Damn man, never knew that that car would beat the shit out of me. We're talking about an opel kadett here :screwy: . In case this car has never been heard of, lol, this is the one http://personal.inet.fi/koti/pehkonen/opel/opel1.jpg
I was just cruising towards the city Terneuzen wich is in the Netherlands when the opel came closer in my rearviewmirror. I could see the car was full with people. I tought to myself that if this guy was going to try to pass me he would embarasse himself infront of the other 2 guys and girl. We were just on a one way each road. In front of me there was another car just cruising along, and he ( the opel guy oc) really was pushing my ass.
When the other lane was clear of upcoming traffic he hit the hazards to overtake me. I open up everything i have, go passed the cruiser infront of me and when i look back i see the kadett hanging on my butt when i shift to fourth. He stayed there until i reached 180 kM/H. Then i let my foot of the gass because doing 180 in a 80 zone were you dont have 2 lanes and with somebody hanging a meter of yr rearbumper is :screwy: .
Well he passed me and i hear one mighty roooooAAAAarrrr..... Damn, what the hell. I punch it again and i was creeping back to him cause it seemed that 187 KM/H also was too fast for him. We stayed like this for another minute until the lights came up were i need to go left. He needed to go straight. Our lights went orange when we were just side by side approaching it. I slammed on the brakes and the abs did the rest, only killed a cdbox that smashed against the dash. Lol, but the opel needed all the space he could get for stopping that little car with 4 men in it.
Their faces were all glorie and :biggrin: happiness. I was just trying to open my window to ask what was in their but their light was already green and he took of like a bat out of hell.
Now that's what i call a sleeper. I want more challenges like that :iceslolan , bring them on!

Nothing wrong with loosing to a sleeper, happened to me more than once. I wish we got Opels here in the states, I'd love to have a nice little Speedster Turbo.

Used to at one time, GM imported Opel Kadett's back in the 60's and were available at Buick Dealers.
