on the way to work

it is winter in Sydney so it is dark when i travel to work in the morning. This morning at about 5.30am i was travelling along this somewhat deserted road near where i live and i looked into the rear view vision mirror to see headlights following quite close. I put my foot down a bit and it stuck with me. I got to a set of lights and when they went green i put my foot down, well this thing stuck with me all the way to 100 km/h and i have then backed off thinking "that is one quick car, i cant lose it." Got about 1 km up the road to the next lights where it is in a built up area and properly illuminated and the car pulls up beside me with a grinning driver in it. The car was a mirror image of my own C63. i just knew it was a fast car. LOL.

LOL Funny story!! How can you not recognize the headlights of our cars? I know when another C63 or regular C is following/around me.

Well it must be a nice experience.

As I was reading your post, I was waiting for you to say it was a cop car pulling next to you with its flashing lights ready to book you for speeding

It use to always worry me when I travel home in the dark on country roads and out of nowhere a car follows you. Should I speed away or let the car overtake me 99 out of a 100 cases it is just another car.

Had a funny moment today. I was dropping off my gf's mom after she stayed with us and some guy was checking out the car as I pulled up. I could see him still looking in my rear view and he just about ran into a street pole.
