I was in the Scoob that gave you a licking on the M40!

Bet you didn't see that comming...

What happened....

We were both side by side after having a bit of play already....
Clear stretch on the M40 and we looked at each other.... (i was actually checking out the fit bird sat next to him )

Speed = 80mph... We both booted it at the same time...
The Car did me proud.... turbo kicked in straight away and I edged away... by 95 I was a half a car length ahead...
We continued up to 150 and he was struggling.. tailing behind getting further away... I then backed off and he pulled along side me and gestured in a respectful way!

When he took on the challenge... he could never of imagined it My brother thought it was cool too! He didn't expect it either!
And this was all done on a safety map!

How good did I feel!


Disclamer... all the speeds mentioned are actually ficticious (excuse the spelling aint got a clue on that one! might even be right!) and this was all done from 10mph to 69.8 mph

Thumbs up

What time was this - I was in my scoob and just missed a red 355 - this was on the A4 at 12.30am - I had turned off and considered going back to have a go!

Go on you mate - must be well chuffed - whats the specs on your car? One thing I thought the scoobs lacked in was the 80mph+ pulling power (unfortunately I've had fiat coupes and BMWs shat on me in that range!)
