What do people think about multi-million pound super cars that 40 year old lottery winners zoom about in, the Lambo Merchialago etc. All made of plastic, pointless road cars and the drivers seem intent on killing everybody around them. hmmm, once again i think your focusing on the drivers, as the cars are undoubtably good cars |

i'm beginning to think that my hate is better aimed at the drivers,take the c*ck i over took tonight ,
6.30pm, middle lane m60,no lights on, swerving all over the shop,
so i hang back and flash him ,and again and a few more times times for good measure,absolutly no response.so i over take and as i go past there is d*ck brain on his ruddy mobile to his ear chatting away,so i cut the sh1t up (really close too)and put on my rear foggie,nothing ,nada,zilch.by this time he is taking up both lanes of the off slip.i left him be ,i tried.i failed.

yep, also on the basis of a bad experince tonight I'm going for nissan micra's 2 lanes rhl for going straight on, and lhl for going left, a nice big que for the lhl, and I'm at the front, a newish micra pulls upside me (in rh)l, and i could see that he was planning on booting it from the lights and getting into my lane, so i booted it also, and mine had a little more poke so i held back so he couldnt get inand he give me all the flashy flashy bibby bibby malarky, so i got a fair ol way down the road and pulled over, hoping he would also. he didnt ;D  spose the older ones are ok mind, as long as they arent being driven by cocks |

i am afraid to say that is not the worse one,imagine a similar situation ,but in the pouring rain and 4.45 in the morning!!!!!!!i was doing airport transfers at the time and i was running empty to my first job and was catching up a truck,but there was too much spray for one truck so i went wide and saw this mondeo in the middle of it all,i started hooting but same as before,nada ziclh nowt.next time i would just leave it but they might be hit by an innocent person.

The mere sight of a Maybach sends me off into rants about the rich getting richer, capitalist exploitation, and fat greedy b*stards etc, but then again so does everything else, so it doesn't count either!  ;D ;D ;D you mean youve seen a maybach in greenock???!?!?!! |

Around town there's always one idiot who feels an intense desire to make sure that they are ahead of me. Presumably, they assume that because it's an old car, that it must be slow....   but this can be very amusing sometimes at the lights, as I have the element of surprise. i get this with the 411 all the time.goes like stink off the mark but starts to tail off around 50mph up to a max of 80mph. however,top end is not much good at the traffic light drags. ive caused a few red faces. ;D ;D ;D |

My pet hate is deffo big 4x4s esp, X5s, Merc MLs and Cayennes. They are so anti-social, pointless and bad taste nouveau riche, as well as mainly being driven by Richard Heads.
My secret weapon against them is our old L reg Mondeo. On the basis that I don't give a toss what happens to it, it always wins games of 'chicken' with these bloody things, which seem to be everywhere in our small town. This is the only positive use for this car (spent the past 11 years disliking it, but the wife loves it!), which is going into semi-retirement next week when a company car arrives and my wife takes the estate car. This retirement will hopefully become permanent when I resurrect the 75 this summer!
The old Mondeo has only done 72k miles so would make a good engine donor for something retro. An Escort mk 2 with 1600 Zetec power and Webers would make an amusing toy.

Its not the 4x4s but some of the people who drive them. We have a new Jeep Cherokee and I'm getting my 1990 Range Rover today and my names not Richard Head ;D |

My O/H learned to drive in a Rover 100 (no, not a P4... ) and now hates them.... when we were talking about getting another car recently she made it clear she didn't want one ;D I was able to reasure her that I had NO intention of buying one.... |

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault. |

I love pretty much all old cars. And Ive got to admit that I do like most new cars if not for the car it self then the technology involved. One car that I really do hate is the Daewoo Matiz the most dangerous and unsafe feeling car I have ever driven. My uncle had one as a courtesy car when his citroen was in the garage and he let me have a drive I took it along a twisty road I know and had it on three wheels most of the time. The only car I have ever driven that I think should have less power or a good going over with a big hammer |

I'm not very keen on this sort of thing!   RST S2 belonging to one of my neighbours. Yes, that really is marble effect paint... I think the RST is quite a nice car in standard form. This is just wrong IMO (And sounds ruff as with a v. smokey engine!  ) |
