I keep forgetting I'm a BMW owner now.

I need to buck my ideas up and starting causing some serious aggro.

Get out my f**king way, the lot of you

Since flash Bimmers are a favourite of drug dealers & the like, it's a probably best to ensure you are tired of life before indulging in such silly games.


Do this in Salford and you'll be in A&E before Friday.

Seriously.

But Nick, spot on with the RRS observation. They *hate* being overtaken, especially on country roads. They actually believe they are fast.
Thing is, they actually are pretty fast (engine dependent) and go round corners quicker than most people probably realise...

No they are not.

Fast is relative, and they are relatively slow.

You'd have to be a moron and have three bollox to believe they can outcorner and out run a sports car

"It drives like a car"

What car? One with bad handling?

what leads their drivers to believe they are fast, is their tendency to straightline anything remotely like a corner, to avoid understeering into oblivion

/driven quickly, they are invariably bloody dangerous to other road users

...and to stop like an ocean liner/HGV.

But I suppose it matters not one jot to the typical mentality of such Swank Tankers...
