Corky if you are not a boy racer, why did you get it remapped?

That's brilliant! An economic adjustment to your car, that get's you 282 bhp! Good work!

I once had to have a Matchbox Maserati Gran Turismo surgically removed - I can assure you it was only because my nephew had carelessly left it wedged between two settee cushions and my eyesight is no longer as keen as it once was. Luckily there was only minor scuffing to the bonnet.

Phew...for a moment there i thought the Maserati had bought it. My De Tomaso went the furthest in the "put the track on the window sill and see how far they go" challenge.

Best option is not to put your foot down, but to take your foot off... car will gradually slow down, further coming closer to them... they get so frustrated they either back off as they nearly crash into you or speed past you very angry indeed

I'm sure he was driving up your arse in order to make you realize that you were driving like a pussie in the wrong lane. Putting your foot down or getting the fuck over was probably exactly what he wanted. Not sure why he would be embarrassed.

Why were you dawdling in the overtaking lane ?
The bloke probably just wanted to go faster and you were in the way.
I'd have laughed at you if you'd done that to me. He was probably made up that you pissed off out of the way. I know I would have been.

No, because I dont drive like a lemon and slow enough for that to happen,
Car is for shopping, commuting and lugging the MTB about.
Bike is for men with massive spuds and blowing away 282bhp motors that people think are fast ;)

Astra VXR is a bit "look at me".... if you really want to suprise boy racers you need more of a sleeper, ive got an unbadged Stilo Abarth, very subtle looking but good for 200bhp with a few tweaks.
And who you trying to kid that you got the re-map for "economy" reasons.... yeah right!

It's an overtaking lane and your attitude seems to be 'Who the fuck does he think he's overtaking, I've got a better car'
Very immature.

Not to mention illegal. I hate boy racers in their shit Astras.
We had a memorable set to at Heaton Park once, all over refusing to give way over who was coming in and who was going out.
Ended up with us getting followed home down by the motorway by some mad git with his even madder wife and two ugly kids. All I did was tell the woman to "piss off." She was a right one, telling us to "MOVE OVER" as if she owned the bloody country.
Anyway, they caught up with us outside the house, but didn't get out. Just tried to run me over as I got out.
Happy days.
Years later, when me and hubby were going out for the first time, we were in the car and suddenly he says "Oh shit." He could see a taxi driver waiting at the lights opposite. The taxi driver had a very red face and was almost foaming at the mouth, as he had spotted hubby too. Seems they had had a set to the week before in a road rage moment.
Cue car chases down Bury side streets for at least 20 minutes.
God knows why I ended up married to him. ;-)

whoa!! you are the man. you get to drive like a dick on the motorway showing us car drivers how brave you are darting in and out and showing no regard for rules at all. you drive like this because you are confidant cars will back off because somebody has to display some common sense. the thing is that if a car driver took you on, there would be a likely outcome. one clip of your back wheel and you come off. you would be seriously injured at best. the driver of the car would likely be the one seen as responsible and would have to live with it, but never mind, at least you get a buzz off putting us lemons in our place. you are my hero.

Haha, I suffered a bit of road rage on the east lancs a few years ago. Some prick in an artic thought he could barge to the front of the queue and push in front of me. I wouldn't let him in and he leaned on his horn for about 30 seconds and gave me the wanker sign out of the window.
Now if I do something wrong on the road I hold my hands up and apologise but the one thing that really winds me up is people having a pop when it's them who are in the wrong.
After a long day and being sat in the traffic jam for an hour, I was raging.
I got out and he locked his cab door. So I consoled myself with bending his windscreen wipers back and putting his mirrors out of position(in a wagon you need someone else to set the nearside for you)

Lmao your all a bunch of nobs there a speed limit for a reason and its fucking 70. Not 70 + 10% + 3mph = 80 or any other bullshit you want to make up the nation speed limit is 70.

stop being a fucking leftie twat and enjoy the forum,
why dont you have an " eclectic meeting with some kpi's and bullet points?
im just a normal guy posting about expereinces !!
It was you driving like the arshole. He wanted to go faster and you were in his way. It's different if someone is up your arse and there's nowhere to go, but you've already said you put your foot down and burned him off, so the road in front was obviously clear.
It would have been just as easy to pull over.
