Who was in the lovely sounding P1 heading towards Aztec West at about 4ish this afternoon that saw my white wagon trying to instigate a race with a Clio V6???

I presume you noticed the silver Clio V6 that I was tailgating...

I eventually got a "play" and although he couldn't get away from me on acceleration (quite surprising), he tanked into the Tesco roundabout like a nutter and I just couldn't keep up!!!

Turbo what are you driving??!! The V6 isn't particularly fast and you should have been able to beat him - unless standard UK wrx? Their handling is also scarry as **** so you should have stuffed him round the roundabout as well??

I had a play with one of them in my UK300 with PPP.
Nothing in it on the straight but I out braked/handled him around a roundabout. Don't think it was standard though as it was bloody loud with big exhausts.

When's the C/ Sodbury pi55 up ?

For a farm vehicle my car isn't that slow, but sadly I cannot even attempt to compere with all the rich b4stards in their P1s, RB5s, STis etc.

Mind you I would like to see any of you try to take the Clio on though - the bloke was driving like a right nutter

Alison,

Neil did mention about changing it when we saw him at our neighbours house the other week. What do you think about that? Do you fancy a change?

Cheers.
