First of all, I wasn't having a ago at you, If ANYONE touches my car, depending on what they have done the punishment would be servere.
I wouldn't care how big they were, I'd run the bugger down if I was pee'd off enough.

Fair enough Mulder, just detected a little hostility thats all.....I can whole heartedly agree with the bit about running someone down if they touch your car (or boot it). But then again the last thing I'd do is give some bloke grief over nothing. Too many nutters out there. Remember what provoked my reaction. I accepted the fact he pulled out and blocked me, and I even smiled at him expecting him to smile back and reverse up. I was however, fully prepared to go at it with him, which is why I got out of my car.

No, I'm normally fairly calm, I just have a thing about people messing with my cars. I wouldn't give someone grief for example if they were just looking at the car and commenting, but if I caught someone touching it I'd get seriously annoyed. I mean, it's MY property, they have no right to touch it.
Ahhh, much better.

so banshi you just ... ahem ... happened to have a 2ft extension bar with you in the car?
Weeell it's like this officer: my wife usually drives the car and if she has a puncture is unable to use the standard wheel brace..............
Oh, the hammer stale with the leather loop on the end? We were camping at the weekend & as it had slipped beneath the seat I must have missed that when we unpacked
Neither big, tough or fast enough to play rugby regularly so one has to improvise

I remember this one well. An old escort pulled out in front of me as I was coming round a round-a-bout heading onto a duel caridge way. Anyway, I swerved round him giving it large on the horn. He peeps back and flashes his lights. At the next roundabout (4 miles later, so he musta been kicking the ****e out of this ol 1.3)he rolls down his window and starts mouthing off. I tell him he's an effin w4nker and he decides to come hairing after me.
I stopped the car and got out (I,m 6,2, part time pshcho when it suits me , the w4nkshaft gets out, and tries pathetically to swing a punch at me, I kick him v.heavily on the side of the knee and his leg crumples (6lb pressure will usualkly break a kneecap)and he falls to the ground screaming (all this with the traffic tootling buy). His mate by this time decides he needs help, so he gets out the car, makes as if hes gonna boot in the back of the Scoob, I threaten him with extreme violence, he backs off. Anyway, the w4nkshaft is screaming his leg is broke (it wasnt)and do I know who he effin is, hes shouting Im Billy F**kwit from *insert name of village*. So anyway I get back in car and drive off, not knowing if hes gonna call cops. I reckoned not as he thought he was a hard case.
Later I phone m8, who amazingly happens to know 'of' him. I look up phone book, ahhaaaa. I phone sed w4nkshaft from phone, as he picks up phone I say, Is that u Billy W4ankshaft, he goes yeah, whos this? Next I bang loudly on side of phone box, while shouting in diff voice, lets kill the b4strd nowwww. I tell him I'll see him in 10 mins.
LOL.
I bet he was sweating like a pig for days, the stoopid plonka.
Jye

Granada ...
Well, the other day I was coming out of PC world in Coventry. There is a roundabout as you come of PC world. I wanted to turn left, so I slowed down and looked to the right.
A C-reg granada was coming along, looking as though he was going to go into PC world, i.e. actually entering the entrance.
BUT... at the last minute he decided he wasn't going to go into the store! He swung away from the exit and headed straight toward me. I slammed my brakes and just missed him.
He went past and I followed him onto this *BIG* roundabout at the A45 where I took great pleasure in flashing lights, beeping horn, and finally overtaking him and, erm, cutting in a bit on the a**hole.
I swear that he did that deliberately

Tim W,
LOL
Prop!! Sounds familiar. Did most of my playing when I was in South Wales. The biggest problem was game at the weekend, injuries in the week. It became bothersome at work so I packed in. Kept up to date with the social scene though and my bro still plays (winger). Apart from being slimmer than me, better looking than me, faster than me and cleverer than me (dental technician), he's crap
The size definately helps though. Mind you, have you noticed how big they are breeding the youngsters now ? 17yrs old and man mountains......geez I feel old.

Hmmm, road rage. Last happened to me last weekend, a BMW 325i (don't want to re-start the BMW drivers are to55ers thread) pulled out in front of me at a roundabout.
At which, i mouthed wa*ker. No hand gestures, no horn. He obviously sees this, as we begin to slow down, then finally stop. Busy road.
The driver unclips his seatbelt. "Fantastic" i think to myself. Thought all my Christmases had come at once, since at 6'3" and 17 stone for the right reasons, this would save me a workout, and delete a Beemer driver at the same time.
It was only the common sense of my wife who pointed out that a GBH conviction would probably cost me my job, and that as has been said there could have been a knife hidden somewhere, that prevented me getting out. But when some ar"ehole is slapping your car, calling you this, that and the other, and you know you can shut him up, that's mighty difficult to.
But she was right. It isn't worth it. There's a whole underworld of criminality out there which few of us know about, where an address from a number plate can be bought for about £200. And from there it can all go horribly wrong.
Next time, just don't do it guys.

I had one last night, going to work in the company van, reaches a mini roundabout where i have to give way to the right but nothing there, a 4x4 freelander coming from across, cant get past because of parked cars on his side of the road and my side narrows just before the roundabout, so im still on MY side of the road and he comes across the roundabout and gives me the dirtiest of looks, what a to55er....
And im not even going to start about merc drivers!!! she nearly bleeding killed me!!!!

Doesn't matter how hard you are (or you think you are) you won't win against a knife. Or any of the other myriad of weapons that are found in cars. Fancy your beer gut against a Samurai sword? I don't. Kenneth Noye was over 50, yet he still killed a fit young man in his twenties with one stab wound.
Hard though it is, it isn't worth risking your health (or anything else) over a traffic violation. If they annoy you, the best retaliation is to overtake them at the next opportunity, which, let's face it, is not difficult in a Scooby and leave them to it.

Gary,
Nah, he's a *****. Come down to Sarfend, where they frisk you for knives on the way in to nightclubs.
If you haven't got one, they give you a selection to choose from...

Tel...they do that round here too...that reminds me where's that Wilson boy
Blubs...I stopped playing, 'twas only schoolboy stuff, soon after I hurt myself and decided the pain wasn't worht it, I'd rather watch...turns out it was a wise decision...when I 'hurt' myself I didn't realise that I had infact shattered three vertebrae, one in my neck, two in the middle of my back Although I lived with this for 8 years, went to an osteopath after getting the scoob, and they pointed it out...now ish sorted, although I do get twinges...

Well let's face it Dave, a six-cell Maglite probably gives more illumination than the normal Scooby headlights
I've only ever had a few incidents of road rage (must be 'cos I'm such a nice guy ) and seeing some of the accounts here, I'm not getting involved in future. They don't seem to have this problem in the States (probably because everyone has guns and the chances are you would end up a lot worse off)
I think Scoobies, like all high profile cars, attract more than their fair share of attention which makes things worse. All I can say is don't get involved it really isn't worth it.
