Default Just had a race with a BMW M3 in the hamann 5

I was coming back with my mates from london to birmingham we are just out side london when we see the M3 being drivin like a f**kin t**t jumping lanes, cutting everyone up etc, my mate says '' lets have a mess about with the M3'' so i go into Gumball mode gonig into spaces which are not there to go into.Get up the arse of the M3 and put it into sport mode,M3 driver nails it but we are still on this rear bumper.He moves over nito the middle lane and we pull up along side it and see its a bloke driving but he has three girls(models)with him,I have 3 mates with me so we have the same amount of people in the cars.My mate said '' lets show him up big time'' 1 of the girls waves at us as in to say bye bye.But we are still on their bumper he moves over again and we say bye bye to them instead.Kept my foot down all the way to 175mph in which i s**t myself and so did the mates.The car still wanted to go faster.We see the M3 again later on andtwo of the girls are pointing their fingers at us and smile at us the bloke wasn't so happy. Anyway this just goes to show if you show off somebody will show you up

That is one of the most heroic stories I've ever heard.

AND it had a moral.

Just like He-Man used to.

6.50pm and JUST had a race (so wouldve been before 6pm so rushhour), upto 175mph, on the Brum to London road, ie the M40, ie one of the busyest roads in the UK.

In a car that has an engine over a litre bigger than thought.



I bet the race was just like this

Bet it almost felt like it was in a movie you was watching on TV eh?

15 yards....excessive BULLSHIT - loss of credibility, loss of posting priviliges

175 in a street car on a public road (IN TRAFFIC) makes you a certified idiot.

You should look at the post where the KID in the Skyline took out 3 or 4 people trying to be impressive in daddy's car and learn something from it, but my guess is that you won't

Feel free to go back to starring in your own version of 'the adolescent and the angry' not coming soon to theaters near anyone.

Well teh Hamann 5 series does seem to be a bit of an animal. 6.1 V12 with 450bhp and a top speed of 311kph (192mph). wess says he slipped it into sport but according to link posted by EIL132 they come with a 6 speed manual box and not with a auto.

EscCos replica to a Hamann 5 is a bit of a jump though and I dread to think what the insurance and purchase costs would be on one
