Last Sunday I was out and about around Leeds, the sun was shinning, it was a lovely day, till a big, noisy (ugly) Mitsubishi pulled up next to me at the lights....

NO ! It wasn't an FQ- F'Me- where'd that go !

It was a Mitsi Animal pick-up..... seemed he wanted a race, so I peered upwards to see his "missus" peering down at me, I shook my head in disbelief

So the lights change to amber and off he goes, so I short-shift into second and swiftly reach the limit, he's way behind. Next set of lights the same, he launches it, I sneak past like you do.

Finally reach a dual carriageway traffic clears and off we go, well for three seconds, then I deploy maximum attack up to 70 mph..... he's long gone, (as you'd expect ?).

At the M62 roundabout he goes straight down the outside lane and then "chops" across two lanes of traffic, (as you can in a tank !) just to get a car length infront of me.

Strange, it's usually "Schummi-in-a-people-carrier" types who give me grief.

So anyone else been "challenged" by an unlikely vehicle ?

dunx

 

A Fiat Punto 1.2 "Sporting", lol.

 

saxo 1.6 with a turbo decal on th boot

Middle aged loosers in Vauxhall Zafira's

 

All the time !

dunx

 

I have never understood why people think they are the quickest, they never bother me

Oops just realised it was a pickup

 

mmmm blue one? -- that'll be me

 

Ford Focus ST, overtook me just before a RA then crashed into a people carrier (with kids and mum onboard) at a roundabout. Wreckless driving, but I think he learnt a lesson. Cops were not impressed with him.

I dont race people period, just get out of their way

 

Could well of been!! Come to think of it, just about any middle aged bloke who's life aint turned out too great seems to want to race his heap of sh1te. Be it a Zafira, a Citroen Picasso etc etc they all seem to have a HUGE chip on theyre shoulders

 

vauxhall astra with no wheel trims

 

actually being serious my father gave me a great bit of advice, some 25 years ago when I learn't to drive

he just said "leave your ego on the pavement when you open the car door"

and as said above, If i see a young blade behind me giving it bags of vroom vroom i just pull over and let them past -- lifes to short and i'm usually listening to Radio 4 anyway

 

A Smart car. One of those sporty coupe ones mind you not the bog standard bubble, so it was very close...

 

I kid not, but I was impressed by the pace of a 106 rallye many moons ago.

We were going up a steep hill together and rather than seeing a little white speck disappearing, the plucky little bugger wasn't really falling that far behind.

Or feeling very high and mighty about keeping a red MR2 in my mirrors only to discover that as soon as we hit the dual carriageway it was an actually an NSX and I was treated to a sound *** handing.

 

Hey,

EddScott,is that LOMAC in your avatar?

Ben,

 

i had a race with a rs turbo escort on the m1 jc 39 he had a blonde bird with him thought he was ace untill i smoked him

 

well said
grow up

 

usually mundaneo drivers surprisingly enough....... although i reckon if i had one i'd have to cane it within an inch of its life to keep me from falling to sleep

 

Had an R1 for ages believe it or not Imprezas were worst thing for trying it on.

 

Also would the PC brigade saying grow up.... shut up, Op hasnt broken any rules or laws.

 

i had a 1.2 corsa in kermit the frog green up my **** the other day..and in it were what can only be described as 'N Dubz' ...2 lads in them stupid daft hats with the tassles on the sides.... right up the back of me almost touching my bumper. needless to say,the enevertable side by side at the lights came about.....red...amber and off he blasts...what a lovely sound the 'peco' makes. To**ers!

 

When i first got with the misses a kermit green corsa did exactly the same to me (evo4 misses driving) he was backing off then flying up behind us and breaking at last second. to the point that i said to misses jokingly "next time that pr1ck does that slam on" Guess what he did and she did to let a bus out off course. by the time i got outta car he had called her every slag under the planet including you did that on purpose cause you were jelouse!!!!!!!!

Soon shused when i got out eating my mcnuggets lol.

I cant remember being that arrogant tt 17 18 can any one else?

 

I had a vw golf gti (new shape) follow me out of the fuel station a few weeks ago only for him to have 2 shocks that day, 1st being his face when he see's a girl driving a wrx, which probably brought him a great deal of jealousy, 2nd being left at the fuel station while I make mince meat out of him. He must of felt like he'd put the wrong fuel in his car, lol. brang me great joy and an adrenaline rush being my first real left for dust moment since owning my scooby

 

I believe!!!

 

Sales reps in German barges usually

Had one sitting about 2 foot away from my rear bumper the other day when i was doing the legal limit

 

short wheel base mitsubishi pajero i think it was a sporty V6 3500
the bloke got well shirty at the next set of lights ,i think it was because he lost in front of his bird .

 

This is so true. I have more problems with Mr Average in **** cars than I do any other demographic group. Many a time I have been minding my own business pottering along doing well within the speed limit when Mr under achiever cuts me and other drivers up just to prove a point and get in front of me.

I usually laugh, give them the finger and just carry on driving as I was. Occasionally I've taken the bate and nailed it and cleared off but the majority of the time I just can't be arsed. I have nothing to prove to anyone

 

I was driving through the Tyne Tunnel the other week being tailed bumper to bumper by a tatty bog standard looking Silver Corsa C with 3 alloys and a steely, gets on to the dual carriageway boots it up to about 70 and this thing was STILL THERE

I was so surprised I changed into 5th gear instead of 3rd...

 

yesterday had a spotty teenager in a ford KA trying to race me ferking numptie most people in performance cars dont bother around here they just seem to enjoy driving them, its just the kids who have just passed their test that cause all the problems.

Ha! Me too, but you should see 'em in France: you pass one on a motorway, you're doing 85-90, within seconds I can guarantee he's up the back of you, lights flashing, waiting to get past, which, as you move in, he does at 110 or so.

But as he passes, you are then shocked to see he's towing one of those tiny trailers with about 8" wheels, and it's bouncing around all over the road

That's when I back right off.

But hey..............he showed you that his van-with-windows is as good as your Scoob!

PS: the French ALL think they are driving THE best, THE fastest, THE most well equipped car on the road
