It worked, but only because I wanted to look through the fireworks. If you're going to wrap that thing in your garage up like that, the least you could do is put a bow on it at this time of year. Merry Christmas to all ...

Bob,

Yeah good one... I just wanted to make sure that you didn't roll down the freeway on those roller skates

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you.

I had a little go with a M3 a couple of years ago when the current model had just been introduced, it took the form of a rolling start drag race from 30 MPH to the 155 cut out that the M3 has. No large difference was the conclusion over 3 or so drags. The M3 has a lot more power than the standard 993 that i was in, but it is a big car and very heavy, when following i had to feather the throttle a little, but was getting a small 'tow' from the M3. It was good clean fun and the M3 moved aside to let me pass when it had reached it's limiter.
If you are wondering, it was in Germany..... I love their attitude to driving fast, but safe...

What's wrong with passing M3s? I do it all the time!

Ahhh, it counts as a pass when they are going the other way, doesn't it?

Merry Christmas!!!

I almost got nailed today by an '06 Civic, but my LWF gave me a couple feet on him by the time we reached the 40mph speed limit. Merry Christmas.
