Frequently they are worse!


I can usually shrug this off, especially in the Plus 4, but the Roadster is more challenging when you know it will despatch most things in daily driving.

I still smile about an encounter with a biker girl in a Golf GTI on the A38 a long while ago. It was at a roundabout where lane 2 & 3 is for the A38. I happened to chose Lane 3. Alongside in lane 2 came tatooed smoking biker girl, window down and music on, and lowered suspension.

I still didn't twig what was about to unfold. The lights went green and it was suddenly Santa Pod. With a screech of tyres and cloud of smoke she launched it............................

How could I resist that, even with MrsW in the car, it was just irresistable. I could only hold position around the roundabout, but we got straightened up, I floored it and hit the limiter in second and third gear and she was a dot...........
So childish and so satisfying at the same time.

We had an interaction with a big Jag estate on Monday out in the wilds. He was close up as we turned onto a long straight stretch of deserted country road. I gave it the beans to see what he had, and he couldn't keep up. I slowed for a level crossing (we still have them) and gave it the beans again, He still couldn't keep up, so I backed off and of course he came past at a rate of knots......... evil
