ha what a let down
 
so i was on my way to crewe tonight-

just turned off the bottom of the 500 near crewe and was turning on to a lovely bit of road (in the car) between M6 and Shavington where I always turn off the music (yes take that or west life) scoot the window down and give it some beans and listen to the roar,,, my car is quite nippy in situations like that-

so, booooom away I went 2nd gear nearly red lining at 7K revs and touching 70mph change gear ready for the next surge- lovin it.. then BOOOOM ....... a merc AMG come from nowhere flew past me and made me feel like I was goin backwards..

by the time I reached the roundabout at the Whychwood golf course he was gone... and I was nearly cryin.....


ha............ I felt like a kid on a pushbike..




so if you think you good- theres always someone better.

It takes no talent at all to push an accelerator hard on a straight bit of road.

What you driving? A pink Ford Ka? ;)

And the Alfa weighs what, 1250 kg +, about 150 bhp? Not hard to have in anything with 200 bhp +, you need a Scooby in your life, or maybe an S2000 for the image ;)

Diesel C200 automatic don't win many races, either:(
