I know this is going to be a "Cool story bro'" but what they hell....

Wife driving her little chaved up (17" multi spoke wheels, big exhaust) 08 Mitsubishi Colt CZ1 (1.1 litre) pulls up at the head of the traffic at the lights and next to her pulls up what looked to be a brand spanking new Porsche - I thought it was a new 911 but it turned out to be a Caymen R (?) and when the lights changed she gave it the beans...

She was winning up to about 30mph when matey in the Porker thought better of being blown by a little blonde (oo-er!) in a feeble car and stuck his foot down. My it did sound lovely and it made my wife laugh! Think the guy driving was smiling too, at least I hope he saw the funny side of it.

When he turned off, she waved, I was too embarrassed to look and see if he waved back.

Hahaha funny stuff.

To be fair I often hope that drivers of performance cars give it some beans if they get a bit of encouragement.

My favourite was coming back from Silverstone and a driver of a beautiful E39 M5 with no silencers giving it some after I cheekily undertook him in the Xsara Beastbiggrin

It sounded tremendous and kept me smiling all the way homecloud9

I was driving a Cayman S down to London at the weekend and stumbled across a Cayman R on the M25, it sounded lovely as he went past me giving it some.

When I had my Impreza I pulled up at a set of lights at the start of a well known dual carriageway in Surrey (mad mile for those who know)

Anyway I could feel myself being watched looked to my right and there was a young Indian chap in a shed of an Astra grinning at me nodding and pointing down the road

Sod it I thought why not, so when the lights went green we both gave it the beans, obviously the Scoob was a lot quicker and after a while I slowed up a bit and he came last with an even bigger grin and a big thumbs up

It was a nice moment

I pulled up to a set of lights along side a 430 scuderia (sp?) Decided that when the lights went green I would give it the beans and hopefully provoke the owner of the lovely 430 to open the taps so I could listen to that V8 sing. So the lights change, I take off and nothing. No V8 screaming past me, no red streak disappearing into the distance, nothing. I checked my mirrors and as 2 lanes turn to 1 he is filtering in 3 cars back. What a bd, I was left disappointed and everyone else must of thought I was an idiot trying to take on a Ferrari in my bloody puma.

When I owned my Clio 197 Cup I got completely spanked by an Aston Martin Vanquish S whilst pulling away from a set of lights. It sounded glorious. biggrin
