for example, i was in a rush ealier and took me cabrio out for a spin to the shops, 4 mile drive there, anyway i was driving at 30, got to trafic lights and i wanted to get past everyone so i decided to undertake in the bus lane ( yes they do have a use )

anyway i was trying to undertake a 4motion gold and fook me did i look a wanker , he not only passed me he pulled in the bus lane to under take other cars

my car has quick responce till ya hit 2500 then theres fook all there
