On my way home today, coming up behind an electric mobility scooter, I put my foot down (in gear, I add) and my massive torques allowed me to overtake it.

The old guy was clearly trying really hard, I could hear the whine on his motor as he summoned all 24 volts from his scooter.

Left him eating my dust though!

You failed to mention what (car) you were in. I presume the your octy couldn't keep up as standard.... So presume it was a diesel?
