Beginning to regret mentioning this on here. I was surprised myself but just shows you there are still decent people out there with morals.

Beginning?

This does not happen in the real world.

Someone's fibbing to someone. It might be you to us; it might be your 'friend' to you. But there's a whiff of fish, regardless.

Why is everyone ripping the OP's story apart?

Seems fairly believable to me

people in the UK liked to keep the revs low as possible and get to 5th as quickly as they can.

That is true, people do do that, but it isn't really their fault, in a way. It's how people are taught to drive, and if they don't know any better, that's what they will consider to be "correct".

I have long suspected that this driving style is why people find they like diesels, as they feel pokier than the equivalent petrol if driven in such a manner.
