wheel drive, pretty suped-up car. As I roll I have a chat with the guys in the bimmer.

decide to do a rolling test run. I touch the "settings" button, "drive" tab then flick it
from "sport" to "X". While rolling at let's say 35mph. As we keep driving, a passenger
gives a fingers countdown. 3-2-1-GO. I floor it, the bimmer driver floors it.

am at the speed limit and lift off. He catches up, we smile at each other. I exit the
main road and go on my way, feeling pretty smug, with a grin on my face. Maybe
they'll get themselves one. I hope they do.
