Gallardo wins. The end.

"Ambling" along the A36 towards Salisbury on Sunday, imposing single bright light appears in rear view mirror. So he's seen a yellow Lambo and wants to play, it would be wrong of me not to oblige

We safely dispatch a few cars on the straights, Ducati holding station as you would expect. I know he can't lean on the brakes as hard as I so deceleration isn't as violent as it could be. A few sweeping corners opens the gap a little, some traffic closes it. Finally a clear traffic free stretch appears, the hammer goes down and once again he's closing in slightly whilst accelerating, but a few corners and a roundabout later the gap is no longer a few car lengths. I hope you enjoyed the show Mr Biker, it was fun

I remember a good blast along the city airport raceway in my SL55 AMG vs an R1

He was a little surprised to say the least !!!!!

I like the commentary from the coppers, f'ing and blinding.

Was in all the papers at the time, can only laugh about it now

JohnnyS;

Quality.

Although to be fair I see far more stupid driving on a sunday out near southend.

You're just guilty of having a decent car.

No no Mr Seasider of course not.

I refer to the 17 year old dump valve posse from romford/basildon etc,who tear up the a127 on a sunday afternoon.

I owned both the Lotus and the 355, so the owner is definately amongst us !

Not a particularly good advert for our BiB I think.

Didn't notice any limit signs, but looking at the roads I wouldn't have said there was anything dangerous there and that your hit was very harsh.

The opening few seconds said it all for me. Jealousy and guys on a rush because they managed to pull a Ferrari and a Lotus.

What did they say when they pulled you?

If the Ducati rider had taken a brave pill you wouldn't have seen which way he went. I took on a 360 on my Blade last year and we both were keen to win ;-) I swallowed a brave pill and hammered him and when we eventually stopped he told me that I was the first biker to have taken him on and won. By the way that brave pill made me a little too brave as on the way home I got it crossed up at a 130 coming out of a long left hander and the rear tyre mark must have been 100ft long. God knows how I stayed on
