Just getting old I guess
Discussion
Apologies are in order to other Griff owners. For the third time in the last 2 weeks I have been challenged by a lesser car and yielded. This time it was a Vauxhall Vectra SD/GTI/etc.
*30mph on the M20, leaving him in the distance I decided again, as I have several times recently, that just because I can does not mean I will. I eased off and he passed me at about *10mph.
So "sorry" because I must be spawning a whole load of "I burnt up a Griffith" stories but sometimes I just cannot be arsed to fight the fight with a 20 year-old in a repmobile. I must be getting old!

Had a similar thing with a Subaru Imprezza WRX STI P1 Prodrive jobbie a couple of nights ago.
Right up my chuff till about *25, I thought this was getting silly so pulled over. I was very nearly tempted to drop it a gear and see what he could do (no doubt they are a fast motor) but what would that prove.
Discretion and all that...

WRX P1's are very quick. Pretty well matched against my 4.3 accelerating from 40 to 80(ish). I decided it wasn't worth trying for any faster in a 60 NSL. That one started driving like a pansy once it got twisty though.....
To be honest it is always tempting but never really worth it.
