Surprise surprise, here's another D3 in Aberdeen, this one heading south over the river Dee around 6pm. I came alongside him on the Riverside dual carriageway but the driver wasn't taking me on - obviously he was feeling a bit insecure against the B10 V8

You must have just missed me Chas as I was on that road in the B3 about that time.
Cheers, Mark.

He might be, but when I go up to see my Dad in September I don't suffer with insecurity
You'd only beat me on the Motorway Chas.

Motorway, A-road, B-road or track. I'd choose my steed accordingly and you'd only see my tail-lights

You obviously haven't driven the V8 properly, or not at all

Sorry i'm late
Interesting debate really if i say took my B10 round Donington & then the D3 i'm not to sure which one would give me the quickest lap.
What the D3 lacks in the power department it certainly makes up for with its handling, so the debate's still open for me.
