RossG Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Try this... After viewing yet another crappy property that is overpriced and not up to scratch, I asked Mrs RossG to drive the Furb home and I followed in her Meg. Wow - its brilliant fun watching your own car drive down the street. Really gives the chance to see it from all sorts of angles that you don't normally, as well as seeing how it moves around and what rattles etc. Mrs RossG did brilliant too, knowing when to overtake, when to blast away etc. Just two problems though... I really didn't know that it smoked that much . Huge great clouds of grey/black crap, that at times obscured the entire back of the car , and... The two foot long Tyresmoke sticker on the back becomes just a tad mesmerising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] yep, i've been telling people this for ages, and no-one listens ...new audis and new bm's still chuck soot. they're getting better, but that wouldn't be hard... following a couple of older ones is like flying behind a red-arrows display!

RossG Posted August 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 When we were on the way to LM, Dave in the Elise 111s made a few comments over the walkie talkie about the Fabia choking him with the soot. I thought it was in jest, but having seen it with my own eyes tonight I'm not so sure I would hate to be roof down in a cab following me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to wave them goodbye when I said goodbye to the VXT ! Usually, when I see someone else driving my car, I have some kind of panic attack !

Thorburn Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 On the way to the cab meet I had to follow Durusaku, then when more joined the convoy I was behind A_S! Then again, those two combined still wouldn't of been as bad as what must of been the worlds oldest, worst maintained, Ford Transit that I was stuck behind for a few minutes, I've never been so keen to overtake anything!

[/ QUOTE ] No it should be making it better by increasing the certene levels. But it does seem that modern aga's do seem to smoke more then the older ones though.

NewNiceMrMe Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I once drove my wifes *then* Focus TDCi whilst she drove my old E46 M3 Coupe. I was able to watch it in front of me for all of about 60 seconds...after which the little devil floored it and disappeared. As I pulled up in her car at home, there was mine parked up in the garage, all the shopping out, and her and the kids inside the house! It did look impressive as it disappeared mind you!
