fair enough.

I'm with cptkirk. I look to you Zcar people and others with fairly serious bhp, particularly the street sleepers (hello, Kam) to outrun the opposition from time to time, up to a semi-sensible speed It takes the pressure off the rest of us. We can cope with the chavs on the roundabouts but not the Audis away from the lights.

Too true.
A standard 2000 reg mpi is no challenge whatsoever to a 2007 reg S Works, as Matilda & I found out last week to our shame, but continually pursued for a good few miles read about recently on the internet.

Noooooooooooooooooooo, bad Ju and Matilda! You must NEVER engage with a Bummini or whatever we're supposed to call them! A languid wave if you must, but let them go! Naughty step, 10 minutes, now.

I know. I'm sorry. I only realised when we'd hit 70 on a wiggley lane in the dark. I had to give myself a right talking to. I'll go sit down & be quiet now. (They can't 'alf shift, tho, them t'ings)

This internet article, can you give me a link?

Yer, that's the problem, see? Leave it to the grown-ups.

*EDIT* I can't believe I'm being so lippy to a university lecturer. But it's strangely exhilarating.

I'm used to being lipped at, but they're normally a lot younger & roam in herds accompanied by blackberries & iphones.

I do need reining in with the driving, though. I am aware that I can be very stupid.

That would be me.

EDIT I'm popping over to congratulate Kam in his thread about his track day.. Just what we're talking about, hmm?
