Had my first scare today, all ended well though ;)

Well, heading up the road to get some tyres, I decided to overtake a slower moving Vauxhall, so, I depressed pedal and the car kicked down two gears (auto) well, I suddenly gathered much speed and thought, okay enough is enough, however someone decided they'd fit about 5 car mats to it and the accelerator pedal decided it would wedge under these. I don't think I've ever seen a road clear so fast when people saw 1.5 tonnes of german steel flying towards them at ???mph, anyway, I managed to free it off and came to a stop safely.

She went well though!, the straight six sound was awesome!

Hee Hee you found the kick down then ? Always amazes me how fast the horizon approaches you.
