Hi All
I have a good one on this subject, UK based. I pulled up to a red light,
there were a few cars in the left lane, so I took the right lane, in my
Herald 1360 Estate car. I get to the line, look to my left and see why no
one else was there, at the front was a 3.0L Ford Granada coupe, (like the
Sweeney Drove!). So I'm sat there with my little four cylinder doing blub,
blub, blub- (tick over) so slowly you can count the fan blades, glance left
and the coupe driver has this evil grin, like what are you doing there? The
light goes amber and I plant the throttle in the carpet, green and all but
side step the clutch, I'm away and the coupe is still at the line, I think I
shocked him into submission, I could see his face in the mirror for a
second, what a picture-and I wish I had one of it.
Graham.
