    Mate used to have a Sirocco GTII, FUCKING RAPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Remember going to Knockhill racetrack in it for a hothatch day. I was in the back. We were on the winding country roads with other traffic making our way there. I noticed the car in front of us (peugot Mi16) had been the cover-car in Max Power (car magazine) the previous month. SO my mate decides to give it some sport. Both cars floor it!

    We are coming up to a T junction where we have to stop and give way - traffic is already Q'd up (prob about 3 cars). The guy in the Mi16 thinks fuckit and goes onto the wrong side of the road and just takes the junction like its a corner without stopping - My mate follows.

    Theres a straight then a 90 degree lefthander before a long straight before the entrance to Knockhill.
    We took that 90 degree lefthander broadside (and if you dont know what 'broadside' means, its when the drivers side of the car is facing in the direction the car is travelling!).

    As my mate gains control of the car and has it moving and facing in the same direction, we look to our right to see a police car with 2 policemen looking completely bemused with what they were seeing.
    We were probably near 100mph as we zoomed past in hot pursuit of the Mi16.

    Used to be a bit of a boyracer when i was younger and have been in many a dodgy situation like that - but that really was the scariest thing ever, being broadside at that speed.

    So, yeah - Sirocco GTII's mental lil things!!
