BMW M5 spotted
Discussion
Saw a really nice M5 reg. k**5 bmv on the a603 as it overtook me today, slightly irked at the fact you then decided me traveling at 90 was too fast for you and braked to 70, no problem if you had let me overtake but alas you didn't and then proceeded to perform the most shocking display of driving i have ever seen
Yes, it was a joke, but it can't have been that well disguised if it only took a minute to rumble it's cover.
I was actually endevouring to lighten the mood of the thread, I hadn't expected anyone to interpret it as a direct attack. I assumed that the fact that it was posted in the BMW forum would have been a big enough clue; people generally don't come out with deliberately confrontational comments in here. Or so I thought, apparently I was wrong.

Hows the M5 plodding along? Ran it in yet?
(ive just had my metal dustcaps nicked, i know, i know its not major, but im bricking it that they'll come back for the wheels)

Very strange, maybe he was varying his speed according to road conditions? still doesn't explain problems you had with his driving after he slowed down though.
I know people sometimes give me funny looks when I overtake them at 90+++ on a motorway, and they then overtake me as I've slowed down to pass a sliproad or go through roadworks etc.....
