It's a nice sunny Sunday afternoon and my wife and I are relaxing in the garden like you do.
All of a sudden there is a sound like thunder coming from the road outside and then it's gone.
Nothing unusual really, just someone with a dustbin for an exhaust I guess.Ten minutes later, same thing but faster this time.
And so it goes on every ten minutes or so and now if I listen carefully I can hear the noise for about six of the ten minutes.After an hour of this I decide to see what's going on, waiting by the gate yep here it comes, a red Lamborghini Countach blasts by 60mph minimum.
The speed is normal for here but why does he have to do it all afternoon ?I decide to find out.
..No point expecting him to stop so I can ask so I fire up the 2 Turbo.
Sitting in the driveway I wait and wait then with the sound like thunder the lambo blasts by.
The MR2 is nicely warmed up so I give chase, there are some long fast open corners on the de-restricted road outside the village and I'm on a mission.
I catch a glimpse of him on the long straight must be three quarters of a mile away. Keep it flat, keep it flat. He's out of sight by the time I enter the bendy stuff but that's where I can make up the time and yes sure enough the 2 starts to reel him in and after a very short time and carrying some speed my timing seemed spot on, a short straight between two corners we just went straight passed him !I waited at a roundabout further down the road and he drew up alongside,
I wound down the window and asked him what the story was, why was he going round in circles making so much noise
"I'm doing passenger rides for my mates" came his reply.This particular passenger mate also replied to me
"can I go back with you mate ?"The driver seemed like a nice chap I kind of felt sorry for him
!The MR2 Turbo is an astonishingly good car for the money, the Countach on the other hand.

) and while its a good story, I know for a fact which one I prefer to drive
