The wrong kind of attention....
Does anyone else get this?
Eg travelling to work the other day, long line of single lane traffic bumper to bumper doing around 25mph and there's a fecking Vectra for god's sake right up my ar$e and hanging out halfway across the oncoming traffic as if he thinks he's gonna show everyone!!
And another.... came out of shop other day, quiet residential street and some twat in a blinged up Prelude with an all noise and no action exhaust saw the S, deciced it would be a good idea to crank it down to second and floor it thru second and into third... tosser must have been doing 70 as he neared the end of the road with kids playing on gardens literally feet away! Really impressive!
Just been a general observation since owning the S, love it to bits but don't get it where the aggrevation comes from, never had it before.
Are people trying to test you, jealous, just plain tossers or a mix of all?
Also... anyone know what the likely sentence would be for bolting one of these twats to the front bumper of my S, hitting the red on the motorway and arse ending a tanker?

Or... as this winds me up so much, how about a prize for suggesting the most suitable treatment towards these gimps?
How about the "prize for anally retaining a whole case of Helfords Rip Speed blinganalia along with spare wheel, brace, jack(sy) and anything else likely to cause upmost discomfort"?

at least the S isn't as bad as the CTR i had before the S - everyone wanted a go against you in that car - "most" folk gve the S some respect but there are always twats out there who have something to prove etc.
i had an audi 1.9 diesel estate driver today who overtook me and another two cars on a NSL road coming onto a blind crest - is it bad that i hoped a big truck would have suddenly appeared over the crest? funny thing was that we went teh same route for another 40 miles or so and i eventually got past him as he tried to undertake another couple of cars on the motorway - made me smile.
another incident today as i was driving dow a slip road onto the motorway i had an astra gsi glued to my bumper and i had a slow car in front - so rather that wait the twat in the astra cut acroos all the chevrons right over into the fast lane and zoomed off - i bided my time, pulled on legally, came up behind him and gave him the full beam - he pulled over and as i drove past hime i gave him a good glare and he had a big cheesy grin on his face as if it was a great laugh...
people are strange

Yep had someone in a 306 blinged up, zorst to the max (had 4 tailpipes) try it on in a 50 limit as I turned off for fuel. He still floored it to show me .....
How rubbish his car really was.

if you ever see one of these multi-exhausted cars parked go and have a look and see how many actually have black marks from use on them - halfrauds do a roaring trade in fake tail-pipes!

Or the guy that decided to overtake me just as the car in front of me pulled out to overtake the slow moving farm truck in front, and i was about to indicate and pull out myself! Luckily I spotted the twat behind me who didn't want to give me a chance to pull out and o/t - call it sixth sense, muppet.

That should be a suitable sentence actually, like three months in the Carribean all expenses paid for service to the community, or just pure satisfaction...

you're right, i reckon you can develop a sixth-sense about drivers - no matter what kind of car it is - it doesn't take you long to realise if someone is a twat or not!
