Default Roof down B ][ T C ][-][

Ahhh! What a weekend! Loads a roof off naked action !

I think my head is so red from sunburn I need to laydown !

Managed to get 138mph out of her this weekend on a motorway against a Mercedes... it still felt solid as a rock at that speed. Man, I love this car of mine...

Im not sure I'd like to take it to the limit though, its just too risky on our public roads.... i think I'd feel safe driving at that speed, but you can't always judge what other drivers are going to do.

yes... she was in front of me doing 115- 120 -ish... when she finally moved over, I blipped past at 138.... into the sunset

Also on the way back i had a small race with a Bently... man it was soo funny.. because I saw a police Land Rover up ahead and slowed letting the Bently past, and he obviously didn't see them or he thought he was Royalty...
Anyhow, the police followed him for about 5 miles up the M40 and stopped him on the hard shoulder..he'd been pulled!!

Listen for that dull thump of the brown envelope hitting the door matt.....

Some police cars are now fitted with digital speed cameras. They don't have to pull you to give you a ticket. Probably pulled the Bentley to give him a good talking too (along with the "see you in court").

M40 is a bad road to go quick on. I've seen a number of unmarked van's parked up with cameras sticking out of the side. Oxfordshire was one of the trial "more you pull more you get" counties...
