Late at night i followed a Seat Leon from Telford Shropshire to Millmeece, it was a bit jazzed up, led backlights big exhaust but nothing major, what impressed me is that until we got to Eccalshall he did not once use his brakes, the Leon wasnt quick, from a couple of roundabouts he hammered it and frankley was slow, but on the bends it flew, like i said now brakes and really pushing it , my car really struggled to keep up (330ci sport E46) on the twisties, i thought his brake lights were faulty untill he did a long brake going into Eccalshall, he must have spent something on his suspension, or are X-reg leons that good, also suspension aside it was still an excellent drive, anyone else struggle to keep up with a much slower car, anyone else that will admit it that is, i consider myself a reasonably good driver, ive slowed down alot in recent years but am quite good at hitting bends right with minimal use of brakes....until last night anyway, over to you.

He can't have been going fast enough if he didn't use his brakes!

Good point, we weren't going stupid, but he went through bends fast enough to really upset my car.
