I was driving along the M40 on my way home in my Chim. I'd lost a weight off a rear wheel and at 75 anything over (er) 69 mph, or so, it was unbearable. I was in the middle lane, overtaking something at last when a Cerbera pulled up alongside and by way of sign language I indicated what was wrong.

The chap waved goodbye just as a woman in a Renault 5 behind him flashed her headlights. She seemed only about a car length behind. The Cerb driver looked in his mirror, double de-clutched, the revs shot up quite a bit so I assume he might have dropped two gears.

The chap let the clutch up with a bang and the Cerb shot off, back wheels spinning, leaving two black lines in the lane, and leaving clouds of smelly smoke behind. The wheels span for an incredible distance.

The woman in the Renault probably thought the Cerb had braked 'cause she did as well. To her it must have seemed if the Cerb had been fired from a gun. She came past with about 5mph on me and a dirty look my way.

The Cerb looked fantastic as it snaked off. I had another 100 miles or so at slow speed until I got home.

Don't try this at home, children.
