....since lowering my car and fitting the 18's is that every bellend in a Fiesta/Saxo/Corsa wants to have a play with me.
I was driving back from my Girlies the other night along the M42 and caught the attention of a group of complete kidneys in a Fiesta Zetec S. The driver was so keen on trying to look at me that he nearly drove into the central reservation about 3 times. Clearly they were baiting me by speeding right up behind me, pulling out at the last minute and then just sitting level with me waiting for me to 'do something'. The only thing I did was flick the V's and mouth 'f*ck off' at him....he still didnt get the message.
Where the M42 turns to the M40 I'd finally had enough, me slowing down to get him to go away wasnt working so I just booted it, 3rd gear, 4th gear and half way through 5th.....Fiesta couldnt keep up by a long way and he was gone. I nipped off at the next junction to ensure he wasnt going to keep on following but jesus....what a complete fister.
Its happening more and more often now, sat at traffic lights and some idiot wants a play. I just let them go normally (give the impression I'm up for it but just cruise slowly away from the lights) but lately I've been getting a bit fed up by them.
Anyway, spleen vented but I wonder if someone can answer a question for me. I dont see my car as fast by a long way, I mean properly fast. Its quick enough for what it is but I know that there's a lot of cars out there that would eat me for breakfast. So, why do young lads (mainly) think its a good idea to get into a bit of a grand prix with someone when they know full well they're going to get taken to school?. It cant be much fun or very rewarding getting your ar$e handed back to you on a plate everytime you go for a bit of sport. I'd never take on something I know is a lot quicker than me only to watch is drive away over the horizon
Grrrrrr, morons.

PS: Yes I know 'racing' on a public road is bad, it was done to distance myself from matey boy who was almost crashing into everything else on the road...I didnt want him crashing into me. However on this occasion there wasnt much of a race, just an education :thumbsup:
