Decided to take my E30 M3 for a country drive yesterday when an E36 EVO appeared behind me....we were a very tight (one narrow lane each way), twisty and massively undulating road (West Coast of Scotland). Eventually the guy in the Range Rover in front pulls off the road and 'off' I went! I didn't know the road at all ( and believe me it was probably the most challenging stretch I've ever been on most bends completely blind....and with a reasonable number of cars coming in the opposite direction ). Anyway, I was 'doing my best'...within a very few seconds this guy in the E36 EVO went FLYING past me on the opposite lane!...I don't mean just overtook me.....I mean FLYING past! I don't know how fast I was going......certainly too fast to take my eyes off the road to look at the speedo....lol!
I thought it's ok.....he obviously really knows the road I'll let him lead and I'll just try and keep up. Ha!.....no chance .....he just got further and further away....with nothing to follow my pace slowed even more until I was just catching the odd glimpse of him either a few bends ahead over flying over the crest of a hill! Eventually, he slows down and we stop for a chat. Nice guy.....turns out he drives that road everyday twice a day to and from work and is local to the area.
He's only recently got the E36 EVO but previously owned the red E30 M3 Convertible that can be seen on my website.....apparently he sold it to a guy who lives near me....so maybe I'll see it around this summer?
Anyway, I need to go and revisit that road a few more times...It is a really awesome stretch! Just hope I don't run into him again today and end up being 'destoyed' like yesterday.....lol
