Driving home yesterday I joined the A406 and noticed a silver 3 series BMW on my bumper. I moved lane to let him go past. As i did this, he flew past me (like i was stationary), and then proceeded to weave dangerously through the 3 lanes almost causing many accidents. The only sign on this de-badged 3 series was
"AC SHNITZER" (I know that they are similar company to Brabus and I would be interested to know what was under the bonnet).However, the main reason for this story is to warn ppl that there is a lunatic driver on the A406 who has a death wish and does not really care who he takes with him. I see a few Scoobys on the A406 and thought i would let you guys and girls know. This is the type of moron who would kill some innocent driver or pedestrian and walk out of court smiling saying how truly sorry he is blah, blah, blah - just pis*es me off.

eliot the same happened to me along the M6 Southbound a few months ago, this time it was an STI type R [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I remember his reg but won't post it........I tried to follow him but I deemed it far too dangerous with the amount of traffic and he was weaving all over the place and upsetting quite a few drivers who then looked at me in the same way as if I was with him........

Great, so we all get tarred with the same brush - no doubt it will push insurance prices up.

MichelleWRX1994

That's just it.......

Cos I had the same type of car as him, they thought I would do the same type of driving as him..........I pulled off on the next junction as there were too many irate drivers in the wake of this lunatic.......

With the hellish amount I pay on insurance I wish other drivers who don't have to worry about their insurance and drive like idiots would dtop and help me get my premiums down

DavidRB

Why did you try to follow him?

MichelleWRX1994

When he passed me I was tootling along as I had driven quite away (I was sitting with the lorries!!!!) I thought it might be nice to accompany another scoob driver.........he didn't even acknowledge me, the traffic was heavy dso he couldn't go fast, but when I managed to slot in behind him he started nipping into any gap, tailgaiting and swinging across all lanes.........

I thought sod this and left him to it......

DavidRB

Cool, thought you were trying to catch him up and give him a piece of your mind!

Eliot - Schnitzer will tune anything, but their monsters are usually 328's with turbos or superchargers. You can also buy a badge for a fiver and stick it on your 316

MichelleWRX1994

I would have done but didn't want to risk an accident, he was travlling FAST........I was stuck in the outside lane at 65/70 and he darted to the inside nearly on the hard shoulder and accelerated like we were standing still, I hate to imagine what speed he was going but he soon disappeared and I was on a straight bit

I was hoping he would come off at the same junction that I did and I would eventually see him again to give him a piece of my mind, but no, t'was not to be........

If I do see him again, I shall have words
