Got to love these.

I do all of them i think (apart from abba that is though). Get a bit of Dire Straights and everyone stares at you in the middle of town.

Got to love the 30mph and then go at dual carriage ways. That always shocks the bmw sales rep trying to get past you in their 3 series.

Its also the top speed of the 740 turbos that scare some people including me. My Mate saying : Is that the needle that just went past the end of the speedo?

Best one for me was an astra trying to race me from the lights. I won that race and then had to brake sharply for the next set of traffic lights. He couldn't stop in time. His response - What the hell have you done to those brakes. Me - nothing, thats the stock brake system.
