First proper race in the Williams

[Rudders16v]

Driving into Norwich last night, come of a roundabout minding my own business, and suddenly my mate is hanging of my arse in his Ferrari 360, i poodle along at 30 to the next roundabout, and then floor it... obviously he keeps up easily and is looking to overtake until we pass a police car going the other way as we're both doing about 80 in a 30 limit, so he turns of and i carry on.

Anyway, inadvertantly i catch up with some young lad in a Lotus Elan SE, who obviuosly though i wanted to race due to the speed i was going. We both played from the roundabouts, me gaining on him coming out, and we head out of the city to some traffic lights which lead onto the dual carriageway. Lights on red, side by side, and then we go......i had him through 1st and 2nd, but once into 3rd he started to pull back and passed me at about 80...... my first race against anything decent since i've had the car. Lotus driver didn't look to happy! hehe

You race round city centre Norwich?

Dont think ive ever been out of 2nd gear in Norwich.

[Rudders16v]

Only round the ring roads...... from the traffic lights at trowse out onto the lowestoft rd is a favourite little strip of mine though

I though those Lotus elans only has about 120 bhp or something? Suppose they are quite light though.....

[Rudders16v]

Well i didn't even know they were a turbo until i heard the dump valve on it. I looked up some figures for it though, and seems to be 165bhp, 0-60 is 6.5 and 0-100 iin 17.5 so they're actually quicker than i imagined them to be, obviously why he pulled back in the end

[Martin]

Oh right never knew they were turbo either....hmm about Cup pace to 100. I think you've got a slow un'!!

[Rudders16v]

I've been thinking i've got a slow one since i got it a month ago. The fact my girlf keeps up fairly well in her 206cc first made me suspect

[Martin]

You're joking right?
