About 8ish in a cerbera/chimera?

If so... WTF exhaust is on that beast? It sounded like a WWII fighter plane. Quite liked it really but I can't believe you ever pass a)an MOT or b)a policecar without being pulled.

Never heard so much crackling and popping on the overrun.

Good work smile I was following you for a bit in my GT2 before you turned off...

Im betting a de-catted Cerb. Only ever been pulled by the police once for "sounding fast" at 5:30am on a deserted residential road doing about 25mph. rolleyes

May have been me coming back from Heathrow - came off M4 at Jn6 and went through Windsor... possibly around half 8?

No I think this chap was earlier, and went under the M4 from Slough. Does your car sound like a spitfire and crackle and pop on the overrun like a gunfight?

Funnily enough my exhaust has a little gap in the middle where the cats were fitted to get it through the MoT - as a result is sounds *exactly* like a Spitfire which made me think it may have been me you spotted, but I wasn't coming the way you describe. Most Cerberas will pop and crackle on the overrun and I have to say, mine's a particularly good 'un for that

Good call by whoever it was though - there's not much else that will get you out of Slough as quickly as a Cerbera...

Do I look like a woman? lol. Sorry no idea what colour it was but was there a 911 behind you, passing you as you took the Windsor slip? If so, wavey
