It's amazing that people even bother buying these expensive, brand new and often beautiful cars - if your car can't beat a £20 grand 1 series over 300 yards, then you just a rich fool son!
Actually have you guys heard about the legendary DXB? He used to come here a lot. I don't think anyone has ever met him though - his car used to beat Ferraris and Lambos at Santa pod (proven with videos) and I have to admit that I've often wondered if it was even a 335d at all. I think it might have had an engine transplant it something. It was TOO quick!

I thought you had met him Matt. I met him a few times at UK meets when he still had the DXB. It was in fact a 335D - SE model but it had been well re-mapped. He used to be quite a good go-kart driver when he was younger and I suspect that he was really good at getting a car off the line and keeping it in the sweet spot.
Some of his documented times were really impressive though he did annoy people a bit with his fascination with quarter mile times and terminal speeds, after all it doesn't bear much relevance to real life driving.
He was a good story teller in the bar at night after the day's run.
Sigh... E90Post in it's hey day
