If you were the young gentleman with the pretty passenger in Coventry and then M69 this evening I owe you an apology.
It may be wise not to flash lights and show off to the girlfriend around the ring road until you are old enough to shave.
Your self esteem may have taken a blow but it may help to realise that I was driving not only a battered muddy Jeep but also a V8 5.7 litre Hemi powered Jeep.
Goes well dont it !!!!

I love Chevy 5.7 V8's, but the ones we've got average around 270bhp. The 6.0L around 300bhp.

I love them to bits, but they're not going to worry a Porsche, unless its a Cayenne V6

what 3.2 tonnes? thats better...

I hate these kind of threads: how do you know he was bothering? Or that he took it out of top gear? Or that he was bothered to be overtaken by some twit in an off-road, who was driving it....on road

Its a bit like someone coming up behind me, wanting to get past. You know what? when its safe to do so, I let them past. I dont want to race. Yet they think they have not only raced me, but beaten me. Somewhere, on the internet they'll be posting:

"unlucky mate. I blew away an Aston Martin today. His 5.3 litre v8 was no match for my 1.6 litre 16 valve.... I 'rekon he was trying because he was making a lot of noise, but I pulled away. Sweeeeeet"

Pathetic, really

That Porsche driver sounds nearly as sad as someone coming onto an internet forum, and addressing a post to the world about how they beat said Porsche driver in a motorway penis comparison

To be honest I think I'd take being young with a blond girlfriend and a Porsche over the Jeep...

At my advanced age, I actually dont need to boast.
However if some poorly driven vehicle cutting from lane to lane on a dual carriage decides after pulling along side me and giving me the finger when I had moved over for him even though it took several 100 yards to do so, races off onto the M69 who wouldnt have a bit of fun. Even at 8mpg.
