    Well, coming home up the Clydeside, I was having fun until I came across some traffic. Bugger I thought, that’s the end of that! Chill out time.

    Hell no!

    The caravan at the front of the queue turned from my route, taking three cars along with them.

    That left a Golf GTD estate in front of me with nothing but twisting road ahead.

    I flicked the switch to red and as much as the Golf tried, they couldn’t lose me. Plenty of punch left and made me love my Mini even more.

    I had some fun with a golf GTD the other week and the guy's face when I left him a mile back was priceless .

    I also managed side by side with a BMW 335i xdrive which made me really impressed with how good mini's are!

    I've got a couple of roads that I like near me that's good for surprising people, the amount of people who tailgate you for doing 30mph in a 30mph and you see the national speed limit sign and plant it and leave them behind in the mirror. My mate overtook a wee lad in a polo in his V40 Diesel (Twin Turbo I believe) and this wee polo kept up with him, about 30 mins later he get a notification on Instagram from the boy in the polo and theres a pic of the Volvo doing the overtake!

    Love it Davy. It was the first time I surprised myself after taking delivery two weeks ago. Smile factor is huge.

    I’ve had the same with a GTD, the guy had his pal in the car and was pissed when I disappeared. It had been raining and wheels kept spinning as I came off the roundabout, made it all the more enjoyable!
