Had a leisurely drive on friday to Cornwall, took the better half's Disco TD5 rather than the scoob, thought it would be more relaxing and not attract the t055ers. Joined the Marlow bypass at Handy Cross and in the inevitable stream of traffic, low and behold a Porsche boxster (single oval (ish) pipe) tail gates me, no where to go (must be a gnats gonad in between us).. flashes lights, disappears under the rear bumper. Gap appears in the inside, I pull over rather than give them a brake test.. they storm past to the next car about 20 or so yards in front, darts inside, undertakes 5 cars and drops into a car length gap, then flashes a Van in outside lane with no where else to go either.. all in the rush hour(s). Reg was LU03 and in black.. If anyone knows the A404 between the M4 and M40.. its not the best place to push your luck.. if you see a boxster with LU03 in the plate and its black, give it a wide berth.. recipe for a major disaster.. Glad i did not take the scoob now.. otherwise Red mist syndrome may have taken over

Did one miss something?

Paul, especially at 3:30 ish on a friday, with everyone heading south and west.. i fought the temptation to brake test him (would be stupid and did not want to lower my self to his standard of driving), the Disco's brakes are highly more affective at dragging it 2.5 tons to a stop (more responsive than the scoobs standard ones)and its just as good in the twisties (ACE) he certainly would have said hello to the Tow bar if i had not resisted the temptation

Inappropriate and unfortunate naming of the the thread originally (longer form of the words d1ck head in a porsche) which was then immediately changed when the news on Mr. Burns was brought to my attention..reposted and the old thread deleted by the mods upon my request..

Thanks
