Bentley Continental GT.

From 60 - 100 it cant and it maintains the same distance. But from 100 onwards at the same the speed it catches.

That is some motor. Pretty sure it was a GT, it had a spoiler / Airbrake that popped up.

I did one of those when mine was standard and yes, he was trying! Flash geezer (black guy in a baseball cap showing off to his Oriental bird) got wasted by an old estate!

Ok, so racing is dangerous and wrong, but what cars have you all had a good run-in with?!

The most recent was an R8. killed him on the straights but he killed me back thru the twisty bits. But that was BEFORE i had the H&Rs and Hotchkiss ARB's installed. Now, it would be very interesting.......

My best "kill" was a Carrera 4s on the way to Cornwall early one morning..... the 6 was loaded to the gunnels, and in no way could he beat me from traffic lights or off the mark, then up to the legal..... speed limit he was behind me all the way.
My wife pissed her self laffin for once. Reckoned that the "dude" deserved to be embarressed! She even took some photos of it...... They are over on RS6.com somewhere. not that I condone such behaviour in any way shape or form of course :)

But did get done by a 456 fezza when the car was bog standard, which bought me back down to earth, there are always faster cars out there.......

indeed! And there are those who take being beaten to silly lengths by driving dangerously to catch up/get you back. :shock:

Driving down to Cornwall I was behind a 996 turbo for a while. When he finally realised I was behind him waiting for him to actually do the speed limit he floored it leaving a roundabout.... but I was not in the mood, not with my entire family plus mum-in-law in the car with me. :lol: Sometimes it's just not worth it!

Ihear you there Grant.

Very occassionally as above, I will give it a little squirt when the wife is in the car- and only if she gives me permission :lol:, but never when the we are all there.......
Sometimes its hard to restrain yoursel when you know you can waste the cock if you want to and put him in his place, but then, i realise that my Daughter and wife are more important than my ego.......

Even then If i cant beat him safely, I wont try, any numpty can drive fast and dangerously.

My claim to fame was a Fezza 550, an M5 and an M3 all in one go.....and all gunning it from stationery...on Bruntingthorpe's long straight. It was tight.

Mate was coming to my house. Right out in the sticks. Told him to follow me. he tut tut tutted grunted and told me he would have a cup of tea ready for me getting their. So he got into his bright red 360 Ferrari, and off we went. Just when I heard him drop a gear, I popped the old estate car into sport. The look on his face ... I just wish a rear mounted camera was an optional extra. Priceless. He has been slightly less robust in his condemnation of my family car since that complete humiliation. ferrari....why?

I've only had mine about 3 months and best tussle to date was 911 TurboS - 10mph or so up to the speed limit...
He was infront and tried very hard to leave me behind but he really didn't get away half as quickly as I expected him to - well put together our ropey old estates are....
