...bright sunny morning, tooling down the dual carriageway at a
respectable 70 mph.  Very few cars on the road apart form a eurobox in
the inside lane (Pugeot/Citroen/Rover???) and a gold BMW 316 i
convertible in the outside lane overtaking said eurobox UNTIL he sees a
156 bearing down on him, whereupon he backs off and matches the speed of
the car in the inside lane at about 40mph...no way past so I backed off
and ended up right behind him for a bit.  Followed  him for a bit until
it was safe to overtake him and then dropped a cog and went around the
outside.

He was shaking and shouting and obviously very upset that he was being
passed...real road rage moment for the Beemer boy.

Anyway it got me thinking...you know how dog owners end up looking like
their dogs?  Well, do BMW cars attract the owners, or do the cars turn
the drivers into tossers?  Do they have to fill out a special form when
you buy one that says "I promise to drive like a w.nker, cut people up
at every opportunity, and generally act like I am a smug bastard because
I am driving a Bavarian Mobile Wanktank  - so help me God" - before they
will let you take it off the forecourt???

Ahh, I think the medication is beginning to work....

When I bought mine I found a hidden document wallet under the driver's seat,
inside was a certficate, it read, "This Is to Certify That The Owner Of This
Vehicle Now Officially Owns The Road"

While I had the car I used to enjoy the expressions of amazement I got when
letting people out of junctions when I had right of way, indicating to drivers
behind me that it was clear for them to pass and completely failing to tailgate
everything in front of me.

Then I smacked it into a wall and bought a car that didn't leave everyone who
saw me driving assuming I was a total w.nker.

Its interesting to note that even though you ...do not like... BMW drivers,
you seem to remember so much about his car !!!

Colour,
Engine size
Spec
male driver
Convertible???

I wasn't aware those Munchen sausage makers made a 1.6 convertible!!! please
don;t tell me it's a new one...

Why didn;t you just razz it past him over the middle? Kick up some
dirt/dust/smallish paint chipping stones from the central reservation and be
gone with him?

And what are you doing taking your pride and joy out early on a weekend
morning, let the guy have a lie in man !!! The only time it is justifiable
to let your Alfa stretch his engine throat so early on the weekend is when
your stomach is calling for an Egg-McMuffin (or BLT bagel now!!!) from the
local greasy Golden M before the 10.30am breakfast lockdown...

It was an oldish one.  Don't know about you but I tend to try and
concentrate a bit whilst driving, so I occasionally remember what happened.

Dual carriageway with central barrier, so much as I would have liked to
engage hover mode, "razzing it past him over the middle" would have
caused more than stone chips.

Do you drink the Domestos?

When i got my alfa i took sp1 - stereotype pack 1 that is.  So now,
even though i've got a young family, I like to cruise the King's Road
at midnight in an open shirt with one hand out of the window holding an
impossibly strong cigarette and the other wedged up my model
girlfriend's miniskirt whilst steering with my knees and adjusting my
alice band.

I would have gone for SP1 but after the warranty runs out
you get cancer of the throat from the cigarettes, the shirt no
 longer fastens over your beer gut, and the girlfriend turns
 into a shapless fat blob with a mustache in a black dress.

You forget the stereo with techno music at maximum volume =)

Here in Italy it's the same... no matter which car you have, no matter which
engine is in it, you'll always have at your back a twat in a Golf (but can
be a Passat, an Audi or a BMW... exp. the X5 or X3) who wants to overtake
you... =)

Oh for goodness sake you Alfa drivers are such a bunch of turds. "Nyah
nyah nyah we don't like BMWs" - what you really mean is: "in comparison
to a BMW my Alfa is a piece of sh.t that breaks down every 10 minutes."
As for having your hand up your girlfriends skirt...... fist up your
boyfriends rectum more likely.
And oh dear - an Alice band......... for goodness sake you must be some
kind of shirtlifter.

Audi and VW drivers are usually very polite...

An alice band?!?

Are you perhaps familiar with the expression "gaylord"?...

Halmyre
Chris - 15 Mar 2005 09:26 GMT
I am indeed familiar, that obliquely being my point that the
intersection of outwardly macho behaviour and latent homosexual
headware is firmly with italian footballers.

Ah, so David Beckham's Italian! That explains his problems with the
English language, but not his taste in scrawny women.

I don't want to put my perfectly shaped a.s in a piece of sh.t engineered in
germany.
If our Alfa break down every 5 minutes you BMW drivers are out of the right
way digging big holes in the ground (that maybe is the work that a BMW
should do) 'cause your cars simply don't have grip on wet tarmac without
thousands of electronical helps.

My best regards,

Well just try sitting on the bench and you find there's a statistical
anomaly toward bad driving and BMW owners :)
Paul Woodsford - 15 Mar 2005 22:36 GMT
Methinks we have touched a raw nerve with this BMW driver leyton.david.

I'm not too sure wether He has a girlfriend or a boyfriend. Judging by his
anatomical knowledge I would think the latter.
