Forget the fact that he left you for dead and made you look like a mug but the fact that he was an idiot in the wrong lane doesnt make any excuses for your actions. you would have been within your rights to have undertook without breaking the speed limit, and if you would have needed to break the speed limit to get past then you would have been silly to have been speeding on what even you admit to being such a trecherous road....[/QUOTE]

**** me is this thread still going on???

seriously though insulting the missus is bang out of order on a public forum, if the little get together was on the way to work then wait for him one morning follow him and have a polite chat with him and explain teh error of his ways

from DIESEL
Are the other Impreza owners on this thread who are in denial about the fact a diesel car will leave most of them for dead. Stupid Impreza owners who think they are driving the fastest cars on the road.
What I do for a living is my own business but it sure as hell pays better than Impreza ownership level.


now he's against all scooby owners now

5 pages for one question LOL

How come it was quicker than me
It had more power, nearly double the torque and better aerodynamics.

I was on the same bit of road about 2 months ago and a evo was sitting in the outside lane doing about 60mph, so i sat behind him for a minute and was just about to flash him , when some one behind me undertock both of us.

The evo then turned his blue lights on and pulled them over

Se we now have xantia on the grassy knoll. Have to say my sympathy is all with the guy in the tractor who had some idiot make a ****** sign at him....so left him for dead in a cloud of oily smoke Torque is a beautiful thing.....

This Diesel guy is typical of the mentality of BMW company car drivers. They act like the road is there just for them and **** anybody else who might want to get past. I ain't condoning road rage but I have been in the same situation many times in various cars, most of which have been sporty, and beemer drivers attitudes always seem to be the same. This may be generalising somewhat but really, what is this guys problem? The fact that he registers on a site called Scoobykillers to gloat about what he did surely shows that he was trying to goad somebody in to racing. Diesel you are a ****ing **** and no mistake. ****, I hope JDM does follow and torches your car you sad mother****er! Now everydody else, lets just chill and satisfy ourselves in the knowledge that we don't have to act like a child to get fun out of driving our Scoobies. Peace.

In all honesty it sounds like 2 people who should really go and get some driving lessons!You both drive like tossers and you obviously dont know your cars very well,whence why you managed to embarrass yourself.

I find the "holier than though" attitude here hilarious.

I would probably have done the same thing as JDM in the same circumstances, except I would have waited until I was past the BMW before any appropriate hand signals.

As for those advocating a freeway style in the UK - forget it. Unless everyone wants to poodle along at 55/65mph.

Also, the highways in Ontario are a nightmare for fast lane hoggers. I frequently come across people in the fast lane (which could be lane 2,3,4,5 or even 6!) with nothing on their inside. After a dozen or so other drivers undertake this prune, I often join the herd and undertake someone who often turns out to be a teenager on their mobile oblivious to their surroundings. Not condoning it, but I bet many on here would do the same (especially when you can have one or more lanes as a cushion).

I don’t think JDM did anything wrong to be honest. Got some idiot on the fast side crawling along. Would certainly of flashed him and probably would have resorted to hand gestures if the flashing had been ignored. Don't really understand all the negativity he has been getting. Ignore all the over the top do-gooders on this site mate. They will try to convince you that speed cameras are the best thing since sliced bread next.

Regarding the diesel versus petrol debate. Those new BMW diesels are fast but rather one trick ponies in my opinion. The Scooby is going to be more fun to drive and costs a fraction. I have absolutely no interest in diesels whatsoever. Equivalent petrols win hands down. Now I would love to see BMW do a big petrol turbo.

Cheers

It's not his fault if your wife is a moose.

You had better hope I never find out who you are and meet you. You are a piece of ****.

I looked over on the other site and its true there was a xantia in front of him what hes not saying is that I was wanting to go faster than him and he kept slowing down then speeding up again.

C'Mon, where's your sense of humour gone? The guy in the bmw was insulting you but it's clear the slim_boy_fat was injecting some humour into the thread. lighten up.

Anyway, the whole issue is getting ridiculous. Guy doesn't pull over, gets w**ker sign, decides to outdrag pursuant. Happens all the time, lack of sensibility on both sides but learn and move on. All perspective on life and driving seems to have been lost.

chill people

You are clearly a funny guy, ever thought about going on stage, pmsl

This must be the all time funniest scoobynet thread ever.

Breaking news scooby owner upset by getting spanked by another car... This is better than Dallas.

The reality is you were spanked good and proper by a significantly faster/better/more expensive/more classy/ more just about anything car.

It happens all the time, and i am sure 99% of scooby ownere have done a similar thing to other drivers.

GET OVER IT or go and buy a proper fast car!!!

Some people here need to put on some whale music, light a few incense sticks, start doing their breathing exercises and seriously relax...
