I should perhaps qualify my original post, at least to some extent. It was a lighthearted expression to do with ageing, being bitter and twisted and generally revelling in my new car and I thought it would go down rather differently to the way it has; that is my fault, as I didn't make myself sufficiently clear. It was not meant to be taken at all seriously.
That said, please feel free to ban me if you see fit, admin; I take exception to transparent hypocrisy in any form, and anyone here who owns a Nissan 350Z or indeed any other high-performance car, and is without sin, is entitled to throw the first "don't drive like that" stone in my direction. It's your forum.
