Valver 0, Camper Van 1

I just thought I'd tell you of my little adventure tonight on the way home from Work, down my favourite single carriage A road.

Pull off onto the start of the A166 towards home and theres a big Fiat Ducati camper up my ass - no bother, foot down in 2nd pull away nicely. Anyway come upto a blind bend and theres a van in front of me, so I slow. Look in the mirror, campervan behind me.... camper van BESIDE me.. WTF? My testosterone reaction was to close the gap between me and the van but before I even reach for the gear knob the guy goes for the Van as well! The van brakes and the Camper gets in just in time.

After the S bend there is a junction - and as the camper pulls out again I nip past the van and get up his arse. But this is the thing - every time I pull out to overtake - the campvan is already pulling out to overtake the car in front - even when theres stuff coming, forcing oncoming cars.

After passing a few more cars I decide to call it a day and sit and watch this maniac go for a few more cars and nearly kill himself and about 5 other people. I realise theres a meathead guy behind me in a Micra who's followed me passed a few cars and as he passes me he gesticulates for me to join him - in fact further down the road he blocks the road with his car and gets out to have a go at the camper van driver!!! But he just drivers on the verge around the guy and his car.

Insane - it MUST have been stolen or the guy must be insane or something, shouldn't have really bitten but it just wound me up so much - with hindsight I'd have preferd him to be infront of me rather then behind.

While all this was going on, my valver turned 118,000 and I didn't see it Sad

Guess it's just the day for the retards eh? Silly bitch tonight decided I wasn't going fast enough, (45 in a 30) and over takes me in a 1.1 Saxo. I wasn't that arsed at the time, didn't see the point personally as the lights changed anyhow, so it didn't save her any time at all. Anyway I pull up beside her, and she started edging forward. I just hung right back, anyway she decided she was going to do a wheel spin (Sigh) so I got passed her quite easily. Anyway I carry on as normal and this little Saxo undertakes me horn blearing lights flashing and some spotty teenager girl driving gives me the V sign. Obviously too busy swearing at me, a little way up the road she lost control and went slap bang into the kerb.

I drove passed with a big grin on my face, as many of you probably would.

At least one idiot got her cumumppunce (spelling) today.

Yeah the Wheelbarrow comment was a little too smart arsed, even for me. Sorry about that.

Lol, gotta love broadband for that eh, always online so you can just post a load of crap when you're pissed!

But yeah did it in the crap Clio, I can't believe those 1.1 Saxo's can do wheelspins, one thing I've always wondered though.

Can you do a wheel spin in a Reliant Robin?

lol im sure it can be done!...bad thing in a robin reliant is a rough track, like a grassy one where two ruts have been worn by tyres and in the middle is big lumpy grass thing....not very comfy when u got a wheel in the middle lol

same applies in snowy weather...

yeah you can wheelspin a robin, you can even do a doughnut in one if the tyres are knackered enough, rwd power! i always fancied sticking a 500bhp YB lump in one.

Need a wheelie bar.
