Yes i know that but he blatantly saw lots of people looking at him, no dropping a gear and even still he turned a corner and didnt let the revs build at all. Waste of a car tbph.

Silly comment. 1) He isn't an entertainment act, he doesn't have to impress anyone. 2) even if he did want to impress people, why risk his license?

And how would letting the revs build higher risk you losing your license? no one needs to drive like an idiot to make there car sound nice. What is silly is buying a 130k car and driving like a old woman.

Seen a new XKR ( i think) around town a few times, lovely looking car

Also spotted an M5, but we all know what they look like

maybe its a rental car and he doesnt want to inadvertantly stuff it into a shop by stamping on the loud pedal just to get a few looks..

i saw a 360 spider today, however the owner/driver of this one was more than ok to put his foot down. after a short period along some lanes at 30mph, he got bored and double overtook the cars in front with his foot stamping on the loud pedal. sounded great

LOL that would give me even more reason to give it some. I bet the price on renting one of those is in excess of £1000 a day so get your moneys worth. And ive seen him a few times before so it is his car.

Saw this today on my way to ocuk - got no idea what it is but looked like a audi badge on the back

Pinter75 · 11 Aug 2007 at 14:13

Indeed it is, there must be a guy in winchester who owns one as ive seen it quite a few times last week

Saw a bog standard Vectra today with the stupidest biggest wing on the back, so annoyed as I didn't have my phone/camera on me :mad:

It wasn't your average Halfrauds one either - it was twice the size they normally are!!

The single tail pipe tells you its a 4 pot.

while i am fully aware that it was not an M3 without the need to check... you are aware that some 6 pots came with single exhausts? 320 and 323 both had single pipes ;]
