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.... |

Then I smacked it into a wall and bought a car that didn't leave everyone who saw me driving assuming I was a total ******. -- I Amuse (I am Hughes.) Judge Nutmeg in #Digi 1998 156 2.0 TS Sport |

BMW drivers, you seem to remember so much about his car !!! Colour, Engine size Spec male driver Convertible??? I wasn't aware those Munchen sausage makers made a 1.6 convertible!!! please don;t tell me it's a new one... Why didn;t you just razz it past him over the middle? Kick up some dirt/dust/smallish paint chipping stones from the central reservation and be gone with him? And what are you doing taking your pride and joy out early on a weekend morning, let the guy have a lie in man !!! The only time it is justifiable to let your Alfa stretch his engine throat so early on the weekend is when your stomach is calling for an Egg-McMuffin (or BLT bagel now!!!) from the local greasy Golden M before the 10.30am breakfast lockdown...

Don't know about you but I tend to try and concentrate a bit whilst driving, so I occasionally remember what happened. Dual carriageway with central barrier, so much as I would have liked to engage hover mode, "razzing it past him over the middle" would have caused more than stone chips. Do you drink the Domestos? |

When i got my alfa i took sp1 - stereotype pack 1 that is. So now,
even though i've got a young family, I like to cruise the King's Road at midnight in an open shirt with one hand out of the window holding an impossibly strong cigarette and the other wedged up my model girlfriend's miniskirt whilst steering with my knees and adjusting my alice band. |
