Yeah GirlRacer- I love to have a go at Audis alright! But first of all I never tailgate people and secondly I dont have a Cup!
The closest race I ever had was in the summer, while I was in Edinburgh for a while. There was this L-reg Audi 80 estate on my tail and I was obviously wanting me to boot it; a request which I had pleasure in obliging. As we flew onto the dual carriageway on the A198 next to the railway line (Girlracers favourite by all accounts) the Audi was not gaining on me - and you could see the look of shock on the face of the guy and his passenger. Later in the race - which was over 20 miles or so of twisty A-road - a CTR, Audi S3 and Mondeo ST220 joined in (which nobody ever beleives!
).
To cut a long story short, I noticed it was an "S2" and duly looked it up in my collection of Autocar tests - it was one of the old 2.2 20v Turbos, making 220bhp (not an RS2 - that would have killed me).
Anyway, a very satisfying race - and one that put a smile on my face as I find that many drivers of "permium" German cars cannot figure why an L-reg Clio is getting away from their "performance car".
BTW - Jase: I dont mean this rudely, but I seem to recall someone like you on here saying that you never race? Was it you?
