Because he wasn't racing

I love how many people pull up next to me in a little buzz box and then take off like I am racing, funny thing is they probably go home telling their mates how they just beat a V8.

I had a mate years ago with a buzz box and he always used to tell me how fast his car was, I really thought he was joking till the discussion got more heated when I had a laugh about it.

Long story short we ended up at a track day having a race, needless to say he was not happy with the outcome, left him like he was parked on the side of the road
