In Reply to: SF Bay Area M5 driver sought re: GG bridge "race" posted by Peter on January 21, 2001 at 01:58:38:


Hello all,

I had an impromptu "race" with a M5 on the San Francisco approach to the Golden Gate bridge earlier today. I'm posting on off chance that the owner or someone who knows him might read this. I was in a V8 Volvo 940 wagon and was impressed with how well the M5 went. I'm assuming it wasn't stock and would be interested to know what mods had been done to it.

The car was black or dark blue with fairly good sized wheels and tires on it - I'm not real familiar with BMWs but they looked bigger than stock. We were approaching the GG bridge from the San Francisco side on Doyle Drive and both he and I got on it. I was a good way back from him and I doubt he knew I was there when he first put his foot down. I'm assuming he knew it after a little bit as I was the only car remaining in his mirror. I pulled up to him but it took a while and it may very well be because he backed off.

If anybody knows who I might have "met" (tough given the scanty amount of info I've posted, I know), would you let me know?

Thanks,

Peter
