Such was the look of surpise indeed horror on most faces at my surprise appearance at Ace........it caught a few people on the hop!
Outlining my circuitious route to the Ace cafe sans Maserati and saying I was going back by train from Victoria to Horley, Peter ( Urbanmaser) very kindly offered to give a me a lift in completely the opposite direction to where he needed to go.
The curtain came down on the meet about 9pm and off we set in Peters 2007 Gransport. Firstly, its magnificent to look at, cossetted in every way and even better, fabulous to be a passenger in. It wants for nothing and has only done 16K miles in its 6 years, is there a nicer GS out there?
I only really get to drive my own 62K miles 4200 and the differences were very obvious, the car felt much tighter, with standard exhausts sounded so much more refined, suspension very good too.
We set off, negotiating endless sets of lights til we came upon a few sections of English urban "autobahn", without warning ( I need at least 5 whole seconds)....Peter floored it...not fully...but full enough, we urged forward, zipping past the common man in his common car....street lighting became a blur, gravity was defied, blood drained from the front of my body..........Goooooooodddddddddddd..........was it fun!
This happened a number of times.....Peter relishing each time we took off..........utterly divine!
After dropping me like a hot potato near Victoria ( ie didn't want to get spotted by the traffic division and acrue more points) he sped off into the darkness.......
So....conclusion being..........Peter Urbanmaser is no more..........................................arise Sir Speedalot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS In a Huhne like moment of weakness I stupidly offered to take 9 of Peters points if those flashing traffic cameras are anything to go by!!!!
