When I finish my masters and I don't owe daft amounts in tuition fees, I'm buying a sleeper.

Something quiet and understated. And when you press the throttle you surge forward in such a way to leave anything behind you.

Sleepers are nice but I like power and noise, lots of noise!

Sleepers are the ultimate in fun.

Driving the activa turbo one afternoon during the summer on the M4 heading west out past Enfield. It's not especially fast on the straight (chews up things in the corners though), but for an old citroen, it can surprise people.

Overtaking a lorry at a leisurely pace, about 100km/h and an felter golf estate tdi is catching up fast. I clear the lorry and the golf is right up my backside. Rather then wait and let me pull in to the inside lane, he goes to undertake.

So I drop to 3rd and wait until he draws level. And then floor it. It was quick enough :pac:

I get that!
I do like a good sleeper but it's different courses for different horses I guess.
Both are tremendous fun!

Was behind an "RS4" about half an hour ago. It had one of those Intel Pentium stickers on it saying "90 BHP inside". Why oh why would you be proud enough to shout about your whole 90 bhp in a car as heavy as that!?
