Ok so I've just been to the local supermarket, happily minding my own business having used up half a tank of fuel already today

- to get some beers in for tonight and some idiot comes stonking up behind me

- now I'm starting to get used to this, half the time its people carriers lol but I've had a couple of Porsche's, an Aston Martin and a Scooby but I'm thinking this is another people carrier and I just want to drive home.

Anyway, he moves to overtake and I realise its a Beema, well I'm stuck behind some grandma as he blasts past both of us, so I boost it half hearted past her and I'm behind the Beema again which I then realise is an M3

(it sounded like one too).

Anwyay, we immediately hit a roundabout which leads under a bridge, round another roundabout then some more traffic and an uphill slip road style to the dual carriageway which continues uphill for 4 miles or so.

I follow him all the way up the hill and I can hear his engine under mine

(notice I say UNDER mine), he is definately going to boot it so I drop to 2nd and as soon as we see the dual carriageway closing in we both hit it and head for the outside lane, I'm right on his rear end and hes gaining nothing, he pulls over and we quickly move through the gears

- finally in 5th I tank past him, not enormously, but enough to just cruise by

- in every gear bar 2nd I hit 5.5k maybe at tops 6k rpm, I didnt use the last 1-1.5.

Now I remember having a play with the same year M3 in my old GTI6 306 lol and it totally destroyed me in excelleration, but I was really suprised that I absolutely annhilated him, we were on a hill aswell, it wasent flat.
