This becomes hilarious when a P-Plater (usually in something Japanese with "fully sick" body kit) sees something mid-engined and low ahead, who then proceeds to rapidly catch up and expect some sort of race or to tailgate or both.
I'm usually 1/2 way through the first hairpin ahead when the nose of the car behind will violently dip, with a puff of blue smoke off the tyres, plus a little slalom to regain control for good measure...
Even a humble 45km hairpin can totally make my day  |
Can totally love that.
We were returning from a rally stage up north on a windy gravel road and had a couple of the local farm boys in the flat bed farm ute following thinking they were the bees knees keepng up with the Legnum. I went round a flat corner at a 'comfortable' speed, maybe 70 kph. They nearly ended up in the mangrove swamp on the outside of the bend. Funny as heck to watch in the mirror..
