Porkies words are right.

Only thing flawed with them are the " dont need to risk a custodial sentence to have fun "

I drive the M3 to work everyday and go for the speed limiter both on the way there and the way back.

I heard the coppers don't appreciate that stuff - regardless of whether u did it in a sierra or an m3 lol.

I love my car. Its a total all rounder. I wouldnt have a convert unless I had lots of other cars.

its currently so well balanced its awesome.

Cheers

RW
