friday afternoon.... finished work......50 mile hike home down the m40-a40 and through
london. (plus a private stretch of road)
same crappy drive, different day. but today would prove to be different
got to about hanger lane/park royal on the a40. and onto my private stretch of road, im
poodling along, and an nsx flys by. being a honda owner, i thought i'd follow it and just
admire it.
now i've just finsihed fitting a turbo to my DD.
pretty rapid, and its got an open downpipe as i aint fabbed up a exhaust for it yet.
so trying to follow an nsx without being noticed is kinda hard.
heres the nsx
and
so im tailing it, and i pass it cos of traffic,(yup, traffic on my private land) i get a glance, and thought, hmm, he looks familiar, he passes me cos of traffic, and now im sure i deff know him. so now im trying to pull up next to him. by now, partial throttle isnt an option. he floors it off the (drag) lights, i chase, stick with him upto end of 4th. cant get side by side with him. too busy (on my own land!!!!)
get to an open stretch, both gone for it, still on his ass, cant shake me. i back off as were approaching 3 figure marks and to the end of my private road. i start braking, but he aint, even my anticipated point of braking had i been going all out, he still aint braking, boy does he brake late!!!!!!
we both slow and we roll off my private land, and back onto the traffic ridden streets of london. by this point, i stil aint pulled up next to him to have a chat.
suprisingly/luckily, he pulls off the same exit as me.
onto the slip road, and i finally get to pull up next to him.
we roll down our windows, and he gives me the thumbs up, u wont believe who it was...........................................
you wont believe it even wen u see it............................
yup.............. the man himself!!!!!!!!!!!!
HONDA RACING F1 DRIVER JENSEN BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
boy was i in shock wen i saw him in the drivers seat.
talk about being the luckiest sod on the planet, getting to race the UK's elite/best. most people only get to meet him/autograph.
try goin wheel to wheel with him, it feels good!!!
i think its a sign, i am an elite Laughing Very Happy :yikes:
we spoke briefly for about a minute, he was shocked how quick my car was, asked me wat i done, and i told him, blah blah blah, that made my weekend.
so that was my claim to fame, hope u all enjoyed it. and hopefully next time i see schumy in a enzo when im boosting around 25 pounds Razz Very Happy
