Default Going places...

One thing I've noticed recently is that when you have a bit of a Blatt, you have to be very aware that people are not ready for how quickly you get to them.

On roundabouts, for example, they look at you once, look the other way, then they pull out not realising that you're closing on them rapidly. Not even going that fast, but faster than all the other cars.

Also remember that "driving" in Dubai is a crash course in survival, pun intended.



Another thing I absolutely love is the "violence" of acceleration, especially in 2nd. I timed the gear change to perfection, rev matched and stonked it on a slip road. The noise, and increase in velocity....

It Rocks
