.. by VW Transporter DTI. Thought it would be easy peasy to get ahead of it at the traffic lights, but the bugger gave up quite a fight for the first 10 yards (his roar could be heard all over London I must add, the Omega is much more subdued), but then he ran out of breath as it needed to change gear (narrow power band on Diesels he he). While I was still going strong in 1st and could have gained on him easily from this point on, sadly the road narrowed down and I had to give up.  :-/

not humbled mate.......caught off guard

Some of those Transporters are quick. Too quick for the muppets that drive them

One is always belting along in the opposite direction on a road that's barely more than single-track on my way to work. Way too fast and expects everyone to get out of his way.

On the one day I was in a Micra "courtesy" car (which deserved to be put out of its' misery, TBH), and determined to stand my ground, I didn't see him.

James was saying the other day that a van he had been driving was bloody quick

They tend to be low geared to allow for the loading.

Reminds me of Bedford Midi - rapid up to 10mph!

When in situations like this I tend to be very prepared

Bedford Rascals are the same......

Yuo could practically wheely the thing if you revved it enough and dumped the clutch

Exactly what we used to do with them.....then we took them to the Melton Road in Leicester to sell.

You can beat a transporter any time you want if the road is empty..

But in traffic not a good idea to push as its a heavy car and their

drivers are not normal.

 :)A mate's got a Transporter van, in fact he took me to Leeds to buy my Mig. Drove from Immingham slowly all the way, came off the M62, waiting at a roundabout, & he gunned it in 1st & 2nd. As said before low revving diesel but the short range punch was impressive for a van.
  I've still got me Mig & his van's going strong. He uses it for his Labrador breeding hobby & he carrys race bikes in it & fabricates fibreglass bike panels for a living.
    Considering the work that van does if i needed a van i reckon i'd get a transporter.
