A smart roadster brabus!!

Will leave anything upto 50mph.....

One of the guys at my main customers has one of these and (not that I noticed him) saw me on a famous roundabout near me told me he got as far as saying to his gf beside him "I know tha...." and I was out of site! It must have been warmed up & I think I may have been playing!

I saw a Ferrari Tributori Fiat 500 in Romford on Monday 1st one I've seen on the road.... looked awsome, but value for money?

My mates ex wife had a Cappuccino, 3 cylinders, turbo charged 650cc I think, remember scoffing about it - until we met one day at a set of lights - I could not catch it - I was on a GSXR 750! straights it stopped pulling away, bends and roundabouts it never slowed down!

Andy it is more like 42k, that is what the supercar dealers are selling them for, there is about 4 for sale, there was a LHD drive one for sale a few months ago, that was 38k. Rip off.

Peugeot 205 1.9 GTi. I mean, I knew they were supposed to be quick, but a mate, who isn't famed for his driving in any way took me out for a backroads blast in his old one. It was just incredible round the lanes, nothing could have matched it.

First time I went in an Impreza as well. Standing water, and the guy had a P22. Drove it faster than I would have driven anything in the dry, loony at the time, but blimey!
