Default My 'kill' :)

Lovely weather this sunday, just cruising along at 30 through the roads leading out of town, short dual carriageway down to some traffic lights 30 limit. See a black bmw indicate out behind me about 6 cars behind, comes flying down the outside and cuts in behind me. Fair enough I thought.


Carried on at 30, 4th gear, not making a scene (I have invidia exhaust). mr.Bmw is backing off then racing up behind me etc etc. Get to the small roundabout that exits onto a dual carriageway, national limits up a big hill, BMW attached to my bumper. Drop it down to 2nd, exhausts start screaming, bmw starts to dissapear behind, reached 70 and he was a good 4-5 lenghts behind and dropping. Had me worried for a moment because I didn't have a clue what model it was, black and shiny . Turned out to be a 330CL convertable. he didn't look too happy, neither did his peroxide blonde passenger.

Nice one, Off the line they will beat you unless you get the perfect start, once you hit V-tec in 2nd though, they dont have a chance.

I killed a 328 this weekend, I was very chuffed with myself and my car

I went past a woman riding on one of those shopmobility electric powered chair things the other day. She was gunning it out of the post office and I saw her trying to slipstream to get a little extra out of it before she slammed the anchors on hard for the corner.








She didn't get a second look as I walked past her
