There I was on the M56, when I noticed a 997 Turbo, well you couldn't fail to notice when he entered the motorway like an exocet missile.
Anyway come to my turn off and he pulls into the turn off lane a tad early. I see a chance to get ahead so slot in a bit in front. He's behind me at the lights and i'm at the front. So I go round and line up at the next set of lights in the left hand lane. Naturally he goes in the right lane.
So there we are, waiting to go. I looked over, gave him a 'nice car' type nod and noticed that he's holding on the clutch. As the lights change I thought sod it, give it a bit, so I get away cleanly. By the time I select 2nd gear at 6500rpm he is about a 100yards ahead, a 997 Turbo, perhaps unsurprisingly just literally takes off off the line. All good fun to watch mind and brightened up the drive home from work.
