F**ING HELL I LOVE THIS CAR! :Eyecrazy:
Just went out for a couple of drinks with some mates.
I had no intention of showing off or being stupid or whatever, just driving me pride and joy secretely only thinking of the car rather than any conversation.
I had to drive a couple of miles through light traffic and the usual 30mph roads. I eventually came to the beggining of the motorway which starts on a roundabout but has a very tight left to get onto the slip road, bear in mind I haven't driven the car all week since I'm always working and the VR-4 isn't my main car, anyway, as I go through the roundabout and the tight left I put my foot to the floor like you do! bare in mind I'm kinda zig zagging to get on.
As I turn the left ALL THREE lights came up! I think it's because I was accelerating hard rather turning very tight, needless to say I'm on the motorway in seconds.
I came to a cruising speed of about 90 ish, the motorway is dead clear.
I then notice a new black Celica hairing up behind, I knew there would be no point showing him who the guvvvnor! is!:cool: but he had the cheek to come around me.. so what do you do? you can't have that?:nono:
I sped up a little and was soon approaching slower cars, so I pulled out behind the Celica, at which point he appeared to speed up a little.
But as the road cleared he went back in but he was still going fairly quick so I thought okay this is what I've got!:cool: foot welded to the floor and the beast dropped to 3RD!:eek: how the hell it found power down there I'll never know but believe me it did! then before I knew it she was crying at 7K then upto 4th 2 seconds later she was upto 7K again! at which point I shut her down as she was approaching 130mph FAST!:beerbang:
I came back down to around 85 ish and the Celica appeared behind but he only caught up when I had slowed for a while.
For the rest of the motorway I just cruised while the Celica was just hanging back.
As the motorway ends there is a huge roundabout again this time it has about 6 roads coming off it and I want the far right, so, clear roundabout! lets try the AYC again! :D
Foot to the floor heads flying backwards, I take this roundabout at an unbelieveable rate! didn't look at speed but I was going quick, I didn't noticed 2 lights up this time but the tyres were screeching and this is really what unnerved me! as the last time I heard that while I was driving the car ended up the other side of the road after doing a 180!
Anyway I didn't feel a thing!! it was on rails, okay so the tyres was screeching but it didn't move an inch! where I was steering it was where she wanted to go!:bow:
A little down that road is where the pub was so I took it easy as it's a 30 again, pulled into the carpark and let her run for a while since she had some fun, turned off the engine and all at once you heard "F**KING HELL!" :D :D
