Mmm, it's a nice morning, I thought when I awoke this Sunday. I'll take the Cerb out for a drive around. Whilst enjoying a spirited drive I rounded a 45 degree right- hander to find a BMW with Dutch (I think) plates on it coming toward me on the wrong side of the road. The driver had forgotten which country they were in and it was taking them a moment for the penny to drop. I had to hit the brakes really hard but I was not yet in a straight line so the back stepped out to road edge as I was giving it some oppo to get it straight again. The Beemer swerved back onto its side of the road and we passed each other. Pheeew.

I wasn't driving aggressively because I was on guard for the many cyclists enjoying the Sunday too but it didn't stop me going for another hours worth of enjoyment.

However, could have been a different story. Just thought I'd share it.

I was out for a drive and came accross 4 horses with riders trotting along the road, what a job I had to go post them without the Cerbera popping and banging from the exhaust!!Almost expected to see carnage behind me when I looked in the rear view mirror..

That must have been scary!

As for horses, lots of them round here, I have to creep past in the Tuscan in 4th gear at about 15 mph and wait until I am a quarter of a mile away before opening it up with any sort og gusto
