Pity he didn't do it a few months ago with the LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO. That
would have been impressive.
BTW, what is it with these guys who like to burn out tyres? Bikers
especially. You spend huge amounts of cash on the very best rubber, then
waste it in a brief display of drive-it-like-you-hate-it macho
exhibitionism. Plus, when you really need the grip, the rubber's cooked and
the tread is shredded to nothing. Still, I spose it looks good. Tyres are
something I never skimp on, but I try to preserve them as far as possible -
I know how many weeks' wages they cost. This stuff goes against the grain.
