Default Evo drivers- *********!

Question? why do Evo drivers see us WRX owners as a threat ?
i was driving normal along minding my own business when this Evo clocked me then started following me driving like an absolute **** nearly causing a few accidents just to try and get past me.
Jealousy me thinks !! they just cant handle it

the best thing to do with dick head drivers is just ignore them. make them feel very small when they get no reaction from you.

I don't have any problems with the Evo drivers down this way.

The diesel rep-mobiles are the ones who always drive like tossers, normally Audi A3 or A4

as moley mention's i get rep cars like new volvo diesels right up my backside why? does the torque on their diesel make them feel superior? or is it because i have 'N' reg old scooby and there new car can 'put a scooby to shame'! ? makes me laugh. Its rare i bite, but when i do, i just do the same to them see how they like it by letting them past & then driving up there **** jesting them to hurry up to say why are you going slow pal? only if im having a bad day though

I tend to find that people with similar cars ie Evos,Supras ect tend to be ok. It's the chavs in their Corsas and saxos are the problem.
Big laugh last week when a Saxo VTS with huge exhaust sat next to me in a busy town centre,he decided to blast off the lights with wheels spinning only for the car behind him to be an Un-marked police car Just gave him a little wave as i drove past

That's an unfair thread title - the majority of them are not. The Lexus 4x4 that was behind me this morning certainly was though.

This.

Don't have such a problem with Evos (mainly because I don't really see any) - always the rep mobiles that seem attracted to me.

Also Seat drivers - what on earth is wrong with them?

The local MPV kiddie minibus (some woman who takes all her kids and a few others I'd have thought to school every morning) must do 50mph though our village... AND she lives here too... total disregard to pedestrian safety.... and quite happy to hassle someone who's not driving as fast as she wants too... makes my blood boil everytime I see her.

Find most evo and Subaru drivers fine(have watched a local down this way drive like a c*** in his blobeye when i have been in my everyday car), tend to get a wave from both, as above seems to be rep-mobiles that can be a pain, best just ignored to be honest!!

I get more trouble from crazy women in people carriers, sitting what seems like one inch from my bumper, whilst their kids bounce about in the back with no seatbelts on. Surrey seems to be full of them
Never had an issue with an Evo driver round my way, seemed to have a mutual respect thing going on when I had the scoobs.
