Comming out of work tonight, pulled onto the main road and got behind a car i hadn't seen before. Anyway a girl was driving it and we both led onto the bypass up an incline.
Anyway me in the 106gti went to go in the 2nd lane to go past her was in 2nd gear so enough to get past (i thought) anyway this girl puts her foot down and i couldnt get past i was like wtf  anyway just looked up the car what it was and it's a Smart ForFour Brabus 1.5 turbo 177bhp quick little cars they are!!

A powerful 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo engine delivers 177bhp. With a 137mph top speed and a 0-60mph time of 6.9 seconds, Smart says the car is faster than a MINI Cooper S.
 not seen one these about but I bet that's surprised a few.

Yeh those little Brabus Smarts are rockets A client has one of the little roadster ones which is remapped and full exhaust system. Absolute weapon - quicker than his remapped MK5 Golf GTi by quite a bit lol.
