Was heading into leamington yesterday with the Mrs (yes +1), and just off the M69 I saw what looked like a legendary M-Coupe (i farkkkking love them), anyway we were cruising down past the Ben Hur roundabout down towards the A46. Down the A46 sliproad he booted it full whack, and i was at this point 20 yards behind him just smiling...so he booted it and
i dropped the gears and tried my hardest to follow him.
Without saying too much and without exagerating, in what i estimate to be a 20/30 second chase, he pulled maybe 5 car lengths.
But as soon as i hit warp speed, i backed off as i like my licence.
We got off the A46, and he too was going my way. Stopped at some lights and
we both booted it down the road to the next set as we were still in a dual lane. He really didn't pull that much on me given the extra power. At the next set he wound his window down and commented on how quick the 172 was, as he'd never been up against one.
Was a lovely car though, seriously a car i would LOVE to own even if only for a year. Hens' teeth are more common, and the M3 coupe (for me) just speaks batmobile cool. Oh and it sounded like orgasm on tap!
There was an R32 having a pop too, but i think the driver was a bit poo as he just wasn't keeping up with us, was a woman driver though
