Driving should have smiles-per-hour! - colin-e
Yesterday was a great driving day....

The sun was shining, and there was barely a cloud in sight, so I pulled the covers off the '928 and took it out for a run.

Within a few minutes of heading out, I'd been followed by a Ferrari 348; spotted an imaculate 911 and overtaken a gleaming 944 convertible.

It was as if the '80s were back....if I'd had a Level 42 cassette, it would have been perfect!

Throw in the fellow motorists offering a friendly wave, or craning their necks to get a closer look at the '928, and it made a great motoring day.

Modern classic cars, out and about, bringing recent motoring history back to life.

Forget about driving quickly. Its not miles-per hour that counts these days, its smiles-per-hour!

Lucky you Colin! Same weather for me, Southbound on the A1 between Colsterworth and Stamford in a non a/c courtesy car; overtook a removal truck and pulled in to let faster moving traffic past. Headlights flashed, hooting and agressive tailgating, then overtook me and disappeared down the outside lane at a speed in XS of 80 mph! What is the limit, on a dual carriageway, for a curtain sided rigid body truck? I bet it isn't even 70!

Absolutely correct. When the sun is shining I love nothing better than to roll the 6 series out of the garage and enjoy some old skool fun. If she'll start that is. Miles more fun than the RS4 while being considerably slower.
