That'll be the one! Looking very clean. I loved my old 530i Sport Touring, such a great all rounder!

Not guilty on that one, a tow bar would never grace my car

Thanks, I love mine too!

Red VXR-8, A326 past Morrisons. It had Holden badges and graphics. Possibly the loudest V8 I've ever heard. It would've made my C63 sound a bit tame.

I followed a stunning Ferrari California through Christchurch and along the bypass today. It looked amazing and the noise was epic. But to my surprise it wasn't vey fast.....

So 0 - 60 in 3.8 secs and a to speed of. 193mph is not fast ? What to you is fast ?

To be honest a car with say 0-60 in 5.8. Its two seconds but that's prob 40-50 yrds. So some people think wow I was staying with that. I was behind a new Megan sport and we both nailed it from about 60 and I closed him up quite quickly but it doesn't look like it so probably thought he was doing well. Don't what they run but I was around 400bhp.

Its hard to explain but I'm sure u know what I mean.

Did it have a dubious looking long haired blonde behind the wheel?

I'll have to look out for that, I live in that area and cycle a fair bit when I'm not in the Polo.

Blue 2002 M3 **** ETF up the A31 yesterday, Eastbound. He didn't seem impressed when my 212k mile Volvo kept up with him as we joined the M27. I played it safe and backed off when it got too fast but he obviously had a point to make, sitting 3" of the back of every car in front of him.

Like wise, Hayling Jag not to impressed with a Volvo chasing him around the twistey bits in his MX-5 right up his back side

Yeah but MX5s, as fun as they are, are slow


EDIT...

You mean you actually drive the thing about sometimes?

Depends.. I owned one a while ago and although I frequently got tailgated by the dreary BMW/Audi/Merc straight line heros, it had a very balanced chassis and loads of mechanical grip. When driven properly I never wanted more grip or power, the fact I was on a public road was the most limiting factor. In that sense, it's not really that much slower than any other car.

Wish I had taken mine on track but boring adult stuff got in the way.
