A few months ago a pillock in a Primera on the M25 decided to overtake me, then pull in front and slow right down. I was just doing a steady speed so pulled out and went passed him. He immediately repeated the manouevre.
Not to be baited I just slowed right down, moved into the slow lane for a few miles.

Last year a woman in a Micra reversed into me in a car park.

But tonight was just the icing on the cake:

Coming out of Christchurch, the dual carriageway ends and becomes single carriageway, and the traffic was just crawling along. Anyway, everyone's filtered into the single lane until Mr Primera comes along, draws along side me (not passed me and half in the on-coming traffic lane), and proceeds to squeeze me off the road. Not wishing to make contact I end up driving along in a bus stop lay-by thing! F**ing Bast**d!

Anyway, decided the next aftermarket addon for my sccoby will be some of those james Bond machine guns a-la Goldfinger Aston Martin

Where are the Police when you need them?

The absolute best mod you can do to stop this sort of behaviour is a 1.1 Escort "coupe" on a B-Reg with a huge rusty smash in the drivers side
1 yr of owning it and no-one ever cut me up. They knew I would NOT give way.

Hey, hey, lets not bash Nissan drivers. I'm one...er till the turbo hits US soil. And I happen to drive the US version of the car you justbashed Yeah, yeah, it's that American big-6 thing again, but anyway. Here it is the Honduh drivers that cause all the mayhem. But just don't chase after them; one never knows whos is carrying a gun here...registered or otherwise.

Dons double insulated flames suit.

Were they Primera GT's?

If so you had best pull over as they have the distinct Q Car advantage.

Paul : "best engine they can give em are 2 liter 4's."

Isn't that what Subaru supply to the Impreza?

Tongue firmly in cheek.

Not that I'm bitter at having the scoob nicked! Three years of a primera eGT and not once did I feel nervous about leaving it anywhere. Considering another one 150bhp on an L/M plate for about 4K (considered one of these S De Banke?). Good chassis and fine engine.

PaulL,

These Nissan drivers were probably taken in by the old advertising campaign.....'You can in a Nissan.'

Whilst I sympathise with you I would say that 2 cars before my scoob I had a Micra 1.0l (Noddy car shape) and got loads of abuse from most road users.

You can in a Nissan say "encoulez Uxbridge!" and drive to your spare 22B courtesy of your American/Australian and Welsh contact

M25 incident was indeed a Primera Taxi
Micra was an old shape one
Latest incident was a "sporty" (read as "tacky") Primera, but not a GT - driven by a bloke in his 20s

>>The absolute best mod you can do to stop this sort of behaviour is a 1.1 Escort "coupe" on a B-Reg with a huge rusty smash in the drivers side

Believe me, its crossed my mind. Maybe I should go and buy one for £50 (or is that too much ) and just drive around Christchurch waiting to see him again.

jjones,

I shall join you in the protection of Primera GT's as I also had one for two years. Can't say a bad thing about it and on a wet fast road it wouldn't embarass itself against my Scoob either!

(Plus only half the insurance!!!)

blubs.
