Arrow A Bit Out of Love With my 'S'

I need a bit of support !!!

I've just had a great weekend away with some friends, drove 250 miles to Japfest and then hooned around the countryside for the rest of the weekend.

Me in the 'S', my mate in his 300 BHP Subaru Impreza, another mate in a Nissan 350 and another in his NSX.

My mate in the Nissan was taking it steady as it was a borrowed car, but I was constantly getting slaughtered by the NSX and the Scooby and I mean slaughtered. I don't profess to be the worlds greatest driver but I can generally hold my own.

Now before anyone starts I know the 'S' is what it is and after all I was the only one with a sunburned head by the end of the weekend

But I'm feeling dispondent, I've even been looking in the classifieds at this and that. I do love the 'S' but it felt weak.

Please reassure me and tell me how shallow I am

Andy

I have just been invited to North Wales next week for an EVO photo-shoot with the Lamborghini crowd. Now THAT makes me feel shallow. Shame I can't make it though
