White and LOUD GTE A1 northbound

[Tony K]

Pootling home half a sleep when a white bonnet slowly moves in to view next to me. Blacked out and lowered, loud exhaust GTE. I give the universal MK2 greeting, "The double take and the tumbs up". I follow for a little thinking I'd never seen another GTE the 18 months I've been up and down the A1. He pulls over to let me pass, then up behind me. I think we must race now.

Arse promptly handed to me at a non-legal speed. Big naughty grin on my face .

He came off at Peterborough then lost him on the Parkway. I did'nt have a chance to pass a flyer.

P.S.
This member does not condone the use of excessive speed on public highways it is irresponsible and a danger to other road users.



But it is nice to zoom pass people.

This mate, almost made me fall off my chair! So so true! Whenever I see a mk2 I always do a double take, I very very rarely see any around my way. (Hence why Ive picked one up from Poole and one up from Yorkshire ) - A lot of the time the other does the same though anyways! Im guessing this was a valver if you had yer arse handed to you?

PS

Astra-mk2.com does not endorse law breaking on the public highways, including speeds in excess of the speed limits, illegal racing and illegal cruising.

It is nice to push your car once in a while though!

Saw my friend again as I drove home I my half asleep 60mph daze, zonking along in the fast lane. Gave the indicator flash before dispearing in the mist but then 5 minutes later he appered behind me! Gave the greeting.

I was too tried to play. Wanted to see if he pulled off at my junction so we could have a chat but he was too busy terroising a BMW. Good man.

can't beat a good blast with another mk2 (on "private" roads tho ) especially when you get someone else trying to keep up and failing miserably
