I might have missed the subtlety here...but isn't the general idea that you only overtake that 'merely adequately fast' POS once....

.....360 GLTs aren't *that* quick, but neither do they have a GTI, SRI, etc style badge.

Well the speeds involved meant that it wouldnt've been a great idea to continue doing that constantly.. where I slowed down the "POS" then overtook again, but I thought.. can't be having that.
360GLTs aren't hugely fast no.. but they're quicker than they look to most people, which is the big factor. But then again is any 2 litre NA medium sized car ever going to be *that* quick?

If you can put up with driving the thing above the average car's redline the whole time. It's ironic that today turbo = wide, smooth power, and NA means peaky, narrow powerband!!

It might be that he created and deleted some members for testing early on and deleted them later or that something in the database screwwed up when Aymat last upgraded phpBB to 2.0.10, but you definitely aren't actually member 100, even if you were the hundredth to register
