Any way, we came off the A1 to a roundabout, with him pretty close, which then leads onto a, usually quiet, duel carraigeway.
Being in second gear, and with wet roads, I straightened up, I squirted the throttle to see if he was playing as it was pretty wet.
It was clear he was, so up into third and foot to the floor.
At this point he was about 3 car lengths behind. With very little wheel spin, I was surprised to slowly pull away from it, right up through the gears to fifth at which point I backed off.
I mean I certainly didnt
"blow its doors off" (lol) but definatly, very slowly eased away from him.He then weaved behind me flashing his lights, thinking he could be a nut job, I pulled over to let him by, after proving my point.
He pulls alongside, pointing at my car and givimg me the thumbs up! Never had that happen before!
We then hit another roundabout, with him in front.
After he had straightened up after the roundabout, he went for it, as did I, and again same result, but had to back off to avoid getting too close to him.We then hit traffic
(not literally!), and slowed down to about 50mph. Once the traffic cleared, he was off again with me close behind, still backing off, I decided to let him go at which point he flashed his hazzards and I returned the salute with a flash of my lights. Could of swore it had the
"4s" on the back, but after looking at the stats I think I would have done well to even stay close to it. Maybe was a standard one? Maybe he was wheelspinning, who knows?Not saying the mr is the fastest car in the world, and Id much rather have the 911, but gotta say after not driving the mr for a while and kinda falling out of luv with it, my luv has been rekindled and it reminds me why I bought it.
And for a car worth about 4k (if that) theres not much comes close for the money.
