Silver cerb spotted slipstreaming an ambulance - M1

[Pete B]

Saw a silver cerb in the slipstream of an ambulance with blues on, 3rd lane of M1 in heavy traffic northbound on sunday. I thought you "crafty git", thats certainly one way of getting through the traffic, reminded me of a certain Bruce Willis film.

how did you fair against the 500hp fiats julian? times and speeds? did you better 12.3 / 118mph?

Joolz,

The car feels quicker through the gears with the "new" induction kit (I'll send you some pics), exactly how much I am not sure, because I didn't get to Santa Pod until 10am at which point they already had 300 signed on, so I couldn't run. They eventually said that we could sign on at 1230am, but then the heavens openend and it poured down! Racing started again at about 1530, the queues were massive so I didn't bother. The 500bhp fiat ran a 12.35secs at 118mph, very impressive. I had a run with him on the way to the Pod and there was nothing in it. I reckon I could get a 12.1

You might of spotted me, I was in the 1st lane driving my 1939 Lincoln Zephyr coupe, blue, very curvy with great big whitewalls, saw you glance accross.<p> Got a cerb at home, totally different driving experiances, the cerb has a V8 whereas the zephyr has a V12, although its not quite as quick as the cerb. It sits a little bit higher too.<p> Rare car though, only 18 RHD versions ever built & about as reliable as a cerb, that flat-head V12 sure can get hot quick!

Nice motor, I can remember glancing across and seeing your car........should've joined me behind the ambulance

I would've done but getting accross the traffic with indicators that no one seems to notice is hard work, I was also keeping on the nearside incase she boiled over.
