    Ok, I had my birthday a while back, my son Maximilian (8 years) thought it would be nice to go with me and see FF5.
    So we did last night, took off a bit late, had to take the back roads due to traffic and was a bit stressed the last bit, going into the "zone" for the last mile or so...
    One of the highlights was comming out of a roundabout, road going in a long lefthander, I had a BMW X5M in front of me who wouldn´t move over, went to the outside and floored it, smoking both rears I passed him sideways, he´ll have nightmares about that one for a long time!
    On the way home we were just cruising 20 mph above the limit when a Nissan GTR came up behind, I moved over and when he was next to me I nailed it, as I floored it first he steadily lost ground for the very short stretch of clear road we had.
    Eventually we got past the next city and traffic cleared, got a few runs, at about 70 mph it will hit third and about 4.000 rpms and I lost a few yards everytime but when I got past 5.000 I was catching up, going past 5.500 in fourth I was passing, had a few decent runs and then pulled over on the next exit for a few words.
    The guy came out of the car and couldn´t belive he had been smoked by a stationwagon, "-What the hell do you have in that car???"
    Hahaha, great laugh, great driving and as everytime I now again have a new crush on my car!
    Oh, btw, I went past my parents house the other day and a friend of their was there visiting, he had his new BMW M3 with him and as I told him I would like to have a look at it at a convenient time he gave me the key saying he knew I could drive, I never even met the guy before!
    He told me to put it in "M" mode to turn it into a monster, so I did, but no monster showed up...
    Yesterday I called him and he got to drive the Maggie, he came back with a slightly pale look on his face saying that this isn´t a monster, its a BEAST! lol
    The BMW has a chassie the Maggie could never compete with, but its a different car altogether, but the BMW could never compete with the Maggie on the highway...

    Fredrik:)

    Ps. The film won´t get an oscar, but it was really nice to see all the Chargers beeing used in the film, especially the new ones!

    Razorsedge strutbrace, Quaife in the back and a Vortech kit with Johans tune to help it breathe better...
    Thats about it basically, still on OEM pads, I have better ones lying in the car for when they wear out, and that would bee sooooooon...
    The new tune from Johan made a BIG difference!

    Fredrik:D

    lol I don't scare easily and since I have watched you drive first hand, you will likely have to drive blind folded to scare me. hehe

    We have not tried the punch yet. Been waiting for the right time. Tonight might have to be that time. haha

    And yea, we are still planning on crossing the pond next year. :)
