The other day I was cruising along as usual in my BMW coming onto one of my motorways, which was very busy with inferior cars. First off, I couldn't believe that the volume of traffic DIDN'T slow down for me AT ALL as I came off the slip road! I had to squeeze into a barely big enough gap between two cars in order to get onto my motorway! (The driver of the car behind me did realise his mistake though and honked an apology to me with a long blast of his horn.)

 

Unbelievably, I had to do the same again before I could get to the BMW lane. (Why do underlings use this lane? Surely everyone knows it is for BMW drivers only?) Anyway, once I was in the BMW lane and posing along at 110mph enjoying the adulation that the inferior car drivers were giving me, I noticed an inferior car ahead of me which was not only in the BMW lane of my motorway, but was driving at a ridiculous 70 mph! Naturally, I got to within a foot or so of his rear bumper and flashed my headlights to remind him he shouldn't be in the BMW lane of my motorway and to get out of my way. Of course, once he realised it was a BMW behind him, he did just that, but I could hardly believe it when he pulled straight back out behind me! He also tried to keep up with me and when he realised I would out-run him, he put on some blue lights in his front grill and urged me to get onto the hard shoulder so that he could congratulate me on my excellent car. Needless to say, I was eager to oblige and when we had stopped, the man gave me a piece of paper confirming what I already knew - that my car goes fast!

 

Apparently he wants everyone to know what a superior car I have, so I had to take my driver's licence to a Police Station to be sent away to have some points put on! (They're not free points either - they're £20 each and I was only allowed 3.) But the man at the Police Station said that because I drive a BMW, it won't be much longer before I earn the full 12 points, and then I won't even NEED a driving licence, so they will take it off me! See, now THAT's the sort of respect you get when you buy and drive a BMW!

LOL! ......but too true for comfort:(

But we have the last laugh cos we buy a good car, they buy a badge !!;) :D

 

David Brent would drive a BMW.:p

Yeah, he'd have a 318 with BIG spoiler & blue neon screen jets!:D :D

 

I love that program!

Nelson, your post about The Fast And The Furious with no ZX's in on the 200 board.......

 

 

I think you should do some research.

 

The film was inspired by an article some one read in a paper about street racing. In the article a 300ZX raced a Mitsubishi Starion and only just won. The Starion driver then wanted a re-match but had his arsed kicked.

 

Also the real person who Dom's character was based on, drives a 300ZX and they where planning on him to have a ZX. Proof of this can be seen in the extra features of the DVD, on the computer animated screen test of the first street race.

 

Here are the screen shots of the animation. With a red Z infront ;)

The way the cars where chosen where people turned up and they went purly on looks. Obviously the beauty of the ZX means it doesnt need any stickers, huge stupid wings or strange colours to stand out ;)

Stuart - I knew about what you said (in general terms) - but the fact remains (not being snotty;) that there were no 300ZXs in the F&TF. The film may have been inspired by them, and there may be one on DVD extras, but not in the standard film release.

 

It was said as a joke. I have no axe to grind either way - I own one of both and they each have good and bad points - they are different kinds of cars.

 

Dave.

Did you not see the ;)

 

And the other ;)

 

It was light hearted.

 

Plus there are 2 in the Race Wars scene and 2 in the final credits. :D

 

 

And as I said before they where all picked on thier kitted out look and not on anything else. Maybe they didnt see any kitted out Z's. You have to admit that all the main cars where a little OTT.

BMW's again lol

 

and the fast and the furious owns i saw it well b4 it came out over here then rushed to buy it when it did :)
