The Turbo attracts some idiots!

Post by streaker »

On the way home last night, not booting it but then again not out for a Sunday drive either....

Some gimp in a new Punto take offense that I am about to overtake him so floors his pile of cheap italiano cack and has to do an emergency stop to avoid back ending another car at the lights.... :|

Further down some particularily ugly midgit gorilla in a Vectra ( I was surprised it didnt break down ) pulls away from the lights a bit quicker and then lets me past in 3rd - 4th upto a roundabout. I'm then behind another car on a slip road when he tools past and cuts us both up to cut into our lane infront, really bullied his way in, I wouldnt have let him, but the car infront obviously didnt want to be side swiped :evil:

In the CRX people look and pull out the way, in the Civic dicks just dont want to accept it's quicker than their heaps of shite and are willing to cause accidents trying to proove the point :roll: Madness :?

And another Vectra tonight, foot down and crazy manoeuvres just to stay ahead. FFS, I'm only going home and not up for that sort of thing.

Do they only come out at night?

Infuriating isn't it! I've been lucky in my Civic to somehow avoid these cretins....when I had my Suzuki Swift GTI on the other hand...it seemed to attract all the knobheads :roll:

Streaker...I think your Rover wheels may not be helping your situation :lol:

Looking at what you guys are saying, this is obviously becoming a problem. I get it quite often round my way too! I think our little civics are getting quite a reputation and all these "chiefs" feel they have some point to prove? I think they just don't like the idea of a 20yr old motor making them look stupid. I find youths in C1's and Fiesta zetec-s particularly bad. Bit of the green eyed monster me thinks :OD :D

I got my 4g on the road 3 weeks ago.

I only want to go slow between home and work but the amount of people wanting to prove they can't be beaten by a j-reg is stupid when I am not even trying and they are foot flat down I would suspect.

Got to love these new 2010 cars getting left by my old 4g :)

Peter, it isn't the wheels, they put their foot down before I'm up to them. Just a set of lights coming up behind or maybe its noisier than an average car.

No problems tonight, I was in a hurry!

Yea i get annoyed this these tools too, but the feeling of pissing all over a much more modern car, which is worth maybe 10 times the adverage 4g, driven by an overpayed smug bastard is a good feeling!
