I blew away a Rolls Royce Phantom the other week.

£250k+

I don't know if he was trying; I know I was!!!!

:oops: :twisted: :lol:

It's just a hill. Get over it.

    I dont tend to go for the traffic light grandprix but Ive certainly overtaken a few rollers and countless "executive" cars under normal road conditions. Its always particularly nice to pass a convertible with the top down :D I tend to think "Im going faster than you, Im getting more breeze than you and Im paying diddly squat for the privilege :D" I think its just the convertible thing, its all about feeling the wind feeling closer to the elements etc and of course a bike just does it better.

    I pass quite a few expensive cars in this video:

    Around 4:30 onwards, I think.

    I was eye-ball to eyeball with a loyus something or other once while on my M5 20-20. I think I left him standing 'cause he was just surprised to be eyeball to eye-ball with a cyclist.

    Not an expensive car but probably got better acceleration than a Roller

    Bendy bus, those things must cost a fair whack.

    Cost is one thing, but speed is something else :0)

    Done a ferrari or two, and and Audi R8, but he wasn't trying, and I was busy drooling to embarrass him too much :0)

    Big Sports Motorbike with pillion - 30 mph on the flat - pillion looked over in surprise to see a cyclist there.

    A group of us once gave a big motorbike a good run for his money coming off Axe Edge...

    I know motorbikes aren't expensive, but faster than nearly all cars.

    Not commuting but overtook around a motorbike at about 70kph the other day down a steep hill. The look he gave me afterwards (on the flat) was very funny!

    Not so much expensive, but I blew away a 911 Turbo somewhere in a bumpy roadworked part of Knightsbridge. :D

    OK, to all the Ferrari posters, cop this lot:
    F599
    F612 Scaglietti
    F355

    Not done an F430 yet.
    A couple of Maseratis. Many Porsches.
    Done all of the current Astons. James Bond eat your heart out.

    It's just a hill. Get over it.
