Default You ever wish u left the scooby behind and took ur other car?

Hi guys,

Had a ****e day, It started when i 'had' to go shopping with the mrs on my first day off for 10 days, i used the scooby instead of my runaround car understanderbly, my god i wish i didnt bother.

Within the space of an hour 2 cars cut me up or pulled right infront of me almost pushing me into the barrier, countless cars not letting me out junctions etc, a porsche 911 wanting to race me later on (mrs wasnt happy)and to top it all off i looked at the car in the morning on the next day and i have a puncture!!!


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not happy

Had the misfortune of having to go the shops today - got there for 9.30 am and it was packed. As reversing out two people fighting for my place - a merc and a TT - except the stupid woman in the merc had positioned it such a way that I could not get out at all, had to get out and tell her to move so I could get out. This time of year is awful to drive anywhere - roads are full of complete idiots. Saw a few scrapes and bumps as well !

Funnily I find very few people pull out on me in the Jeep, but weirdly, in my Scoob, 4WD "tanks" seem to delight in pulling out and crawling up to the speed limit just to bug me.....

Today was a nightmare in town - and included one spate of me having my window down yelling at a Freelander driver who was beeping his horn because I wasn't going to maneuver around a keep left bollard when a car was coming in the other direction - how terribly awkward I was being huh? (two cars had had a prang and rather get off the road - prehaps into the garage which was about 5 metres from the front of the first car, which both were capable of doing, they just decided to block it instead.. )

Thats not including the 2 or 3 people who cut me up out of junctions/on roundabouts today.

December gets here and many people just turn into utter *****..

Other drivers **** me off no end

Gateshead High Street, 30mph zone, this evening the speedo was reading roughly 2mph if that, because stupid people were being stupid.

To the OP, it doesnt matter if I'm in the works van or the car, there's always a dumb **** around to bring joy(RAGE) to your day.
