Got tailgated last night by a **** of a driver,
pulled up behind me at the lights with his nose so close I couldn't see his lights, I drove off at speed limit behind a discovery.
Chap then drives with his nose on my bumper for the next mile till we get out of the speed limit where I overtake the disco; he follows and flashes his lights continually, pulling in and out, etc.
On an unrestricted unlit road I accelerate to 60, go round a bend and get the same flashing of lights, driving erratically, etc.

After 3 miles of this I figure enough is enough and head for the nearest village in case the tosser has a gun/weapon or something, not wanting him to know where I live; realising that the village would still be busy at that time with witnesses to any fracas that might take place.
I lose said idiot within the street layout.

Guess the marque....(clue, it's not a Subaru).

Is that gold monstrosity the 2004 STi Impreza?

They are half way to swapping the colour scheme, it just needs blue wheels to finish it off.

Gawsh, you lot are pretty thick.

This one had the magnetic bumper factory option and obviously hasn't been recalled to cope with the dodgy front suspension that causes it to weave from side to side with no provocation...no it's not a Focus RS either.

I couldn't have provoked him as my 5 door only has a single tailpipe now, and no badging to say what it is.

I'd have to guess at a company BMW, or maybe a clapped kid-on cavalier turbo?

I had someone do the same to me last night except it was a clapped old 1990 style 1.6 vtec civic. Guy wanted to race. My 4 week old daughter on my passenger seat didn't.

Guess that clue gave it away...

Being that so many people have this opinion of BMs and their drivers, is it fair to say that this marque attracts more than the average number of morons ?
