Was coming home on the M25 when I spotted a silver CLK with AMG body kit and massive wheels up close, two cars behind me. Slowley it worked it's way up behind me, as it did with the others, staying 2 foot away from my bumper at 80mph with it's fog lights on for about 5 minutes in the flow of traffic. This i can not stand from any car. <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>
I wasn't sure if it was a real CLK55 AMG or just a body kit car. Just incase it was an AMG, I downshifted to 3rd at 80mph keeping the same speed, in anticipation for a long strech to clear in front of me and then the chance came- nailed it all the way to redline in 3rd and manualy shifted into 4th at 120mph and kept it there for a few minutes.
Looked in the mirror and he was miles behind <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
I slowed down, and eventualy he passed with both the driver and the passenger looking humiliated <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
Moral of the story: never tail gate cars, especially ones that go faster than yours!!! <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
The girlfriend never woke up throughout the adventure, which was handy <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
