Backed off

[ion]

Hi all,

Whipped a Range Rover tonight on the M6, the road was clear & we both joined off the A38M.

There was a slower car in front doing about 40 & the Range was irritating me - about .005mm off my bumper.

I waited patiently, joined the M6 & moved into the middle lane, holding back until the Range pulled sharply into the outside ready to race past.

Then I floored it.

The Vec took off like a rocket - I caught it just right & left the kn** head trailing way behind. He quietly pulled back over after a few seconds by which time I was miles ahead.

I reached about 75 & held this speed on the CC. The guy caught up after about 5 mins & came past a bit warily (I think he thought I would do it again)

Childish I know (Ranges aren't quick anyhow except the Sport) but good fun nevertheless.

I'm trying not to speed now as it's not worth it, I accelerate hard but try to keep within the limits as there are cameras everywhere. My Mother just got done & she's the slowest driver in the world!

What do you guys think, should I have hammered him again??

No mate, you made your point. Well done for not going too far. I wish I could hold back sometimes.

No m8, i had exactly the same last night on the M53 with an Audi 1.9TDi. Once is plenty.....puts them in their place!
Really wanted to go again though but wife put her foot down instead of me....spoilsport.

It's just not worht it guys. Once you've kicked 4r5e once, they know who's the Daddy!

Thats what I thought guys, thanks.

Loads of times Ive really pushed it & then regretted it after.

I am amazed at how you can throw the vec into a corner for a big car.

I had my vecs back end out on an island three weeks ago braking hard!! I swear it felt like the one back wheel lifted off.

I nearly cr@pped myself though & decided thats it - more restraint now, risking cameras, safety, hammering the car- for what??

Only a matter of time before something happens if you push your luck all the time.
