Had the Silver Astra "444-EVR" follow me early tonight in gladstone CQ then it past me doing about 10ks over the limit then when it was about 20 meters ahead in another lane they slamed on the brakes for a second or two for nothing.

I had seen enough... so I pulled into a backstreet, not that I was running from them, but more because I didn't feel safe knowing that I was the one they were trying to bait. I did get to see through the dark tinted windows and see some sort of radio/speed-tracking device mounted on the centre of the dash. (had a red LED readout that was bright enough to see at night even through the dark tint)

Strange thing is if they had been following me a few minutes earier they would have seen some guy in a EA falcon take off from the lights and floor it until 100 ish then slam the brakes on hard in 60 zone. Then again they probably did see it, but figured that the skyline was a bigger fish to fry.

And if this is the backup car some of the utes must be in town too.....

Thanks for the heads up!

    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
    • People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion 
    • Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?
    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
