Default You know you got a good car when...

When you can hear the whoosh of air passing the cockpit, the growl from the rear,
the HUGE smile on your face.......

When the 3 lane ring road highway that circles your city is too tight to open the tap fully....
the bend sweeping 2 miles is just too damned tight to get any more speed from her....

Big grin here :-)

Need to find a bigger road I guess....

How fast ???? surely not !!!

Your worried about crossing over the yellow line from watching your car go by in the reflection of the store front glass windows!
8 months later since you purchased it...

When you are running with three Mustangs up Blood Mountain and keeping up with them when, suddenly, the tight turns come up and you leave them behind!

Oh, how I LOVE doing stuff with my car that other, more powerful and expensive cars, can't do!

You let your wife drive it just so you can admire it as it goes down the street.

You know you have a great looking car when other expensive sport cars are stalking you on the streets and highways

I had a play against a new 5 series 3.5 litre powered Beamer the other day, at 150mph he either bottled out or ran out of speed...
He had the edge pulling away at low speads, The XF had the torque and whipped his *** thru roundabouts and bends...

It was good fun and ended with a friendly wave of respect when we went our seperate directions.

The best thing about the Crossfires, it that they are an unknown entity, and look soooo damned mean too.
The Boy Racers simply don't bother trying...... ha ha
