Red face

LOL, who was that pushing me along this morning I made a dive for the outside lane of the A1 and floored it in 4th gear with a white scooby (quite old) behind by about 50m doing the same speed. From nowhere it closed the gap in seconds and the driver had a big grin on his face From there I was never getting away and I got the impression that if I had moved over it would have passed very easily. I'm not sure I would have stood a chance even when I was running 275bhp!! I do like the banter with other scooby drivers, he he

Cheers for a good laugh if you are on here

Thumbs up

hi m8,

if you want to see why you lost out, go to jvs,s web site,
www.powervehicles.com under cars sold, and look for wrx ra,
and that might give you a wee insight into your loss
though your car was not that slow
its just that pete and andy get some mega hot cars in

cheers robin.
