KevSull Too Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I enjoy flashing M3's to get out of the way, and watching "Tarquin" wonder how that silly little red car is keeping up with his "Ultimate Driving Machine" 😬 😬  😬You laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you because you're all the same. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Well I DO like my BMW. Big family estate car (540i) that is pretty much as fast in a straight line as my Caterham (weedy 140bhp SV). Obviously no where near as much fun, but shaming Bosxters off the lines is still quite enjoyable.... And LOTS of room for toys in the back.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Barbie Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 My M3 would show quite a few sevens the four pipe salute, I'd not expect to lose out to anything other than my seven and above 😬   shrewdcookie - my Caterham site - UPDATED ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Elizabeth Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Not entirely sure a 540i is going to shame my Boxster S off the line. Having seen how sloooowly you were going at Brands last year, Count, I am surprised you beat anything !  *tongue*  So is anyone using a marker pen to record how high we have wee-ed up the side of the shed ?

Rhubarb Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Boxster S would win... but standards ones are about even. My Beemer is a manual which helps a bit.... I'm not saying its the fastest thing ever, but considering it is an estate with no flash body kit of bling bling wheels people don't expect it to move the way it can. As they say, talk softly and carry a big engine... 😬 As for the weeing.... reminds me of a mate who poohed himself whilst trying to piss the highest over a fence in Canberra before the Lions vs Brumbies match! 😬 😬   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I really do like BMW's. 😬 Just about to change present one for another 5 series.  Great cars................................sorry.  Brent  Zetec 209 Reassuringly Expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I find M3s get in the way. Even if they get a start I have to short shift by a fair amount to keep out of their boot. The problem is you can't short shift out of 6th.... My dad finds his 5 series (530, old shape) with him driving is quicker than the scooby WRX he sometimes sees on his commute along the twisties to work... HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 To be honest, any car that's being driven well and considerately is great. Even including BMWs. And I didn't really believe the old stereotypes about the BMW drivers until I got my 7 and started doing a lot more driving.  But I'm afraid that there are a lot of people out there who do a lot of other things other than driving whilst behind the wheel. And many of them I come across driving BMWs... These past few weeks, I've seen countless phone calls in the overtaking lane of the M4, a lady doing her lippy and a chap shaving. Yes, really. On the M1 the other week I saw a bloke re-writing a presentation with his 5-series in several lanes. *eek* My ... Preciousss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
