Anyone had any remarkable battles with any other mean machines?

Hmm,

Interesting the Escort pasting, two I've up against I come out on top, both must have been standard, rather than with any work.

yeah, maybe. it looked reasonably max power'ed, but then they all do don't they?. it was 70-100 on the motorway, i dropped a gear, vtec'ed it and he just sat on my tail, clearly a load faster all the way.

I got blown apart by a Nissan Skyline GTR on the M40 going from 70 to 100+, I was on the pace upto three digit's then the extra drag from having the top down (as always) gave him the advantage.

The size of the exhaust flame could of light my cigarette, if I smoked.

I posted a message on one of mine, what it was,

Early one morning, at a set of lights, me against Boxster, cut long story short I whooped his arse, let him catch up, he did not look happy
Next morning same time, same lights except this time up against a Ferrari 360, did I get a whooping this time, but I was a good sport and when he slowed down for his turning I smiled and waved a thankyou for brightening up my morning drive.

Nice part about this is that occassionally I see both drivers, Boxster driver refuses to play and always looks grumpy when he sees me (usually overtaking him ), but the 360 guy always gives a wave, got to be a good sport at the end of day haven't you.
