I was driving home after dropping off my mates on friday night about 2 am. I'd had a night out in colchester and it was my turn to drive( I seem to gets lots of turns to drive.....wonder why?) I was taking it easy because the weather wasnt too good, plenty of sleet about, when I came up behind an 03 silver mitsubishi evo 8 on the a12. He was poodling along at 65mph so I overtook him, I was only doing about 70 and pulled in front of him..........next thing I know he was sitting right next to me. I figured he wanted to play, he kept egging me on pulling away then dropping back, I was reluctant to take the challenge but as the roads were fairly straight, I thought I'd "have a go" he floored it before me and was gunning away,I dropped a couple of cogs and booted it, it took a few seconds before I caught him but once we hit 130 I was flying by him.
I wasnt happy with that so I slowed for another go, I wanted to gun it the same time as him. We sat side by side, I was in third at 70 ready for him, I could hear him boot it with his dustbin sized exhaust and floored it straight away, his accelleration was good and he was pulling on me(just) until I hit fourth then I just blew him away and by the time I hit 150 I was at least 4 car lenghts in front him.
Happy with victory it made me wander about how good the turbo's are that those evo's have......................should I have pulled on him straight away?
