Grey Noble - Reg V* GTO. You are the weakest link
Discussion
Congratulations on a thoroughly mindless and idiotic piece of driving on your journey back from Le Mans.
I was in the outside lane of the M25 clockwise at around 2:30-3pm on Monday afternoon when you saw fit to come tearing across 3 lanes of heavy traffic to cut me up, and then instantly slam on your brakes (causing me to do likewise to avoid a collision) because you had misjudged the gap and your speed.
I then had the priviledge of watching you proceed to weave in and out of traffic between lanes 1 and 3 at speed, undertaking and overtaking as you pleased, cutting people up on a busy stretch of motorway.
The best part about all of this was that you were wearing your LM2006 Pistonheads sticker loud and proud on the side of your car.
Congratulations dumbass - Great advert for the community!

nope, that one's black.
Would this, I wonder, be the same one at Houx round about.
He seemed bent on killing someone in his determination to
illustrate why driving a car without ABS is very dangerous in in
unskilled hands. Not at all impressive with so many people and cars
close by.

get off your high horses unless you've never broken any road traffic law ever :P
get off your high horses unless you've never broken any road traffic law ever :PI may have fractured the occasional traffic law; but I draw the line at this particular brand of self-destructive driving which endangers the safety of both me and any other road user...
My passenger has a rather good quality (digi camcorder) video of the whole affair, minus my accident avoidance (because you don't expect this kind of thing) - I am more than happy to post this, just to illustrate that I am not exaggerating how completely out-of-order this piece of driving was.
I saw him too - but on the M20 up from Dover at around 2 - 2:30pm. Only it was a "them" when they passed me. Think there were 2 Nobles and a Type 49 S2 Elise, all cutting people up (me), undertaking, and running up to the rear bumpers of the cars ahead at speed.

I'll join the club too.. Don't know if it was the same one but, saw a few Nobles and a Beamer in convoy going down to Mulsanne. One of them behaved himself and just waited until the 'convoy' got to Mulsanne. One overtook carefully and on a clear straight bit of road. The other 2 and the beamer seemed to be of the opinion that they were indestructable or on their own personal track. Thank god nothing was coming the other way from around the blind corner which they overtook me on. I would not have enjoyed attempting to fish bits of people out of broken fibreglass.
I agree. Someone obviously is the weakest link.

I'm not usually anal about these things, but there are limits as to what's acceptable.
I've been known to undertake every now and then when the guy/gal in front is too busy to check their mirrors and move over when possible, but for someone to post so vehemently about this sounds like it was out of order.
I reckon you should post the footage.

Talking of Nobles, who's was the blue one with the jet fighter style sticker theme. Was sat next to you off the ferry in Portsmouth in a silver S2000 admiring them but couldn't get your attention to complement you. Lovely touches like the "in case of emergency, lift here" pointing to the doorhandle

Nathan, this bloke was f***ing dangerous not just speeding. Dave, post the footage, the driver might see what an idiot he was being, you might just save his and others lifes.

Perhaps you should've gone faster so they didn't feel the need to overtake you

Hmm... I was doing 100kmh in a 80kmh area so I was already speeding. Hardly relevant though as overtaking on a blind bend is not wise not matter how fast or slow other traffic is moving.

The law is black and white, you are either breaking it or not.
I'm sure some OAP has seen you breaking the speed limit and declared you are dangerous? He obviously didn't think he was being dangerous, but then I'm sure you don't think you are either...
I'm not standing up for him btw, just pointing out that your perception of him could well be no different to someone elses perception of you as you've already admitted to breaking the road traffic laws.
