He lives in a block of flats in the same street as my elderly father, some 15 miles across town,
right now in peak hour Google Maps says it's a 40 minute trip through the traffic.
So yesterday we left work at the same time and he says, "Going to your Dad's, I give you a race"
I nodded and so it was ON through the traffic. Now I must say there are some rules of engagement.
Neither of us wants to lose our licence,
and neither of us wants to be killed for a lousy afternoon race. But when I went underneath him
going into a roundabout he knew he had a race on his hands.
So using all of my traffic knowledge of the area and all of the handling and agility of the F through the traffic I set about
attempting to beat this large motorcycle across town. Now the motor cycle has the advantage of lane filtering,
which is now legal down-under, so I gave myself little chance of winning.
The result - well I'm amazed to report - was a TIE!!!
After 14-1/2 miles the motor cyclist was sitting at a set of traffic lights and I pulled up beside him in the F,
and his eyes just about popped out of his helmet!!!!
These little cars truly are excellent, and pretty much unbeatable across town on a busy afternoon.
And ah- hem we did both beat the 40 minutes suggested by Google.
