Default Is it just me...

....bright sunny morning, tooling down the dual carriageway at a
respectable 70 mph. Very few cars on the road apart form a eurobox in
the inside lane (Pugeot/Citroen/Rover???) and a gold BMW 316 i
convertible in the outside lane overtaking said eurobox UNTIL he sees a
156 bearing down on him, whereupon he backs off and matches the speed of
the car in the inside lane at about 40mph...no way past so I backed off
and ended up right behind him for a bit. Followed him for a bit until
it was safe to overtake him and then dropped a cog and went around the
outside.

He was shaking and shouting and obviously very upset that he was being
passed...real road rage moment for the Beemer boy.

Anyway it got me thinking...you know how dog owners end up looking like
their dogs? Well, do BMW cars attract the owners, or do the cars turn
the drivers into *******? Do they have to fill out a special form when
you buy one that says "I promise to drive like a ******, cut people up
at every opportunity, and generally act like I am a smug ******* because
I am driving a Bavarian Mobile Wanktank - so help me God" - before they
will let you take it off the forecourt???

Ahh, I think the medication is beginning to work....
