Lane 1 packed with shopping trolley hatches and people carriers, lane 2
clear, Me in the Saab, Guards red air cooled 911 turbo, and a V-Spec R34
GT-r. Using 2 and where there was one 3rd lane to full value. The sound
of 3 turbo cars spooling up and taking turns to slipstream then blast
past is awesome. And yes if either of them had been really going for it
I would have been left for dead, but all three of us were happy to sit
between 70-80, and punch past at between cough and 3 figure cough.

At one point, one the M57 it was Porsche, me, Skyline in lanes 1,2,3
That must have looked awesome from behind, two whale tails and an
ironing board with turbos whistling. There is never a camera when you
need one.

Unexpected little moments like that are all the better for that element of
surprise.

We were all leaving the car show, 2 or 3 cars apart, them from the
exhibitors exit, me from the public one.

100mph with a whistling turbo is so cool in a sub�400 car.
