I made my first journey on the M25 on Monday,
I had a day off & was all chilled out & relaxed with the stereo up, top down, nice weather & heading up to Brands for a trackday.....


My god - I cannot believe the Fastlane Fukwittery that goes on!! I know I'm preaching to the converted here but what a nightmare, shocking lane discipline, bunching up close in lanes 3 & 4 whilst leaving lane 1 & 2 virtually empty, 60mph trucks being overtaken painfully slowly by 61mph trucks, changing lanes without indicating or making last minute dashes accross 3 lanes to a junction - you name it, I saw it!

Perhaps it was driving with the roof off that made me feel more vunerable or aware of what others were doing, I dunno, it was horrid tho.

Track day already in your freshly made mota. Poor little thing he won't know what's hit him.

And yes the M25 is a load of pants.

It's also deafening driving open topped over those concrete expansion gaps. My poor ear drums.

You know what they say 'If you can't beat the prat drivers on the M25, join 'em'

kitty by the way.

Wagons overtaking I have some sympathy for, as they are mostly governed to a ridiculous speed.

It's when you get some deadhead in a Shitrun Picasso overtaking at +2 mph, I get annoyed sometimes.

You have to give them a bit of a break, after all they're as aerodynamic as a brick with a parachute on the back.

Not everybody's as smooth and slippy as an S!

Gazzer, was at a Bike trackday on Monday, spectating mostly but my other duties included: generally ensuring that all my bitches behave themselves, telling them they look good in their leathers, taking photographs, supplying water & generally looking good - oh and taking the 'P' when they fell off or got overtaken by something with a lesser BHP.

I will be doing a trackday with Kittycar soon, but have just spent heaps on new sounds today - so it will have to wait.

That road was just nasty, I'll go the long way round next time!
