How come you are in the RRS Raj?

Chopped the E53 in for it.........not!

It is a courtesy car and a nice one too.

A friendly trucker decided that 2 lanes was too much for the law of attraction between his cab and my X. Came across 2 lanes and nearly spun us into the barrier. I saw what was about to happen and be would have just come straight into the whole side of us but I accelerated to try and get out the way but that meant he only caught the back (hence nearly spinning us). Just managed to keep it straight.

Cheers. Kids were really shaken. My 4 year old daughter didn't want to get in a car for a few days.

I think my justification of modding is worthwhile was proven as the coilovers helped to keep the stability. I think I can justify a supercharged kit now as that would most definitely of helped accelerate out the way.

As for modding the RRS....hmmm now there's a thought...lol

Sorry to hear that. Hope she is ok now.

Glad you are safe.

You can change the pulleys etc on the supercharged ones for more power, my friend has done his

Sorry to learn about this. One of the reasons for my front and rear safety cameras. Have a spare (new) BlackVue HD which I can bring along to the April meet?!?

Shameless advertising....,,

She is much better as it's been 2 weeks now. Still says she hates trucks when we hit the motorway but then so do I to be fair...lol

Cheers.

As for the pulleys, If it were mine, I'd consider it, but can you imagine constantly hitting single figure mpg's...lol

Luckily full admission from the trucker.

But was looking at them the other day as first thoughts in the accident were of having it recorded just in case he had tried to blame me.

Not a problem to him!

I've mentioned him before, the young chap with a 1450bhp GTR, new C63 AMG and Bentley Arnage T he is used to it

Even his shopping trolley golf is remapped and has a BBK on it!
