I had a bit of a run in with a new carrera. Very short. I was very surprised at how little advantage he had over me. Saying that, he did make a beautiful sound. It was lovely to see a porker driven like it is supposed to be driven. It was only after about 70 he began to really pull away.

Similar run in with a Tiver Chimera 450 the other day Gooby.

The stretch of road was sufficiently technical that I was more than a match for him.

He'd have probably blown me into the weeds if the road had opened up though.

Anyway, real fun while it lasted, that thing sounded awsome from behind, growling, popping, banging, the works!

Only had one run in so far - with one of those Megane sports, an early one I think... He was totally determined to get away but his car looked all over the place sliding around the back roads wheras the Elise was quite composed, not even on 2nd cam!

We went our seperate ways at a big roundabout, he went hard left I went round to the right. His arse end did look a little out of shape, especially as he had to brake hard on the bend...
