1997 C36 AMG vs 330i BMW
Anyways, I follow Mr. 330i for about 6 miles all the while trying to find a way around. This was a 4-lane restricted access highway and finally, it opens up with the two of us in front of traffic and a 2 mile straight ahead with nobody in sight. The driver of the 330i was still in the fast lane and I started to pass on the right (I hate that) but then he moved over. By now we were going about 80. I sped up a little and as I drew almost even to him, I heard him kick it. Not wanting to dissappoint him, I dropped the hammer on the old AMG

In the span of a few second, I passed him, and hit about 120 before I saw the cop sitting in the median. Oops. I pulled over to the right lane and just gave my signal at the first exit. The officer pulled us both over and asked if we were racing. I calmly explained to the officer that it was not a race as the OH driver had been blocking me for miles and besides, look at what he is driving that 330i would be no contest for the AMG. I told him that when I went to pass, he had kicked it and all I did was complete the pass in a clean, quick and safe a manner as possible, when I then saw him in the median. Being appreciative of good creative excuse stories, and after interviewing the other driver, he awarded both of us speeding tickets 99 in a 70 zone and told me to stop picking on slower cars in the future. At the court date the judge lowered the fine to $45 without points. Unfortunately the Beemer driver was not there. I was hoping to rub it in a little, lol. The officer and I agreed that it was not a race.

I did race the C36 vs a nicely set up M3 two years ago but it was an auto-x. I won by 2 tenths which is an eternity in that game. However, there are M3's and there are M3's. The new V8 is a sweet piece of kit. Have not raced one but would be fun to try. Be at Bluegrass Motorsports Park May 29th. That is the new road course here. Will giver her a go then, OK? Bring $$$

That's a hell of a drive...

Does it sound like a moving target to me or am I just reading the last post wrong?
Driver 1: Hey your AMG beat that BMW 330i, so you wanna run my M3?
Driver 2: Gee, I'd be happy to run your M3 bring it on. Oh bring $$$
Driver 1: Oh, OK in that case I'll bring my C55 AMG (since is is faster than the M3) just in case your serious.
Sorta makes the point without anything else being said.

Just for the record, smoking beemers is more fun that other AMG's. Merry Christmas.

RIF= Reading is Fundamental so you r reading it as you choose.
First comment was pointed towards Jonbigmouth C36.
You decided ,that you'd like to run my E36 M3 while my retort was that I'd run YOU, with my C55.
Get it right without twisting the story and trying to put words in my mouth!
PLEASE!So I have a C55 with your name on it. Heh heh!
Don't be scared!

Anyway!
We've got plenty more tracks up here. Lets go to one that we are both not familiar with and then you could talk Newbie!

Guaranteed I'll run that *** down hard in the straightways and turns.

If you wanna race a car I own especially made for these kinda runs as well to munch and spit you out,let me know because I OWN one. Perfect for the track.And I'll give you a 5 lap head start! Need I go on

What grade am I in? how old am I? ROTFLOL. I am afraid to say that I graduated a long time ago, two college degrees including a post graduate. Engineering (not too many retards in that field, lol). I am old enough to have been racing (on the tracks mind you) since 1976. You do the math. I guess I could qualify for old fart status

I'm not sure where "up here" is?, but the Bluegrass track is new and not open until next spring so nobody is familiar with it including me. Spring will be my first run on it. I did walk the route prior to it being paved this fall so if that is an unfair advantage, so be it.
Quote: "You wanna race..." I never started this thread looking for a race. I'm not opposed to a friendly competition on a track, but that was not my premise for the original post, lol (I will admit that I have a weakness for Beemers espeicially M3's so I guess I took the bait on that one). You clearly own more cool fast and faster cars than I do. M3, C55, and the mystery car that munchs us up and spits us out. Let's see, if I bring my turbo race car I guess your gonna show up with a f-ing indy-car, huh? Well do what you like. I'm done with this thread, as it has turned into a rude, pi$$ing contest to see whose is the biggest, fastest, squirts the furthest, etc. Do you actually race santioned events or just mouth on about it? If so, maybe we will meet on the track sometime, otherwise, I think I'll pass. Have a nice life mate.

P.S. Communication is such a freaking challenge in these internet forums as it is so easy to sound rude when we mean to be sarcastic or funny, etc. I do it and have had friends do it. One great friend, super guy sounds about as rude as they get when on the forums. Would never recognise him in person. My comment about the head start was not meant to be a 5 lap head start, lol. It was meant to be a marginal one, in a 5 lap race. Re-reading it I can see how it could be taken out of context. It happens.
). Enjoy.Wisemans's Quote of the day: "Never pick a fight with an old man. He might be too weak or tired or scared to fight you, so he'll just kill you instead."

Did'nt mean to be disrespectful. You just came off to me as being quite pompous in your response that was directed to me. Sorry about the miscommunication.Cheers!
