Another incident today!
« on: 13 August 2004, 20:29 »
I was giving my mate Dan a lift to the bodyshop to pick his VR6 up and there's a mile stretch of straight road on the way. I drop to 3rd to overtake this huge 4x4 and just as she comes on boost and me blow past the driver swerves to pass a cyclist (no indication) but as if to stop me coming by! I end up running off the road and onto the golf course that runs either side of this road! I get on the horn and rejoin the road flashing and using the horn but the driver keeps on going. I then overtake them and pull them over to give them a peice of my mind. Out I jump "What the f**k are you playing at!". Out jumps her husand (who wasn't driving) and returns fire. luckily Dan then jumped out at which point the husband quitens down. Dan's like 6'6 ;D We basically told them they should f**king indicate when they want to overtake and look behind them more often.

Just pisses me off these oversized 4x4's that think they rule the roads with no concern for the people that drive sensiblely sized hatchbacks.  >:(

I feel for ya man, there proper nobs!  They have no clue were the mirrors are, they just do what the f**k they like!  And when they see the reg of your plate, they dont think that it matters if it gets any damage

I had one pull out on my old white mk1 on a roundabout, he defo saw me.  He just assumed I would slow down for his tank!  Now you know how hard it is to stop a mk1 from 60!  :o

Yep, you need at least a 6 mile straight ;D (ok slight exageration. . .)
