hi guys. this is a bit embarassing andi know similar things have happened to some of us. i have a 99 s3 210hp, it is standard. i was on my local bypass doing 50mph(speed cameras) when all of a sudden this car gets right up to my rear bumper. i couldn't quite work out what it was but it looked like a newish golf or polo.
so, in third at 50mph i hit the loud pedal hoping to blow him into the distance but as the revs increased he was well plant to my rear. so i pulled into the left hand lane still going for it and this guy blasted past me like i was stood still. then i realized it was a POLO
there was no way of catching him but i was well and truly confused.surely even a polo gti would not stand a chance. i came off at the next exit where he was waiting, so i pulled alongside him and asked the obvious,WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU GOT UNDER THERE????!!
he said it was an s3 engine and to prove it he speed off onto the round about doing mach 3. i heard it running and it did sound like 20v turbo, has anyone ever seen another one of these? the car was a 52plate.
GUTTED!!!!!!!!
