Well not really.
I haven't been able to race anyone at all! This is just absolutely insane. Everytime i want to race someone, my "passenger" gets scared... sigh.
Does the Chin Chin La and its driver belong to some unknown power of suggestion? Only time will tell.
On the race side, like i said its been kind of dry. I managed to get a new Golf GTI to race me but that didn't work out 'cos someone got scared (As i mentioned earlier).
I did have a run in with a very special Satria R3 though. With stage 2 cams coming down Penchala link, i couldn't resist an oppurtunity to give the R3 a run for its money in my frankenstein Mivec Chin Chin La.
Not starting in 2nd gear i kept it in 3rd. It was a sort of a rolling start. As i closed on the R3, it gunned its engine. That evocative sound of its oval shaped 2 inch exhaust roared as it began to edge away slightly.
I hit the top of 3rd doing an undisclosed amount of speed (Cue baby's giggle here), grabbing 4th i was starting to believe that the R3's better power to weight ratio would get me.
Lo and behold the heavens opened up and the Mivec engine finaly showed its worth but steadily pulling on the R3 in front, nulifying any lead the R3 had.
Pleased with the Chin Chin La i continued on my way to the office. Who says going to work can't be fun.
Now i just have to make the Chin Chin La faster! (Random statement , i know!)
