Default Ppl in beemers

I was on my way home on the A2 and was tail gated by an old "E"something beemer having passed a speed camera i shifted into 3rd, vtec and revved off leaving him to eat dust and was fast approaching... another beemer this time a 53 reg convertible. I was doing 80-90 ish in 4th in vtec and the bugger didn't move off till i undertook him( three lanes on the A2 had to move into the 1st). Having undertook him he decided to then speed up but i passed him at about 100...

If anything was approaching anyone from behind with some speed wouldn't they move off? But no it doesn't seem to apply to them!!!

One could argue that you shouldn't be approaching traffic on an A road at such a high speed anyway...

tell that to the beemer tail gating me approaching a speed camera in a 50mph zone... and the convertible beemer doing 70ish as i passed him.

i mean in general i see myself as calm and composed... till i am provoked then all sense disappears till...i see approach the next set of speed cameras

I do think it's such a crap cliche that it's beemer driver.

It's usually the type of car e.g. 4x4 or large saloon that I tend to get the hassle with, but the same can be said of most marques e.g. Audi, MB, BMW, Porsche (Cayenne especially), Lexus. I find Range Rover Sport drivers particularly frustrating.

Some people who own expensive big cars look down their noses at other cars including Jap cars. But these are the same ignorant twats in 'real life' too.

I couldn't agree more.

M-B drivers are usually confused/stupified as much as arrogant; the new Volvo driver.

But SUV drivers really have an inadequacy problem - especially RR Sport drivers.

More of a nice life subsitute than a penis substitute one might suppose.

I believe the 99-05 TDI drivers are now the new bad boys.

A complete TIT in an 03 Golf TDI drove like a total weapon when I was in my little gayboy A2 the other day.

What a complete tool.

Teenage Death Inevitable (if it were not for the 100 airbags).

Coincidence?
