I was out in my Exige today and as approaching a dual carriageway a German diesel of some sort, merc a class or similar was up my arse at speed so I pulled away, on the DC and then at some distance forward I was overtaking a lorry and he's there again, clung to my rear so as I pullover after passing the lorry, I press on as he tries to overtake, as you can imagine he's a dot at the rear in short time.

I continue forward and as I turn off, he goes past me and is flipping the finger at me and screaming in his car.


In fairness I could have pulled over and let him pass but he seemed a bit of a c*nt for clinging onto me so I thought I demonstrate the speed difference.

In fairness I shouldn't of risen to the diesel dickishness but some of these road warriors think they are superhuman.

Not sure if it's right or wrong. Bit of both I think. When I'm in my beater I let the good stuff get on past me.

I'm sure others have experienced this in various degrees.

 

Wrong forum I think.

 

Perfectly normal for a German cancerwagen?

 

That was wrong! You've been spending too much time here of late!

Given the recent "track day barny" thread, I'd have thought you would have known better that to do this sort of thing.

If someone wants to go faster than me, I generally try to get out their way as quickly and safely as possible. We all know how annoying it can be to be held up by someone driving slower than we would like.

Again, it comes down to not responding to dickish behaviour with dickish behaviour of your own.

 

I've seen coppers doing that sort of thing - i'd not play if i was you

 

Entrapment.

Nout wrong with that, I used to get it with Porsche drivers (And the odd Ferarri driver) in the Westfield and had it with an Audi R8 whilst on the bike.

This woman was giving me the V's because I flashed her to remove herself from the overtaking lane whilst she was overtaking nothing.

I have come across her several times now, every time she sits in the outside lane. As we discussed, just a standard undertake now.

Get out toolo's way

My M will do silly top speed but people want to overtake me all the time. Straight road dragging is for bummers with something to prove to themselves. Even a diesel will do 130+ probably. I dont see that as safe often on UK roads

Having said that there's no rule in my book stopping you hitting say 100 in double quick time

 

I was in the yellow peril. The yellow peril is a *lot* quicker than a diesel. This was a good test of differentials.

A supercharged exige versus a 2 ltr diesel is not a rolling drag. Trust me

 

Whats the top speed on your motor though?

I bet Roids' mapped 335d would spank you

 

Dunno actually. most things are not there when I press on. Gotta be 140 even with this gearing.
