As a frequent user of the M5 between the Midlands and SW, I am suprised by the number of Macans I pass, and the total absense of Macans passing me!

:roll:

They’ve all set their ‘must have’ speed limiters because they can’t control their speed for more five seconds! :lol:

Or they all bought the badge rather than the car … of course if you are doing 90mph then that might be the hint 🤔

They may be aware that some sections are notorious for officers in unmarked patrol cars having a truly productive shift pulling and fining all those lovely shiny motors and their oblivious drivers. 😵‍💫

Is a Porsche actually capable of cruising at 50?

Away from the race track I have rarely seen any Porsche being driven fast.

Like you, I'm sure that I have never been overtaken by a Porsche :? :?

We are all sensible drivers :D :D

Favourite unmarked cars on M5 are dark grey Skodas. What with that and the new "Smart" section, keeping to somewhere near the speed limit is the only safe option on the M5.
