A post on another site has just reminded me about an entertaining trip back from StAndrews the other night.
I had just pulled onto the motorway behind an Astra estate that had been driving me nuts for miles driving like a wally (you know the type, 10mph below the speed limit, braking for EVERY corner ect) so sitting in 5th I pull out and start to go past at a steady speed. I get about level and the wally speeds up... so I speed up a bit and get level again... and he does it again! :shoot2:
I was a bit miffed by this point as getting quicker and still not getting anywhere so I push on and *just* get past as he pull out behind me, litrally mm off my bumper :mad:
Do the usual tap on the brakes, no response. Tap the brake and the fogs - I get a full beam back. Shame wally features was so close I couldn't actually see them! :w00t:
So anyway now sitting at a more respectable 70ish passing a line of traffic, wally still glued to my back end and not getting the hint we reach the end of the line and before I could even think of moving over the Astra almost takes the front off a lorry trying to undertake me... did he not see the V6 badge? Let him get alongside, my girlfriend gives him a little wave as I drop to 4th and leave him totally standing :king:
The end of the story? Oh no!
About 10 mins later he finally catches up as I'm overtaking another line of traffic. On come the full beams again. By this point I'm royally hacked off and decide to have a bit of fun with him. I move over and every time he gets level I scoot forward a little bit then drop back again. Then joy a line of about 7 lorries doing 50 up a hill... so I cruise past them at about... ooo.. 51.5 mph?
Even on the Forth Bridge where traffic was heavy (and it's a 50 zone) he was still there, full beams on glued to my bumper not getting even a slight hint to back off.
Best part? He was going to take the next junction but was so busy trying to annoy me he got totally boxed in between me and 3 other cars! I nearly crashed laughing
