Embarrassed ..... by the ADSA man

Oh man this thread is shocking, iv got a sense of pitty for you, driving a bmw sports car and being rinsed by a van delivering shopping.
Go directly to the dealership, do not pass go, hand your keys back in shame.

In fairness the 2.0 is about show rather than go. It's roughly on a par with a Mondeo 2.0 TDi in terms of performance.

This kind of thing does make you wonder what is going on but if you step back and think about it there are a number of things going on.

1) His turbo deisel may have decent torque
2) he may know the road well
3) he may be a better driver
4) he may be a bad driver that is prepared to push too far with no concern for safety ( I have seen many van drivers that are just plain dangerous)
5) you will have more mechanical sympathy for your pride and joy than he will have for a work vehicle

I agree,the van driver probably has less regard for himself or van than u do.
Though,in a 3.0 or an m,u are able to keep well ahead of most vans and rotm cars,but theres always some t**t out there who want to "prove" their 115bhp astra/focus/clio,etc is able to outdo your z! .......however.....

I managed to leave such a numpty,in an evo5 (2000 plate),Way behind me,even tho his car is prob faster by around 1second to 60,purely by outsmarting him on approach to/thru a roundabout,etc/so power aint always everything
