I've been doubting the point in keeping my LCR recently, as all I seem to do is potter along in traffic to and from work or the city centre these days, so having a car like the LCR seems a bit overkill. I could just as easily - and quickly - do the same in a TDi Lupo or something!
But then today, in a few moments of madness, everything suddenly seemed worthwhile. I always wanted a Focus ST, it was the car of choice before buying the LCR but the price, as they were still new at the time, put me off. I ended up with the LCR and have never regretted it.
Well today, I'm pottering along the motorway and Mr.ST pulls out in front of me and glues himself to the arse of the car infront. Cue a bit of headlight flashing, undertaking and manic driving on his part and he is a good distance ahead of me as we both take the same exit off the motorway.
Well who should I pull up behind at the traffic lights just off the motorway... Mr.ST, gleaming in his Imperial Blue smugness. Lights turn green, we both head on to the same dual carriageway, and I think, Meh, what the heck.... foot down, speed picks up and it suddenly all becomes clear why I bought the LCR and why I love it so much. Mr.ST was not happy that this bright yellow thing was now stuck to him and he couldn't shake it. I even had to back off a couple of times.
We came to a roundabout, I pulled in behind some traffic and he went on to try and prove his **** was bigger than mine by cutting up some poor driver on the roundabout.
It's a little victory, and a juvenile one at that, but it made me remember why I love this car so much
Speed kills kids....
