So I was on my way home late last night... Down my usual drag-strip where I had the encounter with the idiot golf not so long ago.
Very little traffic this time... but I pulled up at the first traffic light next to a shiny Golf 5 GTI (2l turbo). Oh-ho! I thinks... but he's probably not up for it.
WRONG.
He spun the wheels off the line, caught me unawares. No chance at all of catching up, really, but he didn't get more than 2 cars ahead. We stopped at the next light. Both fluffed the launch a bit (I hate launching this damned diesel, the difference in torque between 1800 and 1900rpm is about 300Nm
). He pulled me a little, by the end of the run his tail was probably a meter in front of my front bumper. Stopped at the next light, gave each other the thumbs up... and I chirped "Not to shabby for a diesel, eh?". His eyes widened and he said "poking hell! NO way, that's poking awesome"We had a couple more runs - much the same result, then he peeled off. Didn't really expect to beat him but I was a lot closer than I thought I would.
No, I didn't ruin HIS night.
After our 2nd race, I noticed another pair of lights behind me. This guy was revving to the redline as we were waiting for the lights to change. But he kept dropping back slightly. Bear in mind he's behind me so he probably got more than a faceful of sulphurous sooty diesel smoke
Anyway, after the GTI bailed out, this guy did a ricer flyby, and stopped at the next lights. I took another look. Golf VR6 with worked exhaust, big shiny ricey mags, and an arrogant idiot behind the wheel. It's on. AGAIN I fluffed the launch, he did a tyre smoker and thus beat me across the intersection by a car length. top of 2nd I was level with him. Top of 3rd he was behind me. I backed off, he did the flyby again.Repeat 3 times.
Poor bastard. Sucks to have your worked VR6 thumped by a diesel. Repeatedly.
End.
