Jealous w*nkers
Discussion
Hi all, have any of you experienced the jealous idiots out there?
On Sat. afternoon after taking a friend out for a spin in my exige, we stood on the side of the road chatting about exiges in general when a van appeared at the junction opposite, as it pulled out a bloke aged around 25 hung out of the passengers window and shouted " I will be back later to have that with my screwdriver".
I was well shocked as I have never had that kind of comment before, usually people pay compliments to the car. The only thing I can put it down to is pure jealousy. Anybody else suffered the same?

First day I test drove my first Elise, I had a good number of very positive comments. Never had a negative one since (and precious few positive ones actually).
Most people probably don't even realise that it's jealousy. They might imagine that they're having ago at some elitist who deserves all they get for leeching off the working man.
They're wrong, of course, and all you can really do is to remind yourself that a decent fraction of the world is made up of tossers, and you're going to meet your fair share as you go on your way.

Last night some 
ing nicked my aerial, bent my wiper arm (scratching the service panel) and tried to pull off the hood bending the plate the 'ear' locates into. I tell you it's put me in a proper bad mood. I'm not some GJOB, this is my only car and I've worked bloody hard to get it. I don't pose in it I use it as it should be used. Just because some pikey Nova driving w*nker thinks I'm better than him the only way he can try to prove me wrong is by vandalising my belongings...unbelievable.
Just have to be grateful for small mercies I guess, at least they didn't key it, slash the roof, nick it whatever...no lasting damage.

you leave your girlfriend on the drive?? 
Wow - must try that sometime 
Sorry to hear about the damage - that does suck......you may be very surprised about the person doing it though...I remember seing a programme where they did CCTV trap loads of differnt 'car vandal hot' areas....and in the majority of cases it was local over 65's! We had 7 cars vanadlised outside our last house - mine, mates, g/f's etc. Finally caught them - it was an old couple from further down the road - both about 75..... amazing really
The local police weren't even slightly surprised

ok, after my midnight "blitz" of north-west roads (see aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh thread), i encountered the following:
1)young girl, about 11, give me the "v"'s right up against my passenger windscreen
2)"v"s from a scrote on a bike
3)incomprehensible abuse from a guy in a clio
4)abuse from people in other flats.."your cars shit mate", what and your burnt out fiesta is better?
5)shit from yoofs on a bus-stop.
and to each of em, i blew a kiss, revved my car, and sped of.
i love pissing people off.

yeah, your right
sometimes, im sure i could pin-point the exact point where the person goes into "rage-extreme" mode, and has probably burst a blood vessel.
its hilarious i love it.
in my short time on this earth i have learnt that...
....there is no comeback/defence to a person laughing at you. there is absolutely nothing you can do.
-see, im laughing at you

-see, im laughing at you They were finally caught by myself and a mate.....we set up a camera in the window and just happened to be fiddling with it at about 1:00am when we noticed someone on the drive....so sneaked downstiars and then ran out screaming blue murder (was highly good fun and the adrenaline was with me for days!). When we grabbed them, they obviusly tried to say they were just looking.....but there was the start of a new car scratch. Called the Police who said they'd deal with it....dunno end result but no more cars damaged.
The most amusing thing was when I said "I just cant believe this, why were they doing it?" the cop said "to be honest I havent a clue mate, but there are some bloody odd ones living round here...we had an old dear come to the station last week and complain the bush outside her house was growing too fast".....his reponse? "Im sorry to hear that madam...we'll get someone to trim your bush mimediately" !! And aaparently they did it with a straight face!
I was gutted they werent yoofs though....I had a hankering to seriously hurt some scum and couldnt bring myself to bat an old lady!
11 year old girl - I thought a group of young girls gave me the V's the other day...but wasnt sure...maybe it is the new thing to do? Sod em, thats what I say!

gem.
I'm always a bit nervous about giving abuse to somebody who cuts me up/tail-gates/calls me a t*sser/tries to race me as I re-call recently that a load of Pikey's in a white van almost ran in the back of me, accelerating and braking last minute, oh and mock swerving to try to avoid running in the back of me! Anyway, gave 'em the 'thanks sign' out of the window and sped off. Trouble is, a couple of miles down the road the traffic was stationary. Yep - they caught up with me, jumped out of the car and ran down the road towards me. Needless to say - I ran up the hard shoulder for several hundred yards and off at next junction. I lived to fight another day! Pikey T*ssers!
