Exactly. though was more thinking of the pillocks that speed up when you are overtaking them, even when you are doing so in a perfectly safe place. I'm just glad my car has a decent amount of power. |

The best example I can give of power getting you out of trouble happened to me on a on a motorbike on a roundabout; I was turning right and I realised that the car coming onto the roundabout from the "straight ahead" direction was not going to stop and give way to me - a collision would have been difficult to avoid - I was banked over, leaning to the right, one doesn't hit the anchors at this time - instead I gave my bike a handful of throttle and vacated the area. In the event it all happened so smoothly that my pillion hadn't realised what was happening. Power *can* get you out of trouble - but most times it just gets you into the stuff. |

Only if you don't respect it. Years ago, my dad has a 1992 Carrera RS and you had to treat that with a bit of respect because it was well loose in the rear. One of the directors went to a meeting with my dad and got a lift with him. As soon as they arrived he had to go behind the site cabins to vomit. His only comment was that it was the first time he'd been in a car that accelerated like a motorbike. |
