Freind Of Mine Got Bit By The Boost Bug! - Flofocus - 07-11-2007
:D
My lead developper has a sweet 330I that he let me drive last time I was in Toronto (Steve, Kev, and Andrew were theyre at lunch when i was talking about it @ St Louis). I told him it was a REALLY sweet car and drove really nice and it had 'decent' accelaration :lol: He didnt like the last part because he thought his car was fast...Told him my focus would 'own' it...he didnt beleive me.
Anyways...he came down to Ottawa for a Golf tourny, when everybody was heading home I tossed him they keys and told him to bring the car out for a rip...we did...You guys should have seen the grin on his face when he hit 2nd gear, smoked the tires to red line then shifted to 3rd!! :D :D
"This is a Focus?"
"A turbo one...yes"
"Turbos make that MUCH of a difference? this thing would kill my car"
"Yep, it does and yep it will" :lol:
he just emailed me...traded in his 06 330I for a 07 335I Twin turbo. :o :o

Nice upgrade...but now he's gonna own you! Better remind him that he owes you a test drive in HIS car ;)

Yeah, he's not much of a car guy....just a real good developper with a lot of money. :lol:
When we got back to the golf course, he told his gf "Nate's got a fast Taurus, err focus" :lol:
