Hello all,
I Was driving back home on the dual carraigeway from a business meeting at about 10 last night, cruising along at 70 listening to tom petty when a modified GTi-R (HKS Super Drager exhaust, 18" wheels) pulls up behind me, very rudely beeps his horn, and overtakes me accelerating hard. This guy obviously had no respect for the Z, so it was time to teach him some
.
I floored the Z (which is misbehaving again due to timing being off), the autobox kicked down, and I caught up.
On seeing me in his rearview mirror the GTI-R guy drops a gear and floors it (not too hard to miss with the noise coming from that exhaust) and the GTI-R pulls slowly away from the (misbehaving Z) up to about 110m.p.h at which point the Z starts closing. By 125mph, I am right on his back bumper, by 130 I'm alongside, by 140 I'm about 4 carlenghts ahead, and by 150m.p.h he is becoming a small dot in my rearview mirror. It is at this speed that I realise I have gone completely nuts and slow down to a far more sedate 70mph, the GTI-R catches up and stays behind me for the rest of the journey (even when I slow down to 30m.p.h just to antagonise him
.
(p.s I know I should seek professional help)
