Talking Am I followed by the PAPARAZZI?

So here I am gently piloting down the Hendon Way . . .

Traffic pretty heavy, but not too severe . . .All of a sudden, I have a feeling like I am being watched . . I check out the car next to me , which was a Peugeot 307 (or something like that), and there is a young lady (not too sure if she was tasty or not) examining my GOLD alloys . . .But more distubringly, there is a geezer sitting in a the back filming my Scoob with a digital camera . . .AS the traffic began to roll, he took every opportunity to film my car from every angle . .

I must admit i slowed down, so he got a shot of my best side . .But as the traffic opens up, I nail it and get away from them . .

Question - is this experience quite normal to be filmed by bystanders, and if so, do you nice Scoobynetters wave to the camera!

Answers on a postcard!

Its the flashing light behind yahs at 100mph that you must avoid if possible..

Hmmmmmm,

Whilst its tempting to think that the individual filming your car is interested/an enthusiast, I would say if this happened to me I would be off like a shot.

There's too many stories of car ringings, jackings, etc not to feel a significant level of disquiet at such activity. Besides if you want to film my car flippin ask me first. Its the polite thing to do in this increasingly ill mannered world
