Driving along minding my own business.....around a roundabout, onto a duel carriageway which has SPECS speed cams on it. Now I always make sure that I keep to the speed limit average on a road with SPEC cams.

Anyway, all of a sudden a silver Porsche 997 comes screaming up behind me, lights blazing away and wanting to desperatly pass me, probably to show me how fast his car is! When I was 17/18yrs old I always felt the need to prove how fast my car was, but now that I drive a Tuscan 2S, I somehow do not feel the need as I would expect any petrolhead to know his stuff about cars.

I know where the next camera is so I carry on 'tootling' along until I was around 200yrds away from the next camera and pull over into the left hand lane. The Porsche goes screaming past me, rear spoiler up and proceeds past the camera at roughly 95 to 100mph.

It seams that 3 points on a licence to a porsche driver is worth trying to show a TVR how fast his car is.

Made my day!!!

Also it could be one of those car pool jobbies with a foreign license! The number of well-off chaps I've come across who have more than one international license is bloody amazing.

Had a Gallardo shoot down the A14 a few weeks back, probably cutting 150ish past 3 cams, with no desire to slow down! Fair play to them, the roads were empty and my fat jap arse was taking up the left lane so not much of a safety threat.

I dont think the driver was local as it was on a London plate and I saw it in Nottingham.

If the disparaging comments in the Nottingham thread are anything to go by the Porsche driver couldn't get out of the city fast enough!
