Well that explains that. I've never been on the M4 at peak. Only during
the day when i pick up cars from Croydon Autosports :) I tested a WRX Sti
for speed coming onto the M4 from silverwater road. God damn they got some
pull. I hit 140km in no time! I slowed down real quick tho cause it aint
my car and dun wanna get booked in someone elses car. I usualy have a rule
that i dont speed or thrash in other peoples car. It works most of the time
but the Sti just had to be booted.
