Why is it that the number of numpties seems to multiply by at least 100 when you are in a little car? Been doing the run to work in a 1.2 Corsa for the last couple of weeks. The number of barge drivers that try to intimidate you is ridiculous. I only even move into the second lane (big long dual carriageway) to overtake and then move back in. This, however is not good enough for Mr BMW, nooooo, he has a big car and I am in his way, he is also obviously more important due to the amount of underpowered shite he is wallowing about in.

I have seen the same one about 4 times now that I have never noticed in the grale. He drives stupidly close, doesn't even pay attention and even has an annoying face. Lets see what happens when he has the beast approaching him at 130 one morning

I also seem to see many more Max Power kids, some of the cars round my way are horrific. I'm sure Spooky can vouch for this (Currys car park one night Spooky ). The best one I have seen recently though has got to be the Volvo 340GL with TURBO down the side, huge sunstrips front and rear and special Viper style gaffer tape stripes, classy

Always said the next Idoit that tries to cur me up when I'm in my old reck (405 Estate)I'm going to ram him ( only by Accident of course ).
Well about a month ago i was driving to work and stopped at the lights. When i realised that the young tw-t in the next lane was positioning him self to not go right but straight on ( my lane only for straight on ).We both pulled off he tried to cut me up but unfortunatly my bumper was to near to his rear quater when he tried to pull over. ooops. He took responsability, and just kick my bumper straight.
Reveng at last. $300 405 beats 10K Merc .

I've always wanted to do that but sadly have never been in my girlfriend's car when the opportunity has arisen.

Very true.

Griff, courtesy and smiles.
Corsa (1.5 diesel ), Shouting, fists, intimidation, rudeness, arrogence, beligerance, tailgating (you reeeeealy can't out accelerate anything in a Corsa diesel!!) and just bad manners.

That's other drivers - not me!!

However in the time the Griff was off road I would have spent 60/70 quid on petrol.
The Corsa was on it's second fiver

yer right, moleamol. Some are okay, and remind me of when I had mi first Ford Escort 1.3L (which had a Harrier-style spoiler, spots etc.). Others can't seem to drive behind me without being a few inches away. On the one hand, I don't wanna gain points for burning off little scrotes, but if they DO try and overtake, I simply accelerate and don't let 'em past so they are either trapped in the wrong lane, or have to back off behind me again!

Hmmm.

Best plan would be to let them get on with it.

Find other ways to vent your frustration.

One of my pet hates this one.

See www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?f=23&h=&t=12559

Happened again on Sunday - driving through Worcester Park, Golf tries to force its way through at some lights, they go red. We both drive off (two lanes) on green, the car in front in his lane (outside) turns right.

Instead of waiting for my little Seicento (which is laongside hime), or even checking his mirrors at all, he just swerves across into my lane and forces me into an emergency stop. He stops too and I drive round him to continue, only to see him waving and hollering behind.

Tosser me thinks, I'll have a word. So I wave him alongside and ask him what the fcuk he thought he was doing. 'There is only one lane there, you were forcing your way through' and 'I live here, I know the roads'. Oh dear. There were two lanes, you just couldn't face getting 'stuck' behind a yellow Seicento with L plates.

Well tough - thats exactly where you ended up. Tosser.

The only problem with that is Spooky is talking about the 17 yr old Max Power boys, so the 3 kids that they have will all be far too young with the oldest being around 4

Whether it be their daughters or mothers, they tend to be class one scrubbers who live off the dole and gamble it away on the gee-gees. They drink Carlsberg Special Brew and beat their wives up and have a spider-web tattoo on their neck. I wouldn't sleep with anyone who can't spell 'urban troublemaking scum'.

Not edited to remain un-PC.

I have also noticed it more, but I now drive a Ford Courier diesel van, people tend to be more forgiving when a white van is slowing them down.

Not so when I am in the 'scort.

I get my own back when the R is on the road.

moleamol? My 'Lise has decided to drop the passenger window into the door. Again! It's still under warranty so I'm taking it to the dealers (Chris Neals) on Sunday.

Don't know if you were going to turn up at the Crown tomorrow (Saturday) but it looks like I'm gonna have to go in the Ka!

Spooky, I'm meant to get mine back tomorrow, if I do I will almost certainly call down for a while. If I don't I will probably come the next time you go. Just let me know on here or email me through my profile (where you can now see a pic of my baby )

Yeah, I've seen it. Nice one!

If it's weather like this, it'll be a bit bizz, and I'll be even more peed off coz I definately won't come in the 'Lise coz the bl00dy window's stuck down!
