Just thought I'd write an open letter to the Silver Golf R32, who I had an encounter with today....
Dear Sir (or dude - coz you looked like a dude),
I thought I would drop you a quick line to thank you for inspecting my rear bumper, as you pulled up behind me today as I left Camborne. Not sure where you came from, as I pulled up to the lights, I looked and I had nothing behind me, and a fraction of a second later you were there! Do you have a stealth mod, to go with lowered suspension and blacked out windows?
Anyway, I'm sure you would have let me know if there was something wrong with my back end.... Fortunately, I just had time to flick my car into dynamic mode before the lights changed, in order to ensure that you could see my full rear defuser and exhausts as I pulled away, as it was clear as the lights changed, that you wanted to stick with me. I pulled away sprightly, to give you a chance to see the best view of my rear, and as you were only about 6 inches away from me as we moved off. It was a shame however, that you couldn't maintain that distance, and I'm really sorry for the pops from my exhaust as I pulled away. My car actually has 6 gears, but I only needed to use 4. I'm not quite sure of how far you slipped back on the dual carriageway, as I pulled away, but I was delighted to see you back at 6" from my rear end (eventually) as I slowed for traffic.
As you know, once the traffic pulled away, I was more than happy to make full use of the full rev band and those flappy paddles again, in order to give you the best siloette as I disappeared into the distance. Fortunately the queuing traffic at the next roundabout gave you a chance to see the quad exhaust again really close up...an inch away was impressive judgement.
I'm sorry however, that was the last I saw of you... You disappeared from my rear view mirror, but I was sure you wanted to remain close.
In closing, thanks for your close company today. It might be prudent to give the Audi S3 8v a wide berth in future. Your R32, despite being tricked up and lowered (and I suspect chipped) really really is no match for a stock S3. I'm glad you find the rear end so interesting!! Shame you didn't see it for long when we were moving - tw@t.....
PS. I'll be back in October. The car will be the same colour, but look slightly different. The four exhausts will be replaced by two large ovals, and I'm sorry to say that the pops from the exhaust will now be accompanied by bangs as well....... You couldn't keep up with my S3 - you'll have no chance when I add an R to the front of S3.......
