I get it all the time. The chav lot see the subaru as a bench mark to beat. If they get past they can tell their mates in the pub how they 'did the subaru off the lights, over a bottle of blue wkd

 

I was taking the cat to the vets today(he's had a few problems, needed a blood test), so was taking it easy. I pulled over behind a large van, parked on my side of the road, changing street lights, to let the on coming traffic past(all of two cars). This old dear, 60+ over took me, and nearly planted her car straight into the oncoming car! Best bit, she had to reverse back behind me, i just gave her a look, but she pretended i wasn't there!

Never really noticed to be honest, I think that drivers who tailgate will do it whatever you're in....

 

.....it did, until the Anti Lag. They soon back off then when the flames lick their bumper.

 

Anyone ever get surrounded by young chav lads on scooters in city centres? Its like something out of mad max, i keep waiting for the chains to come out lol.

 

tailgaters are complete doughnuts , the look on their faces after a bit of left foot breaking always cheers up my drive

 

lol i`ve had that, its madness and they all love reving their feisty 50cc peds up as they surround you.

 

It happens to me all the time,so i just race them doing atleast double the speed limit

 

Yep ,not in a city centre but i do have a dual carriageway quite close and a Maccy Ds on it.
Late ish one night ,window was down and the a couple of them said' Let's see what you've got' so i did

 

yep all the time. and even those who refuse to let you pull in form the slip road, had it today on the way to the market. wife was driving, she floored it and managed to slide into the traffic, then he was hanging on the exhaust fumes. giving it all that, 30m later he turned off. what is the reason for that nonsense.....

 

I had one young un in a french box thingy, trying to get his car into my boot while on the last bit of the journey coming back from my parents. I had the wife and my then 1 1/2 month old daughter in the car so was being careful. We have quite a nasty corner near us which you would think is 20 - 30 mph but in reality is more like 10 -15 because it tightens and you can't see it tightens until your in it. so I come out of the corner, i'm in 3rd doing 15 mph and he decides to overtake, he didn't have get a shock when the scoob started to came on boost, good job I wasn't interested and changed up at 3k5 rpm.

Jase

 

Ha thats ace!

in the red corner, the undefeated Subaru Impreza, weighing in at 2000cc and 276 BHP.....

in the blue corner, the wasp in a jam jar scooter, weighing in at 50cc and 10 BHP......

What were they thinking?!!

 

Thinking ?

That's a joke right ?

LOL

dunx

P.S. I only seem to get 30-something wanna-be's doing it to mine, mainly just throw it round a corner without braking, and watch them understeer off the road. Pure Comedy !

 

I get my fair share of tailgaters. If im on big roads, I loose them, in town do my level best to annoy them with my best Grandpa Driving lol.

On the flipside of this, I find that people on multi lane roads seem to get out my way quickly when they see the scoop coming up behind them. This never seems to happen in the other cars i drive, always get stuck behind the person that has to do 70 in the 'fast lane' on the M-way in other cars

 

Thing is thought (and I'll get flamed for this) 70 is technically the legal limit in the "fast lane". If some **** was doing 55 in the fast lane then fair does.

(And yes I have done 71 on a motorway before)

 

Always seems to be plonkers in 4x4's or people carriers,i just let them go as i cant be arsed with it anymore.

 

I had a Saxo boy give me some jip this afternoon..... I am just starting to get a feel for my car, and I couldn't help but smile when I managed to leave him for dust. Unfortunately he caught up with me at the lights on the duel carriageway and his jaw dropped when he realised I was a woman! He sat there again while I left him for dust and I assume his mate picked his jaw up off the steering wheel!

 

i was tail gated so close last night,i slowed down to let a van pass on a narrow road,and bang he ran right into the back of me

trace..x

 

Oh crap! Has there been much damage done?

 

back bumper,and bent up the metal plate beind the number plate..

 

you also have whip lash, see your GP or goto A&E right away

 

Indeed

I never get tail gated, raced or anything else now

 

Anyone will have a go these days but the worst offenders are those who have not yet worked out which is the right way to wear their baseball cap!

 

All Subarus should have the following bumper sticker.

"If you wish to get any further up my ar$e.

We need to be on first name terms."

 

u could do with one of them stickers "you've just been beaten by a girl" just to rub it in

 

Safer to switch rear fogs on quickly - looks the same and has the same effect

 

My new sticker seems to work quite well too.....

 

Once in my old classic had a van about 1ft from the rear bumper. Flamer got switched on and sent flames up the bonnet and windscreen. he soon pulled back.

 

ROFL!

Thats in the top 100 things to do before i die lol.

*searches ebay for flamer kit*

 

I seem to get a bit more respect on the roads in the Scoob then other cars. You get the sales rep type cars that refuse to believe someone can have a faster car then them that didnt cost £90k, but for the most part its ok.
Now when I am in the little vw gti I get what feels like EVERYONE in the slip stream.

Difference is in the scoob I could move over a lane and put my foot down so they cant get passed.
In the golf I have to just give in.
