There I was poodling around the country lanes on a lovely sunny autumn day afetr a soooooper lunch at the White Hart and........
A white Mitsubishi Shogun came up v close behind me whilst stationary at a junction to join the old back road between Colchester and St. Osyth (to Clacton). I pulled away and he was just soooo close behind me - I gave it a little bit of wellie and he was STILL there, and for a few hundred yards, though I had to back of for traffic. I noticed that this Shogun had bulges and wheelarches all over the place, before it turned off to St. Osyth. Anyone know what it might be - a Shogun with an Overfinch conversion?
Maybe I'll give it a good 5500 revs in future!!!
Aaaaaargh!

It wuz similar but seemingly bigger - BIG front arches too!
Yup - floor it in second! I did that to a VR6 that came up behind me a day or two after I bought the car - it was quite amuzing watching him get smaller in the mirror!
Trouble is - I've been attracting enough attention to myself (unintentionally of course) in the area and I'm worried the bears are on to me! AND - getting back to that point about bumpy roads and undulations - flooring it in second means you have to back off soon and cars with more modern and compliant suspension soon cath up with you.
Still - two or three hours out in the sun with the top down and a bloody great storm blasting away behind me - am I getting the bug? Should I sell the Ferrari?
