If an SLR owner lies about the performance figures (or how fast you've actually driven it) that snout gets even longer!!

Saw a Gallardo in Richmond this evening, a kind of dull grey colour, not even gunmetal grey, more dark battleship. Went pretty much unnoticed which is pretty much impossible for a Lambo.

Some stuff that people come up with now, confuses me why at all there is a need for it.

Is there a need to have text to screen? I`m sure a bl0gh3ad will put me straight

the lambo in particular looks awfully slabby from that angle


But would have it to sell

That's the problem I have with most of these cars - they all seem to be trying too hard, both in the overworked styling & the overdone chav tat.

It's also what I dislike about Audis (apart from the front reminding me of Rene Magritte's Le Viol): Audi; The VW for those that need to try too hard.

Beat that, BogleBartleHegarty!

two days on motorways......

worst driven cars?

Vauxhall, VAG and WVM

nothing changes

VAG owners particularly Audis with a T on the back and TDi Golfs
seem particularly deluded regarding their car's performance potential

I also agree with a poster on another thread

who said that these drivers are particularly aggressive on crowded roads

What is it about late model Fords - I've recently noticed them, because they have stood out by being outstandingly well-driven. I mean Foci/Mondei, not those C-Men things.

I don't have a Golf TDI these days.

I can rest easy when I see such comment

I don't think my Golf is a performance car.

It is not slow, but I have no delusions that it is fast - (quicker than a GT3 don't forget )

However fairly irrelevant of what car I'm in I'll sit at 85 ish on the motorway.

If something faster comes up, then I'll get out the way

If something slower (or being driven slower) is in front I would expect the same courtesy.

Unfortunately the reality is rarely as you'd wish
