This was my trusty friend for 5 years.Flogged mercilessly around the globe.As a car to show off in it was unmatched..its 0 to 60 time was so quick it was difficult to measure.On a trip back from Goring on Thames one night the love interest with me was moaning and moaning about everything in life...blah ..blah....and an XJS came by at circa 100.I followed it onto the M11 got near North Weald where there is a bit of a slope,he started moving across all lanes to stop me coming by.I said to Carol...famous words..'Pull on your harness straps( 5 point Sabelt) we are going to the moon'

'Michael I hate going fast'.....'My dear you are going to love it ..trust me'.........The prat got up to 120 ,I hung back took a run at him,put all my lights on (they were so bright that on a Motorway on full beam the reflection off the blue direction signs blinded you)...and whizzed by him in excess of 150.As we blasted by he gave my passenger a one finger salute..so childish.She gave him better..........'I said you would enjoy it'.

Madness really.....not many years ago.I think that might have been licence away? It's just that there is a certain type of person that have to be put in their place.And he was one of them.
