Worst nightmare

Driving home from work today when Piers turns infront of me. Now i have to figure away to pass him. He knows i'm behind him and as the road goes from 1 to 2 lanes he boots it by a car and i'm trying to catch up with my detuned settings, but having one of his test cams and PDR HX35 and still hiting 39lbs boost i give it a go. I catch up as traffic slows us down. Poor car gets a double dose of smoke.
Too much traffic so we have to behave.
Were both headed home and since our homes are not far from each other i figure my only hope is to take a short cut i know. Piers takes left at light and we wave. I take shortcut through store parking lot and beat him onto back road. He comes around corner and see's i'm ahead now. He's closing fast. Great theres trafic. We take it easy for awhile and when theres a break i give it by the car and pull back in but still have my foot in it hoping to keep ahead of Piers. Good luck. Piers blows by both of us like we were standing still. He's looking back with a smile as big as a cheshire cat.

Guess i won't do that again.
