Talking !) mins of pure elation!

No, not that..............!

Went to work in the ZS180 (as per usual) until a Merc AMG something cut me up on a bend. The red mist decended, and I chased him along the next straight, only to get the "bird" out of the drivers window. ROAD RAGE!!
Changed down and booted it. He gave up and slowed down at about warp factor5, and waved at me. HONOUR SATISFIED. Pleased is not a strong enough word. Not bad for a "tricked up Rover" matey, for a tiny fraction of the cost of an AMG Merc.

I an a happy boy, the smile hasnt left my face yet, and that was 30 mins ago........

All on your private runway of course?

Probably not something you should be admitting to on a public forum

No mention of speed mate ... No worries. Just don't let the "rage" thing in. Realise what your doing, remain in control and you'll be even more satisfied when you achieve the nod of recognition. Imagine family being in the car with you and drive with that in mind, in that you wouldn't endanger them.

Glad it made your day !

There was before the edit

Don't worry, no one noticed apart from a boring old fart who has been up for the last 19 hours

(Now get that smile back onto your face Mr.!)

Book speed for a 180 is 139 (or was it 135? - pretty sure it's 139 though).
