Must admit the muppets doing 50 in a 60 with the 'I'll slow you down' attitude that then cruise straight into town doing 50 in a 30 really do my nut in. How can it be ok to speed IN TOWN and not be ok to get upto full speed outside it?

I know we are all saying pass them on the open roads but how many times have you had a chuff doing 45 then booting at every available straight bit and doubling their efforts if the road is clear? C@NTS

Ok, glad I got that off my chest! I get a lot of hassle from gimps in Audis. Granted the RS6 the other day showed me what for but most of the time it's laughable!

The best one recently is the fat fanta pants in a sh!tty rover that thought he had to stop me and save everyone because I passed a slow moving car about a half mile behind him! After calling me everything under the sun I calmly replied 'You're going to give yourself a heart attack, better watch that mate'. I actually thought for a second I had pushed him to it! Bloke went purple and started making a weird noise. I Drove off at the change of lights laughing all the way.....

What was the £6.00 per hour comment all about? For all you know he has a Ferrari as a second car or he drives around in his Ford Maverick happy in the knowledge he has no mortgage.

Remember the old saying............Money talks, wealth whispers.

iv recently had quite a few comments of "nice car" when iv been sitting at lights by people walking past or crossing the road. granted they have all been young kids circa 12-14 years old, lol. still its good to see that they are growing up still appreciating an old subaru impreza classic turbo (she is mint though) does put a smile on my face though. on the other hand iv not really had any issues at all with people trying it on or wanting to race, must be the standard look and mica red, doesnt get the wrong sort of attention as say a rally stickered up job with big gold wheels would get, who knows. wish somebody would so i could try out my new mods and andy f remap!!!!! 305bhp 311lb.

I was on a dual carriageway following Mr Plod, we were both doing 64mph, out I went to over take went to 74mph !! Up he sped drawing level waving franticly for me to slow down. We both slowed to a fraction under 70mph where we maintained that speed side by side until I thought "this isnt worth it" and slowed down.

I have to say the £6 an hour comment wasnt necessary was it, I'm a bus driver in London and it really gets me when someone says that so I normally keep a payslip with me to show I earn double that an hour which normally shut the ***** up, the worst culprits for this are black cab drivers who have the habit of waving a crumpled tenner at you, I had one once who did this to which I replied " but who's banging your wife while your working 18 hours a day for your tenner"!!!

There was no need to follow him either especially as he works near where you do because if it was me I'd now be worried about him bringing his 15 ton bus into my car park and accidently bumping my car, he's got nothing to lose has he, he doesnt own the bus does he!!.

Totally pointless from start to finish but this is what subaru ownership has come to, too many ***** who think that just because they own a subaru they then own the bloody road and can drive and wind other drivers up and then the considerate drivers have to then also suffer the consequencies.

At the end of the day just coz i own a subaru and dont max it everywhere i go doesnt give someone the right to call me a poser,
He had many chances to overtake me but chose to sit on my bumper all the way, And as of the £6 an hour remark im glad i said it now coz ive found out he's not even a driver he's just the cleaner.

Calling somebody a poser isn't really the worst of abuse though is it? Lol.

Just laugh it off dude- stinks of jealousy to me (and I know cos I say that about every supercar driver I see.....out of pure jealousy!! Haha)

Don't agree with putting somebody down due to their wage bracket or job though, not saying it's the case here but some of the hardest workers I have known don't earn as much as they deserve.
