Default To$$er rating scheme

I consistently see certain cars be driven by to$$ers, do stupid/dangerous things. Is this a local or national phenomenon? My rating is out of 10. Add as you see fit:


VW Golf Gti: 9
VW Passat 2.0Tdi: 8
BMW: was an 8 . . . now a 5?
Audi, especially the luke warm A3's: 9
Skoda, even the hot one: 2
Range Rovers: 8 (Overfinch/Sport 9)
Low budget French cars with a big can on the back: 9


It may just be Somerset, who knows, but I reckon there's a pattern.

Bit of both, it's either best to well in front of a to$$er or well behind and laught at the crapness.

I find the car park is their main habitat, with motorways a close second.

Brother followed a yellow Evo 7 the other night in his STi version 4, Anyway there was a row of traffic in front of both cars, The Evo for some reason puts his hazards on and goes on the otherside of the road on a blind bend and takes over all the cars.

Fair play to my brother, Who didnt take the bait. Im glad to see my younger brother doesnt drive like a ****. I was always worried when he bought his scoob, but to be honest he takes a lot of pride in his car and isnt really in to street racing!!!

Down here its Audi's and diesel VW's. Audi's are the worst by a country mile though.

Cool

Yes tradionally it was BMW but it now seems like they are moving over to Audi
prehaps the opional mirrors were to expensive on BMW ?

Fiestas seem to be taking over from saxos ans corsa b as they rust away in the scrapyards covered in stick on tat from halfrauds

I'm enjoying just driving around in my little pug 106 now. Worth about £600 and nice and reliable so no where near the worry I used to have with the scoob or 205. Also everyone seems to let you out on junctions in this little runaround. Definite different in attitude to when driving the scoob. Audi's for me followed by the old daudlers in korean/Honda/other jap **** boxes doing 35mph EVERYWHERE!!!

here in devon its mostly saxo corsa and fiesta driven by bellends who have convinced themselves that no only can they actually drive like the stig but thier car is faster than a scoob , however thier is also a large peugot 206 brothering since peugot did the free insurance thing . these are worth a mention as the most dangerous. as we all recall as kids you never looked after something until you had to earn it . so the freebie insurance ones are the worst in my opinion

Had a good one last night coming off a dual exit roundabout. Golf Gti on the inside, I wasn't hoofing it but he pushed hard to stop me overtaking prior to it going from 2 to 1 lane. Needless to say he was spanked but honestly what's the point? If he knows his cars he knows he's not going to win so why try? It must be because he is, and always will be, a to$$er. I have had a lot of performance cars of all types and ages and I know what's worth toying with and what's not. I honestly think that at least 70% of Audi/VW 2.0 Tdi/Gti owners have gone from a 1.0/1.4 Polo/A2 and jumped in to this seemingly invincible rocket ship and they have no real comparison in the real world. A bit like the boy racers in their 205's etc. First or second car, it feels quick to one who has just come from a bicycle or riding in Renault Espace as a passenger.

To$$ers.

Hmm, i'd have to call you on 'bicyclist ecomentalists' like, they are idiots, and they shouldnt be allowed on the road... but bus drivers are different kettle 'o' fish like! The way the creep out of the bus stop when they know you're coming and nearly plow into the side of you, what do they expect you to do? Stop? You fookin' STOP! Coz nee way would you stop when its p*ssing down with rain and i'm running to catch your daft peasant wagon! You'd drive on with a smile on your face. Pr*ck.

No offence to any bus drivers on here like...





... aye, right!

A 10 for sure.

Another thing that annoys me about these fcucking people carriers, is that 9 times out of 10 there's just the driver in it.

Amazingly, no one has mentioned the 'c' word. Caravans - aren't they Satan's own mode of transport? Or is it a myth perpetuated by TopGear?

Volvos!!! I forgot to add it in my first post. especially the fully loaded, kids in the back ones. They also seem to go 35mph on country roads and will not anybody past. I had a 1.0 lupo as a first car and I wound all 50 horses up to overtake this thing and it started accelerating!! I eventually got past and then decided to chase me for the next 4 miles. Not bad for a 17 yr old just passed her test!! and the best bit was the wife/partner yelling at him for doing it hehehehe
