Well only after I had reached the speed limit Don't see the point in getting up to 60-70 mph in a 40 limit

Does that make me an old silver haired bloke

Was still quite nippy though, could have just done with a slightly more sensible driver

I had the same thing happen to me, except it was a Nova with the big exhast, baseball cap wearing driver modifications.

I was really impressed in the variety of geastures I got when they overtook me in a 30 limit and I was doing 30!

Such a shame that the speed camera (in a residential area near a school) happened to be more than active.

I guess some 17 year olds insurance is going up next year!

Driving sensibly and safetly, especially in 30 and 40 areas is not sign of old age setting in!

The Sri V6 is quick once its up to speed, but off the mark its not so hot...beleive it or not I can match one in my old Prelude 2.0...I know because I used to annoy my mate in his all the time!

After 60 it really started to make progress though!

silly speeds in 30/40 zones is well daft and anyone caught deserves to be done.

Cool

It's a Vauxhall. It's crap. & from my experience they're predominantly driving by people who think it's a Ferrari or has stealth technology to allow them to cruise at interstellar speeds.

Let 'em go and chuckle to yourself when you next see them being cut from the wreckage.
