Got smoked by a Oldtimer

[S3000]

Near me is a small mountain road who has atleast 20 Bends and 3 U-Turns.
And its one of my favorite roads in nearby.

So recently, just when i thought im the king of the mountains (with my lowered WRX who has Bridgestone RE-070 Semi Slicks) i see this oldtimer in the front of me.

First i thought i will overtake this guy...

But later i realised i need to push more.. what the hell ?.. oh st.. *tyre squeaking* *brakes fading away* lol
My car couldnt reach the bend and curb speeds to catch him.

i was surprised.. but i couldnt identify the car, looks like a car from the 40s or 60s.

Any idea what that might be ?

I know it well, it's a car.



Seriously though, any more of a description to go on ? running boards, big fenders/open wheels ? long, small, tall, short, colour ?

Fraser Nash LeMans Rep. I can't see what sort of car from the pre 60's could have been so much quicker then you on its skinny tyres poor brakes and general lack of grip.

A jaguar XK 120/150 looks a bit like a morgan from the rear,a good one can still do the business against modern stuff,I searched a few sites for them after seeing one smoke a late golf gti on the M25 a while back and smoked it by some distance too.
Even standard some had 265bhp,these things have been raced for years,some still are.
400bhp is fairly easily and reliably attainable,by all accounts.

And just because he is an old boy why should it mean he hasn`t got the passion still,he obviously had the skill Might have been Jackie Stewart for all you know.

It wasn't me honest!

Last car that tried to keep up with me was an Alfa 159.

It's quite possible the guy in the other car is a much better driver than you.
