Default Had a play with a vx220

Had a play with a vx220, an old chap with the roof off i had my roof up.

He was a little bit up my arse through some areas which annoyed me (I'm not going more than the speed limit i thought), i was going to let him past further on but he didnt take the opportunity. He came to the same bypass as me where there is a junction onto the bypass where he was very close behind whilst i checked in front.

I thought sod it no-one in front and road clear, I was in 1st holding the revs slightly and booted it from the junction, he was very close to me until 'IIRC' i got upto about 40-50mph then i convincingly pulled away from which must of been several car lengths if not more.

Came to a roundabout which i thought i overcooked TBH (oh crumbs) but i didnt , think this was what i felt was a limit with the 16's but the 17's took it well, as i left it hit vtec (think i was jammy the way it worked out, he caught up a little bit) again i pulled away by a good margin i slowed down when it got to silly speeds when i looked back he was quite a bit behind he then passed me flashes of acknowlegement exchanged i dont know?.

Thing is at the end my leg was wobbling!, i dont know if this was the adrenaline or being scared haha havent done this for quite a while.

Of course this was all in a dream i had .

As cool as this probably was I got into quite hot water for something that was no where near a 'serious' as this. Be very careful doing this sort of stuff on the roads mate.

Not willing to post too much info about it on the forum at the moment as the post court m'larky is still ongoing (found not guilty so exploring our options against those involved from a CPS point of view now)

Ah, apologies, I missed the dream part ... !

Only reason I say is that if wasn't for the fact that I totally raped myself in legal fees and my freind who I was with had the ability to do so also we would have been totally destroyed, and as it happens wrongfully so.

Worth stating if your ever around at a herts meet i'd be more than happy to discuss it over a bacon roll/beer, but as it stands I don't want to divuldge too much info on a written format...

No idea 'bigfecker'

I think you'd be right even with the modifications i have.

p.s TBH i bet most people have 'ragged' their cars before abeit in differing scenarios anyone who says otherwise isnt that way inclined or is telling porkies, not divulging.

Still i dont condone things like this in dreams.

His was a turbo Burnie, this one sounds like the standard NA model.
