Default Er....

Mazda M X 5 on the way to my Mum's tonight.......

& it pulled away from me.......

In mitigation the engine was cold, wouldn't VTEC, hit the rev. limiter the tyres were cold so it was twitchy.

Could hear his engine above mine & it sounded pretty good. On the over-run a pretty impressive amount of flame came out of the exhaust so I think it must have been super or tubocharged.

Would have loved to have met him when the car was fully warmed up!! ( not that I condone racing on the road )

I can't believe you were taking something on when the engine was so cold it wouldn't allow vtec!! That's like less than 2 minutes into your journey!!!

I cant belive you wanted to race something so far below the S2000, nevermind when the engine was cold.
