I guess a DPF doesn't catch all the soot ...

Driving on a B road earlier.....past Shack's part of the world...on my way to Chilton Foliat (great name for a village I reckon, btw)

Came up behind 10 cyclists riding two a breast....and as Shack will know its quite a quick B road but its not that wide and does have some fairly tight corners...

So I'm behind the cyclists and see a gap, ie nothing coming towards me but there is a bend in the distance...

So I drop to 3rd and floor the mighty 1.6TD to get past asap ..... get past and check rear view mirror to make sure I'm safe to pull back onto the nearside....ummm I seem to have left the cyclists in a great big cloud of soot....oh dear  ;D ;D ;D

Affectionately known across the water as 'Rolling Coal'.  :y  Many clips on YouTube showing cyclists disappearing in to a black fog. They don't look best pleased for some reason.  ::)
My fun car is a 2020 Bmw F32 430d M Sport with indicators.
My cruiser is an Audi A6 Avant S Line Black Edition with indicators.

Ah yes, the beloved 4192, try the back road from Ramsbury to Marlborough, they ride 2 abreast on that!!! >:(

Seems like a perfectly acceptable thing to do to Wiggins wannabes.
