Unhappy

I had to sit and listen to a work collegue vent his anger at the driving standard of the driver of R***AR (blue UK?)who had cut him up yesterday afternoon in south Milton Keynes. "just cos he's got an impreza doesn't mean he can queue jump down a single carriageway road in heavy traffic, cutting in and out between cars sometimes ending up three abreast" I tried to point out that we are not all like that, or maybe it was an unmarked police car! but obviously the scooby driver had upset a few people in the process. Having said that maybe my collegue was just jealous because he couldn't catch hime in his Renault 25! ;-)

You know - sometimes you win and sometimes you lose! - it happens - it's all about being in the right place at the right time - if the chance is there and you go for it - then you do and **** people off - then there are days when you're stuck behind someone and you get taken out by a Fiat Panda - it happens!! It's called driving - and being awake and being one step ahead of the next guy! So - tomorrow it'll be his turn !!!

And you really shouldn't publish other people's registration numbers! I'd be pissed off if it were mine.

Glad to say it wasnt me, nearest i got to MK today was Dunstable

Sorry I have to agree with Penni though, it would be better not to publish reg numbers of cars, and also the driver of the car concerned may never have heard of the BBS, the SIDC or IWOC, and may just be a Blankety Bank

When people, who havent had a really fast car before, get a shot of a scooby they go daft. They dont realise how fast they are going and get blinkered by the fact that they are in a fast car and so expect to go faster than anyone else.
In other words it may not have been the owner of the above car that was driving it at the time!
OK physcology lesson over.
Be safe out there
Greg

Someone at my work is selling a P reg series McRae (46K) for £15 ish. I know it's a fair way above £10k!

The details are from memory but if he want the info I can find the guys email address and pass it on next week.

Much worse.
Personal experience leads me to believe there is no stereo in the standard vehicles here.
The click click of the indicator is therefore used instead of trance music.
Don't trust the indicators.
