Hi,if your a member,
just want to say that is one amazing machine you have! and some great driving! I was the blue gti you flew past! Felt like i was going backwards! the sound was amazing! and general respect you showed was nice smile i know my 250bhp isnt going to get close to that v10! but was worth a try! and great driving when it got busy,

Ive come across this beast before on the A34/M3 winchester to southampton... later saw the driver in Southampton... think hes on here as M5mark or something. My CSL was almost a match for his M5, but not quite, especially on the high side of circa 0.175 leptons redface

I enjoy high speed with the best of ph and the odd trafffic light gp and overtaking but 0.175 leptons no way I try my best to keep below 0.1 leptons only accidently nipping to 0.130leptons. Upto your speed is very serious keep it on the track

great driving when it got busy on the m4, giving cars plenty of space and showing respect to other drivers. Didnt mean great driving when he flew past in a straight line! sorry! Had good fun when the conditions allowed.

Just nice to see respect on the road, even when in a high performance car, so used to seeing people cutting in and out off traffic, theres a time and a place to enjoy your car!

Helping a mate pick up his AUC V10 M5 tomorrow. Have to say, having owned an E39 M5 I enjoyed the test drive - but keeping licence in this car will be a challenge for anyone. Still the fuel stops help!!
