Lost control of my sphincter earlier today
Had a bit of a fright this morning on the M11 going up to Stansted. Dark blue 530d with one bloke in it, got closer and closer to me then pulled out and accelerated past - I was doing a little(?!) over the speed limit at the time. So I thought I'd give him a bit of a chase, got up to just over 105 following him then I pulled past and hammered the gas pedal... Ooops..
No, I didn't lose control or crash, or anything like that. The car was great in fact, too bloody great... It was the flashing blue light in the front grille of the 5er I had just spanked that was the problem!! Pulled over on the hard shoulder, bloke got out, came up to the window and very casually asked me if I knew how fast I was going. I answered - "A little bit faster than you?" Credit to him though, he did have a good laugh, and after warning me on the dangers of driving so fast, then started talking about my car and how it drove etc... His 530d is chipped too, as are most of the unmarked pursuit cars apparently. Even so he was pretty impressed with how bloody quickly I went past him, or as he put it - "you went from 100 to 130 so fast and if you had carried on I'd have called the chopper out. But don't do that again because next time I won't let you off." I regained control of my sphincter some hours later...

He let you off because he could not nick you on his own i presume?! Did he still give chase to 130? Naughty really how they gode you aint it

Was an SE on a 56 plate. He let me off I think because a) he couldn't be bothered, b) he did comment that I was driving in a very controlled manner at very high speeds, indicating where needed and displaying proper lane discipline, c) he was doing 100 plus when he went past me the first time, d) he actually likes cars and BMs in particular He did give chase, or rather he caught up with me at just over 130 and then stuck the blue lights on

Close call Tony, and as you said he was respectful of the way you were driving, it does sometimes count, as does wearing a short skirt!

Was taking Nat to the airport.. were running a little late..! Still, London Oxford Street to Stansted Airport car park in 49 minutes, including my little poo break, isn't too bad!!!! Funny thing is that Nat commented minutes before I got pulled over how stable and flat my car handles at speeds, and that it really doesn't feel like we're going much above 80 at all...

It does count sometimes, although today was completely down to luck rather than anything else. Really stupid of me to drive that quickly in all honesty, especially in the UK

That's probably cos you flash a smile and a stocking top! My Miswah has been stopped a couple of times (years ago) in my old R5 GT Turbo. She got away with speeding by being 'girly'! Unfair advantage I say
