Title: White Astra VXR Man
Post by: Walrusbonzo on June 12, 2009, 17:49:32 PM
For several weeks now there has been this idiot on the roads, cutting people up, driving way too fast, generally acting like a twat in his White Astra VXR.
 
It turns out not only has he hacked me off, but other people around the company.  I found this out last week when discussing cars with a few people from another department, we all knew about this driver.  His lack of driving skills had given him a reputation.
 
This morning it has been reported from various other colleagues that he got pulled over by an undercover cop car on the driveway to where we work.  Infront of all the other people coming into work.

:twisted:

No doubt he was doing what he does every morning, cutting up traffic, and being a general tit.

I think he got a £90 fine and 3 points, so I heard through the grapevine.

Its exactly what hes got, the Nurburgring edition with chequered flag. It must be easy, he does it every day.  Understeer like buggery if I remember the Top Gear reviews, that wont do him any favours  :w00t:

I think I might of spotted this guy in his white Astra VXR a while back while on my travels to work, theres too many idiots on the roads around Leicester especially around the A563 road in the evenings, theres a number of them that you always tend to always spot & remember most evenings. When waiting at a place called Fosse Park some nights there is a total wanker in a black 4x4 who always cuts in front of you just as you are about to stop at some lights & pushes right in nearly hitting the front N/S of your car. Idiot.

Ive never really noticed another car before in such a way where the driving style is such and not just a 1 off that it is recognisable.

However I have started to have my suspicions on a road near home on the way to my grandmothers, a few times now Ive been driving along and some tosser hasnt gotten the whole "right of way" thing when theres a car parked on the road. Very nearly missed losing wingmirrors last time as I refused to stop. I think its a silver car each time, but thats the level of recognition for me!

If I ever have to be a witness for the police itll be terrible..."yeah, yeah...I saw someone driving a...a....a silver thing...can I elaborate?....um....it was a car...not a van..." :(

I suppose I did recognise the same disabled car at uni that insisted on parking in the disabled bay, badly. To the point of if another car parked in there shed park behind them and refused to move the car, even if the person who parked was disabled too ><

Policeman: So mr zpyder, whats your car.

zpyder: err, well, its not a van :?

Pretty much. I remember a few years ago I spent 20 mins walking around the wrong multi-story trying to find my car :|

Much hilarity will ensue when I get a new car later this year (hopefully) and I totally forget every now and again for the following 6 months.

Anyway he didnt and I ended up about 2 feet away from his door just to make a point. his wifes face was priceless tho, she thought I was gonna drive straight into the side of em. f**king tit

I hate stupid drivers and make it my duty to piss them off.

I was driving along once, when I had my old pug, and I was in a 30 zone there were cars in front and cars behind it was steady flowing traffic. Not to close though, nice and spread out.
This fool is sitting right on my ass in a renault laguna, so I slip it into a lower gear when it turns into a 40 zone and slam on my brakes and then speed away. He was so close he didnt go into the back and there was more than several feet before he would have gone into the back of me. But you could see him braking really hard and all his papers and gps just falling about his front window.

I dont do it quite so much in my Soarer, but in the Delica it was fun.

Things like "I dont know why youre starting to move into my lane, Im already here and Im not moving"
and I used to love when taxi drivers pull out on you, I wouldnt touch my brakes.

My Delica was covered in little dings and scratches already, it had a mahoosive bullbar and rocksliders.
People used to also get the full force of my 130w driving lamps directed through the rear window.

taxis are the f**kin worst
this turd was in the wrong lane at some new lights weve had in town, and he knew he was in the wrong lane so he tried to slip in front of me, anyway i didnt let him so then he beeped me, which really f**king pissed me off, so i wound down my window and called him a f**king c**t and to f**k off etc, he then slipped in behind me and made sure that he wasnt closer than 50 metres to me.

I f**king hate taxis, they think the road belongs to them the f**king arrogant c**ts, they go flying thru town at night and the police do f**k all about it. I try to make them obey speed laws by going really slow if theyre behind me and not letting them get past, f**kers.

They do it though right of ways near me, again in the Delica, I just plod on as normal, they usually crack their mirror against my bullbar.

Get a clue how to drive.

You make me laugh Edd, this thread appears to have really hit a nerve with you.  :mutley:

With you all the way matey! Sure theres some good ones somewhere but all the ones Ive encountered do act like they own the place. There is no way in hell I would get away with driving like they do - Id be pulled over in minutes.

Its because 90% of them seem to think they can drive like they are in India.
