Overtook a Lamborghini this morning!

Post by Zed »

Ok, yes, it was going like 1mph in London's rush hour traffic - but it always amuses me when a car costing 300 times as much is slower :lol:

There's quite a few exotic motors in Aberdeen, I have overtaken Ferraris, Lamborghinis, a MacLaren, Bentleys, Aston Martins, Maseratis and most interestingly an Ariel Atom.

I passed a McLaren Merc SLR in the Blackfriars Underpass once. 8-)

Digressing a little, a Cayman pulled out of a side turning on a rural road I was on a couple of weeks ago. He saw me coming and was not too far off but still pulled out. :x I guess he was making assumptions about the way the car would be driven due to the type of vehicle it is. :roll: Anyhow, he was totally reckless and only gave up trying to pull away after he hit about 110mph. Obviously I didn't do such a silly speed, angellic.gif and I have to admit he was pulling slowly away from me all the time.

I drive a Renault Grand Scenic. But with a 2.0T petrol engine. Think Zafira VXR but a little slower and without the Richard Grant kit. :twisted:

...and a Ferrari this morning.

I just dont get why people drive sports cars in rush hour traffic: you cant see very well, bumpy roads, cant use anything it's designed for, and you must be scared of people scraping the panels?

Especially all those madly grinning scootists whizzing by!
I wake up every morning with a smile upon my face,
My natural exuberance spills out all over the place!
