and there was another thing I have seen twice in last couple of weeks, a Blue and White BMW, looks like an expensive sports machine,  ...  :o

Quick look at google, could it be an i8 ?


I've seen an i8 around Auckland a few times.

The odd thing is that the Mobil only has 95, where the BP across the road had 98 . . .

I see from the report that speed was not involved so I would suggest it was probably a classic case of letting a gap open up ahead and then booting it to give the passenger a thrill and nekminit the back was at the front.

What a muppet.

Imagine trying to keep with the pace of those modern supercars with their ESP making poor drivers look like superheros, and your in an old school supercar with nothing to save your butt.

I feel like that everyday... driving my '72 Beetle, while the Touran is getting "sorted".

I nearly beat a Hyundai Getz in traffic light drags too  ;D

When adhering to the speed limit it would be no problem to keep up in a Hyundai, I know how those runs work with a spotter at the front....but what ever the cause good on him for trying to be a hero.
