Great run at stubbs road.....

Took the F06 out for some food and took the long way home Up Tai Hang Road->Jardine's Lookout->Stubbs Road ->Garden Road. at the Tai Hang Road - Stubbs Road round about, a new CLS started to tailgate me. I can definitely see the kid behind the wheel. I wasn't driving particular aggressively as I still have the Dunlop run flats on and not even 400km on the car.

But he just keeps on pushing me real close, so I muttered to myself, what the heck! Switched the car into sport mode and floored it, starting from Adventist hospital. I can tell the dude tried to keep up in the back, driving fairly aggressively. The F06 didn't fail me at any turn and I didn't even slow down at the turns. Pretty soon, the headlights from the CLS were at quite a distance.

And then, there was a taxi in front of me, that I had to slow down CLS kid caught up and pushed me again. So well... Dangerous manuever but I have confidence in my F06 I passed the taxi in front at a very short broken white line section (I think right after white jade) right before a right turn which followed by an immediate left bend. CLS tried to follow but I guess he finally chickened out. The CLS can't handle like the F06. I know because I test drove it.

And by the time I got to good old Police Museum Junction, the I can't see the lights from the CLS anymore

And during all these, on Dunlop SportMax DSST, DSC light has not come on once That's handling of the Gran Coupe
