I can assure you it 's not just GTI's. I was joining the motorway near me yeaterday in my Mapped GT 2.0 TDI. There were 2 slip lanes leading onto the motorway and I was in the inside one. To the right of me was a van that was struggling to get up enough speed (god knows why he was in the outside of the 2 lanes) and behind him some chavs in a brand new Audi TT. You could just about get a fag paper between the TT and the Van, and the TT kept flashing his lights at the van.
Anyway, I accelerated, leaving the van and chavs behind and joined the motorway. This must have incensed the driver chav, who then violently yanked the car to the left lane (which was my lane) over the hatched lines, cutting another car up in the process, then speeding after me. When they caught up, the driver was actually leaning out of the window, screaming "come on then, you f**cking b**tard, if you think your fast" and kept accelerating up the inside of me, then braking to come back level and so on !
Perhaps he should have kept an eye in his rear view mirror instead, as I had seen the cop car joing from back at the entry slip road (which is why I didn't take up Mr. Chav's very kind invitiation for a race). I tell you, you have never seen the face on such a smug g1t drop so quickly when the blue lights came on behind him. I left him signalling to pull onto the hard shoulder with a traffic car behind him (result).
Thing is though, I have absolutley no idea what set him off. I wans't the one blocking him off ? Although he was coming from Liverpool so maybe he had "borrowed" the car (apologies to all from Liverpool for the gross stereotype).
