You're motoring past a gang of twenty somethings, and one of them sticks his arm out at you and shouts something unintelligable.

He probably isn't, but he could be shouting "Nice S mate" even if he was, is it wrong wanting to turn around and run them all over?

Big grin on face, wave back "cheers mate", especially if you heard something unpleasant.

Worth rethinking this strategy when stuck in traffic or coming up to traffic lights though.

True, it wouldn't be easy to turn around and mount the pavement whilst stuck in traffic

Sorry Rob...

Why would you want to give them a chance to figure out what had passed them by....

A knowing nod and grin and showing them pipes IMHO is far better than turning around....

In Canada, its considered laid back and cool to handbrake 180, mount the ol sidewalk, and scatter the flock.

Quite simply - I'm having a great time driving my S and you're walking.

Do you miss Poutine?
I loved that and could never get bored with it.

I visited some nice clubs in downtown montreal
No cars but I met some real fast women!

Also went boozing with a couple of blokes from Manhatten on vacation, boy did they party. I was totally wasted the next day and fell asleep at work!

Not good really as it was only my second week in the company!

Anyway, back to cars ....saw some very nice Acura's out there...

The Poutine was great, if you ask for tripple cheese over here eyeballed by the waitress wot no gravy either? Just how fast were the montreal girls, too fast for you perchance?

We also drank and partied hard, got into the great canadian whiskey at 16, hunting in the swaplands, highschool had prettier girls (imho) and was generally like you see in the movies, plenty of corvettes and trans am's on the roads - very different from the UK, I'd recommend it, especially the whiskey and girls
