I can't believe you tried to go past me on the A1!

That was downright cheeky!

Hope you enjoyed the lovely view of the rear of my car lol

I was surprised how quick Rupert's S80 was.

I started off behind you on the A1 but came past in the traffic - I waved but you didn't see me. Then the traffic died away and I put the autobox into sportmode and ...................... need I say more. It took me a while to catch up with Rupert, that S80 can shift.

Would you like to rephrase that? The only time you came past me was when I was stuck in traffic and then you made an UNSUCCESSFUL attempt at undertaking me - which is illegal by the way lol.

Oh and who does that silver S70 in the right hand lane IN FRONT OF YOU belong to in the photo:

Lol, nah I didnt undertake you, the inside lane was just moving faster. I wouldnt say it was unsuccessful anyway, it would have been more unsuccessful if I continued to undertake you and integrated myself into the 700R

You bloody outside laners....
