Probably been done to death but here's a couple of mine,back in the day when I led a charmed life and had much much fewer grey hairs.

M4 Jn 15, A345 South bound was on my route from Bolton to Salisbury where I worked. Straight as an arrow, single track road with decent tarmac in the day. I'd promised myself that if I was ever going down there and there was nothing on the road I would finally find out how fast my Uno was. Needless to say it happened. C reg Mk1 Uno was ready for launch. I could see probably a mile of dead straight empty (slightly downhill) road ahead...so I nailed it. At 136 on the speedo, and I 'think" in the red or very near the red, my uno would give no more.

I was a 21 yr old lad with a car that could do near 140mph, I was just about as happy as a lad could be without Carmen Electra bouncing on my lap.

Along the same route, near Swindon somewhere I think. I came round a roundabout and from one of the other roads came an Escort RS Turbo in white, he nailed it onto the exit behind me. Id seen him as I do actually like them. So we blasted along a dual carriageway, we were pretty much neck and neck up to 120mph. At which point he started to edge away. I gave him the nod, fair game, he gave me the thumbs up and his mate in the passenger seat mouth 120 and pointed to the speedo. I think they gave the uno a bit more respect from then on.

I must stress I do not condone this behaviour, I was 21 with just about THE most underated car in the world and I was on a mission to show 'em.

The UNOs are so underrated most my mates are ford rs turbo owners they always used to call my UNO a little hair dryer they had between 150/210 bhp turbos they would always say why get a slow car so I said I race them they just laughed at me so one day I was on my way home and my mate who had a 210bhp rs was in front of me he see me and started to put his foot down by the end of the road I was bumper to bumper I had a 170 bhp UNO from that day on my mates gave the UNO some respect and called it a twin turbo hair dryer lol
