,

it may have saved him a little embarassment.

ps no speed limits were harmed during the posting of this thread.

He's probably just got back to the office and is now telling the tale of coming up behind some Chav in one of those sh*tty Jap rice boxes, and how the driver kept looking in his rear view mirror wanting him to race. He'll then tell them that said Chav put his foot down and pulled away to the amazement of a bunch of school kids who were near by. He'll continue to tell them that he'll bet that at this point the same guy is boasting about it on some website.




You now own his *rse

I know,I know that's why I titled it "an apology" because I feel that I let all of you down and I am ashamed at this loss of control.
I will contact PS Lewis immediately to see if he can help me after this shameful exhibition.

Only the badge, the engine is a GM unit, the car is Holden. Vauxhall sticking a few griffins on does not a Vauxhall make.

If I could afford the VXR, I'd swap my STi for it now. Sorry, but I would.

The replacement is a complete beast of a car. Would have one anyday I have to agree. Not got the extra ££ for one though.
Even outspoken Clarkson loved both the VXR and the replacement.

All said and done though....... well done

Maybe he wasn't trying to race and get close enough to read the badge. To be fair it's not like a big sign it's pretty small badge and I had to squint my eyes
