I was coming home tonight at about 9PM. I was on our highway #407, which is a toll road, with a speed limit of 100 KM (60 MPH). Except, the limit is rarely enforced, and most people (Including mothers in their mini-vans) run 130-140 KM (about 80-90mph). It was absolutely pissing rain, very heavily, and I was traveling at about 110 (65mph) when this silver thing flashed by me with a mile high roostertail, as if I was standing still. Well, what's a self respecting Terminator owner supposed to do. At 220 km (about 135mph), I backed off, because it was just too wet, and my new Khumos don't inspire confidence in the rain. The silver thing was still way ahead of me, but got bogged down in traffic. I caught him, and it turned out to be a brand new V-12 Bentley Continental GT. What a gorgeous car!. Here in Canada, it costs about $250,000 CDN.
Anyway, we both picked up speed (I wasn't racing, exactly), and we were side by side at 130 MPH. As it happens, we both got off at the same exit, and had to stop for the light. The driver waved and tipped his head to me, but when the light changed he was gone. And my tires just sat there and spun!
As much as I love my Cobra, I'd trade for a Bentley without a second's hesitation!
