Porsche Crest Felt like Roland Asch winning the 88" 944 Cup

hey lads,

well the drive home from work was different today.... Pulled out onto the main road and noticed the nose of a 951 pushing quickly up the rear and it followed me closely till we got to the dual carriage way....

Well as soon as both our noses got clean air we where into it like a fat kid locked in a cup cake shop much to my surprise i wasn't left that far behind... about 1&1/2 car lengths... this continued for a bout 4 sets of lights while this was going on i had noticed a blue ford turbo Ute following behind me getting in the action.

well the fifth set i messed up my launch and got to much wheel spin next thing i know this Kid with his blue turbo Ute is up it for the rent and all i could hear was the air and all sorts of large objects being forced into his engine by the turbo....

I snap second and edge closer to his door hit third and the tail wiggled as the Ute started to slowly disappear behind me.... not sure if this was cause he backed off or cause I'm awesome to the power of 944S but hey made me feel good...

thats my little story and i have now told it....
