I was in traffic yesterday and a couple of louts asked me to 'rev it mate'

Obviously I obliged, they seemed pleased.

Also took a TV to the dump and it's inside a large warehouse so the sound in there was cloud9 also got accosted by an employee telling me all about his cossie, was nice chatting to an enthusiast.

Only in a TVR

On one trip from Sheffield down to London on the M1 last Saturday:

Had an impromptu drag race joining the M1 with a GSXR - the bike was obviously quicker but the Cerb wasn't disgraced (I was impressed that we managed to pretty well keep up.....)

Had two GSXRs check out the Cerb, then both pull monster wheelies as they pulled away up the slip road

Had my first "spot" on PH - passed a Chimera being towed by a Disco and gave him the full benefit of hearing a Cerb pull away in 3rd gear at full chat (heh heh heh)

Was crusing at 90ish with a silver Skoda Octavia RS glued to my bumper. Didn't feel too much in a rush, was going to pull over to let him past once the middle lane cleared a bit, when noticed he'd pulled over to the middle lane to let a BMW 6 series with headlights blazing past. Once the middle lane cleared I pulled in to let the BMW past, then tucked back in behind him. Skoda tucked in behind me, and our small convoy speed went up to 110 - 115 ish for a short while to get past a gaggle of traffic. Skoda STILL right behind me, I wasn't in a rush, nothing to prove today, missus in the car too etc, so pulled over to let him past. He passed me, I tucked back in behind him......... upon which he lit up his parcel shelf..... FcensoredK me he was an unmarked police car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yikes He let the lights flash once, then carried on after the BMW!!! (felt a bit like a naughty kid, "Oi you, stop being naughty and speeding, but you aren't being as naughty as the Beemer") Knocked my speed off, and about 5 miles later there was the BMW with the Skoda on the hard shoulder! Phew - close call..... Watch out for silver Skoda RS arround Leicester area....

Sounds like a polite way to tell you to 'desist' while he concentrated on the bimmer. Hope you don't get unwanted piccies sent to you, I believe some have onboard ANPR.

Luckily for them they were travelling in the opposite direction.
