Default April 22nd drive back to uni

It was time as usual to make my treck back to uni, from somerset in the south west of england to london and my uni. 1stly as i came home lacking a bike (after it was stolen) last term, and now have a bike, fitting this into my car, with everything i brought back was a bit of a task!!
(sorry for picci quality they r all taken wiv my camera phone!)

Car loaded up (with new hella front indicators):




So i set off on the trip up, making good progress, then what do i spy coming quick in my rear view mirror!?!?



So, as i was in a line of traffic following a passing lorry, i let him past to have a look, he gave me a wave, and saw i was interested!



So then when the others pull over, he fuckin drops it! And pissed away! Next thing im doin 110:



and he's still disapearing! I mean it was an old guy in it, wiv roof down, i wasnt expecting him to do that!!!!
Ive got a short vid from my phone of him caning it away from me like im standing still, but its again from my phone, pretty shitty quality and in 3GP format + i cant host it.

Anyway, he pulled off to somwhere else, then on the M3 i come across an NSX!



But he didnt wanna play:



Then im entering london and dejavoo (spelling!??):



He went up the outside at a roundabout and lost me, but he was ragging it aswell!!
Wat is it with today, ive only ever seen SL55's being driven slowly! lol

Well that was my trip up, sorry its not too exciting, but i thought i'd share sum of my experiences!
Cheers

Nice Maybe he was on his way home from his Mistress house - and was in a good mood since he just shagged 'er - and has to face another week holed up with the old hag wife in a Chelsea Townhouse...

Its a nokia 6600, and yes there are lots of speed cameras in london, but the bit where i am goin quick is on the A303 which is a main road away from london. Plus i have driven this route many times, and know where the speed cameras are, its the bloody mobile camera units and patrol cars that are a little more trickey to spot!!!

A3/M25 junction is where we go mostly. It is called Wisley Woods. I predict a trip to the hospital while I am on the Klien!

Get some pics up of the new addition! Believe it or not, the bike is really good for some trials moves. Back hopping is really easy once you find its balance point. Try getting in the 180 hops. I hope you have some good locks!

Oh, it also rocks on the road. The number of drivers I have surprised by keeping up with them in London is quite amusing.
