Driving to work this morning in the dark (about 6:30am) through notorious stretch of roo country I was sitting on 100km/h in my SV8. Now doing 100km/h in roo country just before sun-up makes me a bit of an f'wit, but being on my own I can run with high beams and "hopefully" spot anything ahead.
Anyway, a far greater f'wit roars up behind me and literally is sitting up my *** .. so close that I cannot see his headlights ( which is nice 'cos they were aligned properly anyway and they were annoying as he approached! ![]() So when I see a roo and jump on the anchors in my SV8 (ABS and all), the XF sitting a few meters behind me will either: 1. Stop without hitting me because of it's superior braking 2. Simply drive around me and the roo because of it's superior handling and inbuilt "stability control". So .. do I need to trade in to buy what must be obviously (based upon driver characteristics) the best car ever built? |
