Chipped diesel 1 series?

I'm normally laughing too much to concentrate on overtaking them. Especially the "noddy car" saloon / convertible. :D

There's one on my commute that's quite persistent. No way its on standard power looking at the figures. Although it is only one shoe of the pair.

M3.

I tried. I failed. I thought I may be able to retain some honour under braking and through the roundabouts, but I need to remember that GY F1 tyres aren't Dunlops.

Sorry, shame brought on all of us.

If you find one that can actually be driven properly, you'll have no chance. Dunlop's or not. Certainly none on f1's. Mr TB bitten off more than he can chew. ;D

I encountered a focus on weds night. It didn't go well. But managed a minor victory, even if it did have 4 wheel drive and very obvious supercharger belt and turbo noises along with either a flat 4 or v8 with a blowing exhaust type sound track. Suspect heavily lowered gearing too. :o ;D
