My ego was severally bruised not least for the fact that the other car was an escort Rs turbo. Old 80’s version.
One thing that puzzled me was that after it had stopped accelerating there were blue flames inside the exhaust pipe. Does this mean it was running Nitrous? Please say yes. I need an excuse for my poor showing.
One good thing was that we later both stopped at some traffic lights where I managed to get away quicker.
