Default Ch*v magnet or just unlucky?

My blue WRX appears to attract cars like a huge magnet. Last June on the way to Goodwood a corsa drove off the pavement and into my rear door and wing as I passed (£1800 but not on my insurance).
Last bank holiday monday I am waiting to turn right into Blakeney (north norfolk coast) when a saxo (with lexus rear lights..) attempts to ana**y penetrate the WRX doing £1500 of damage and nearly waking our baby up!
I drive defensively (as I ride a bike) and have not had an accident in any of my quick cars for many many years....

Am I just unluck or does my car contain a hidden ch*v magnet?

My engineer recommends I reverse polarity and electrify the hull, but he's scottish so what does he know ;-)

Just a chav magnt as it seems.

My last car was (Escort CAb) was an old lady magnet (in the sense they seemed to aim for it, not the sense of attracting them, gosh no )

Cool

Chav magnet . . .

Me thinks not . . .Most chavs , know not to try it on, because they fully realise they will be fully annihilated, and pissed on from the height of Pluto . .

IT is however, IMHO an idiot magnet! . .Yes . .These are the ones that are most dangerous! The idiots that do do not realise their own folly . .. .And there are plenty of those .....

Hope this is of help . .

I think the subaru rear end syndrome is down to some of the younger ***** wanting to see how quick a performance car moves.


They harass your *** into trying to provoke a heavy right foot however when that right foot applies the brakes they realise mum isnt going to be happy now they've written her trolley off.

I get this all the time, some young chaps in there Nova or Citroen AX come racing behind me, all I do is drive slow which annoys them even more. I even rememeber the cars now and when ever I see them about I return the favour by sitting 2 inches from there bumper to see how they like it.

By which that would seem to indicate your scooby is a boat, either way an electric chassis wont help much unless the chav is on a bike. In which case he will have drowned by the time he catches you up out at sea or if it is a car I would recommend a much higher voltage, say 30-50 thousand volts

That's unlucky for you gus, I'm fortunate to be ugly enough that most cars stay outside 100m radius for fear of there windscreens/mirrors smashing.

Defo chav-magnet!! Scoobies do tend attract racing action from other chavs in subaru's, nova's - that kind of thing.

Going to Goodwood last year in my mates 280bhp WRX we got followed on some a-roads by a Fiesta zetec sport and it seemed to keep up surprisingly well! Was on a-roads, not duel carriageway or anything, but still surprising.
