Moving across to the outside lane to overtake can sometimes come with a few surprises. With seemingly plenty of space for the manoeuvre, the rear view mirror then gets filled with something that was highly unlikely to trouble you, forcing you to either pull in again or accelerate harder.
The thread is filled with plenty of forum users who have been surprised on a drive, with one PHer following a Vauxhall Vivaro from Castle Combe and realised he had to work harder than expected to keep up. Another was surprised by a BMW 335d, but that should come as no surprise as everyone knows there is nothing faster than a mapped 335d...
Vans always seem inexplicably fast, but are there any cars that surprised you at how quick they are?
