A thought

Last nite i did one of my nocturnal drives, here to plymouth to tavistock to a30 to exeter to plymouth to home, lol. random.

Anyway i was driving back on the a38 from exeter and wondering to myself, if i owned a f430 scud, on these empty roads what speed i could hit, if you know the road, dual carrigway, completely empty, 2am.

Went under a bridge but just before noticed a traffic police volvo sitting on it, only saw it at the last minute.

Now if you own a supercar, and you cant go over 70 in the middle of the night at the safest time possible for other road users, what is the point of owning one at all ?

So your saying if you had that lamborghini you wouldnt have found yourself doing well over 100mph underneath that traffic car ?

I probably have no taste but i would seriously consider a normal white rs focus if i had that sort of money, as a daily driver.

The point i am trying to make is if you cant exceed the speed limit at the best of times, then you never can.

Its easy to say you would keep to 70 in a 550+hp beast but i doubt you would unless you had cruise control on.

Im suprised mr traffic cop didnt have better things to do like helping the normal police police the drunks in Plymouth!

Tute...you should have waved
