I've got a blob STI and this is the first car that has caused other road users to drive erratically upon just seeing my car. This is without me even goading them into a race or the like.

It's happened to me on a number of occasions and I've seen all marques of car go crazy, once they notice my vehicle being there. It's as if they need to acknowledge their prowess as a capable driver, even though their car may not be.

As crazy as this sounds, I somtimes feel guilty for making them act this way and some have come close to crashing!

 

I`ve noticed a lot of cars pull over on motorways to let me pass, then pull back out. Maybe they see us and assume we`re driving like loons lol.

 

I get it all the time. Drove past some sort of cruise the other day Saxos as far as the eye could see, within 10 secs they were all behind me giving it loads. I just let them past to which I was greeted with some choice hand gestures. lol

 

For me it seems to BMW drivers that are the worst for it. Especialy when coming form two roads into one they are determined for you not to get in front of them to the point they're willing to bump you out of the way.

 

Very common some people see a scoob and think that they need to try to prove that their car is as quick or quicker, also get a lot of people get to close from behind trying to push me, best to ignore them as it's their problem not ours,

 

Had just the same with a M3 last night on way home from the tunnel run, tried to get me to race, don't rise to it, I don't!

 

I seem to have a problem with taxi drivers tailgating me to see how fast I can go! I drop down to 20mph to **** them off, I know what my car can do, no need to prove nothing to anyone.

Anyone got any spare 1.6 GL badges they want to sell?

 

Scoobs are a magnet for every bell end on the road im afraid, happens to me all the time.

 

Scoobs are the bench mark by which others like to judge themselves and their cars by, so they can go down the pub and tell their mates they dusted a scooby the other night and how fast their piece of shyte tin box is.

Just take it as a compliment, and welcome to da "BIG DOWGS CLUB"

 

I get this problem most mornings on my way to work form a golf r32 driver in 2 months I've only risen too him once which I think is good being as I see this bell end every day

 

Yes you are right i find bmw drivers to be the worse ,one reason why i could never buy one

 

I am a BMW driver and Scooby too

 

have to agree think they own the roads in a320d tossers the lot off them

 

In a taxi on the way home the other night. Overtaken by a silver car. Taxi driver says "**** thats travelling". Just glimpse the begiinings of the reg. "It's ok, it's the wife in my car" says I laughing. Is why every wannabe has to have a go whenever they see a scoob, they just do it so effortlessly.

 

Slow right down I do n that annoys them all

 

LOL, yeah get the same.....

If you're in front they are up yer rear end wanting to do 60mph, if they're in front and there is no chance of getting past its down to 20 in a 40, road opens up, guess what the muppets try and do? There is no way I'm going to stay sat behind some divvy in a fiesta/saxo/corsa/any other car driven by chav/old fart..

Actually the old farts are worse round here than the chavs, at least the young 'uns have a bit of respect for the car.....

 

Ive noticed a lot of other drivers seem give me a bit of a wide birth,I always thought it might be cos of the dark windows,people cant see whos in the car.I have noticed a few people making hand gestures when coming towards me tho

 

It's the 45 mph ers thet get me. Overtake in a 60 and flash flash flash "how dare you overtake you speeding nutter" Next 30 zone they come trundling up still doing 45! Who's the dangerous one?

 

Oh jeeeez!
Driving to work yesterday, some 50 year old geeza in some shi**y w reg punto (probably 1.2) was waiting at the lights for me side by side.
As i got infront of him, he suddenly turned into Schumacher and thought he was in the Monaco Grand Prix lol.
I just tune it out and look what's infront of me rather than behind. Coz if people slam into you, it's there fault for following to closely !!
