How often does this happen..

Just reading about wheel stands and racing...

I have driven the Cobras around for over eight years and now more recently the GT40, but I must say I have never had as many idiots try to race me as I did on Saturday last.

It must have been a full moon..

At every traffic light I think I had some idiot give me the thumbs up and race off - being a sensible mature driver I let them go. Then on the third light I just let go and disappeared...

I don't know if it was just the luck of the draw or if it is getting worse on the roads..

Then I watched the news on Sunday night and the Police attended 6 major accidents with mainly young guys involved. Three killed in Melbourne alone. They called it street racing or drag racing which reflects on the legal racer.

Maybe I'm just getting old....It is the same when I'm out in the XR8 utility.

Does it happen to you a lot more when your out in the Cobra or your performance daily driver...
