I drove my Citroen Dyane Six full tilt the length of the M5 and only thing that overtook* was a pale green Ferrari 365 GTB, registration 365 GTB.

*Well, until those big hills near Bristol.

Mine was actually the 1-litre, flat-four, 32bhp Ami 6 'Break'*. Went like a rocket. Albeit a slow one.

*The name 'Break' was the French corruption of 'shooting brake'. (The French are very good at corrupting things.)

p.s. I've had some big engines, too. A 7.64-litre Buick Limited. Kept it for 5 years. A great car. 2-door, white vinyl roof (with a bullet hole - a .223 - going from inside to out. Oops.)
