Hi all,
What a race, I always have had respect for those scoobies when I'm in the 325, due to the power advantage, the AWD platform and the rally heritage of the car. These things should fly in comparison to my 325i, but it appears not....The Toyota Rav4 showed them a thing or two aswell. :bigeyes:
After taking a trip to the Duke video track day at Jurby airfield, we found ourselves being tagged by a couple Scoobies, a E36 328i and a Toyota Rav4, earlier on the road they were tailgating each other and myself, meaning - play time. :D
We all got caught behing a coach slowly crawling up the side of the hill and the 328 was in front of me before there was the coach, that 328 took over and I followed and did a double overtake on that car aswell, closely followed by the Rav4 and the Scoobies.
The road was on an uphill, which curved to right, then kinks to the left for a mini chicane, all of it being up hill.
I had speeds in access of 130mph with the Scoobies slowly dissappearing in the mirrors, which had overtaken the Rav4 by then, a couple miles down the road, a friend in the front passenger seat suggested I have a play with them, which I thought was a good idea since that was too easy and the conditions were perfect for these antics.
I started crawling at 50mph and allowed all the cars except the 328 to take over myself...we all gunned it and the game was back on. YeeHa!
After a small burst there was another car that slowed us all down to approx. 60mphish. Back to the small convoy style driving again!
