If You Race..............

BORROWED FROM ANOTHER FORUM WHO BORROWED FROM ANOTHER FORUM.............

friday afternoon.... finished work......50 mile hike home down the

m40-a40 and through london. (plus a private stretch of road)

same crappy drive, different day. but today would prove to be different

got to about hanger lane/park royal on the a40. and onto my private

stretch of road, im poodling along, and an nsx flys by. being a honda

owner, i thought i'd follow it and just admire it.

now i've just finsihed fitting a turbo to my DD.

pretty rapid, and its got an open downpipe as i aint fabbed up a exhaust

for it yet.

so trying to follow an nsx without being noticed is kinda hard.

heres the nsx

so im tailing it, and i pass it cos of traffic,(yup, traffic on my

private land) i get a glance, and thought, hmm, he looks familiar, he

passes me cos of traffic, and now im sure i deff know him. so now im

trying to pull up next to him. by now, partial throttle isnt an option.

he floors it off the (drag) lights, i chase, stick with him upto end of

4th. cant get side by side with him. too busy (on my own land!!!!)

get to an open stretch, both gone for it, still on his *****, cant shake

me. i back off as were approaching 3 figure marks and to the end of my

private road. i start braking, but he aint, even my anticipated point of

braking had i been going all out, he still aint braking, boy does he

brake late!!!!!!

we both slow and we roll off my private land, and back onto the traffic

ridden streets of london. by this point, i stil aint pulled up next to

him to have a chat. suprisingly/luckily, he pulls off the same exit as

me.

onto the slip road, and i finally get to pull up next to him.

we roll down our windows, and he gives me the thumbs up, u wont believe

who it was...........................................

you wont believe it even wen u see it............................

yup.............. the man himself!!!!!!!!!!!!

JENSEN BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

boy was i in shock wen i saw him in the drivers seat.

talk about being the luckiest sod on the planet, getting to race the

UK's elite/best. most people only get to meet him/autograph. try goin

wheel to wheel with him, it feels good!!!

i think its a sign, i am an elite

we spoke briefly for about a minute, he was shocked how quick my car

was, asked me wat i done, and i told him, blah blah blah, that made my

weekend.

so that was my claim to fame, hope u all enjoyed it. and hopefully next

time i see schumy in a enzo when im boosting around 25 pounds

Excellent. How cool would that be... On private land obviously.

[Fidgits]

naaa.. DC is the UK's best...

Jenson cant even win in a much better car, no wonder he sucks on the F1

but that must be pretty cool experience..

[Caz SR]

I have raced against Button and it was on private land.

Can't say I won - but that's why he's in F1 and I'm not.

Nooo Ian - Johnny Herbert - LEGEND! :D :P

Yes, that bloke should be able to dine out (or at least get a few free drinks) on that story for quite a while! :D

As for Button, I agree. There are many better drivers in F1. Surprised the ITV presenters haven't noticed.

You don't think it's because he's British, do you? ;)

i meant current...

but yes, Herbert is a legend..

Thats quality

[Flat Pack]

naaa.. DC is the UK's best...

DC's underrated certainly... The number of people that say he's rubbish then bang on about how Monaco is the ultimate driver's circuit amuses me. DC regularly spanks his teammates round Monaco and managed to drag the Red Bull up to 4th quickest in low fuel qually this year (not to mention a slightly fortunate podium - would probably have been there on merit if Fisi hadn't baulked him in qualifying and relegated them both to being stuck behind a 1 stoppping Barichello for a good chunk of the race)

when i was younger i met WOLF from gladiators :P , was in my town centre walking down the steps from top of multistory and him n his missus was infront, didnt relise who it was till they looked back n smiled , then once when through door at bottom there were some fans waiting to get autographs .

first famous like person ive met without having to go to a show B) .

what car do you have then if you can keep up with an NSX?

[Gnome]

Seen JK once or twice going down the M40, in his mahoosive Bentley, tearing down to London.

[Fizz]

Im liking that story.. shame the lad didnt have something a little more powerful to shame him up a little.. :P

[gordypix]

Thing is though...............It aint hard to keep up with even an F1 driver in that part of London. The traffic is awful!! No-where to run.........

[Mk6FiestaBoy]

so my fez could keep up then :P

[jaxx]

thats cool!

and DC!............ Crazy Dave!.... the blokes a god damn n00b!

Hill? Mansell? Even Irvine.... theyll all beat him!

[earpl]

proof that street racing does indead rock! LMAO

cool story :P
