Now I know I made the right choice

So since getting the 335D in December the first 3500 miles have seen me in stop start traffic with a lot of motorway miles thrown in and no real opportunity to have fun.

Indeed half the problem is that you tend to run out of road awfull quick and then just when you think the opportunity is going to present itself you find yourself in heavy traffic or poor weather.

But tonight it happened.

I found my self heading home a lot later than normal with dry conditions and an empty A151 between the A1 and Bourne which is loved by bikers (and undertakers) far and wide.

With hard bends, a good surface and good visability things were flowing like a dream with turn after turn of perfect lines until I looked down and realised that I was taking these turns some 40mph faster than ever before

Of course the big dip near the castle subjected my dinner to G forces way beyond what I was expecting but OMG what a machine.

Tonight alone has more than made up for 3500 of day to day traffic

I have found since 3000 miles the engine really has loosened up, I'm loving the car even more than when I got it.
