Used to like having a little race down the mad mile, especially in my old car.
I remember once, racing some piece of shit Astra down there in Mark's car and somehow it was managing to keep up. God knows what tweaks he did to it but it was quite impressive. Think he was pissed off about getting beaten by a girl though. :lol:
You look real great.

Ha ha thats cool Mel, i had an awesome race with a girl a couple of years back when I had my corrado, she was in a Toyota Starlet turbo, man it was fast, mine handled way better on the twisty bits but on the straights she was right there and i couldnt loose her, when we got to some traffic lights she pulled up next to me and wound her window down (she was totally stunning i might add) I was like what the hell have you got in that and we both just ended up pissing ourselves, I had total respect! I later found out she was the girlfriend of the mechanic who used to work on my car at the local tuner/specialist and that little Starlet was a bit special...car wasnt too bad either!

I now avoid the car if i see it around town these days through fear of getting my arse whooped!

Depends on what the fuel loads are between him and the Ferraris. Hopefully it will be a cracking race.
