yes not wanting to make to much of a big thing about it.. cause it's hardly my proudest moment...

but the Policeman said they were doing over 110 and I was pulling away very quickly...

as they say.. M5 - absolute power corrupts absolutely... :oops: :oops:

no that's exactly the point...

in many ways that's why I love the Roadster S by comparrison.. obviously it's not even close to being as brutally quick.. but you can have load more fun and much more reasonable speeds.. and it's just more like driving rather than piloting an F16
