Just wanted to share this :-)
I was on my way home from work one day last week, and it was raining
pretty hard. Travelling along the freeway I came up behind a grey
coloured ford something. The ford was doing 85 and the limit of the
freeway is 100 (kph). So I indicated and overtook.
Upon seeing that a mini (998 van) was overtaking him, Mr ford decided
to speed up.(I hate it when that happens) Luckilly I had the momentum
and got past. Now Mr ford, who was previously happy doing 85, was now
tailgating me at 100, obviously not pleased to be behind a mini. The
traffic was quite heavy
and he couldn't overtake.
Turning off the freeway Mr ford found a gap and overtook. I thought
to
myself "what a tosser" and watched as Mr ford dissappeared up the
road. I was
glad he was off my tail as the rain was really coming down hard.
A few k's later I noticed a strange thing. There was Mr ford again
and he was indicating to get back into the slow lane. I thought that
he would have been long gone. I watched him move across and then his
indicator changed to harzard warning lights.
It seemed that in his rush to keep ahead, he had raced through one too
many
puddles. His engine has died and he was rolling to a stop. Once
again
I overtook him, however this time I had a huge smile on his face.
In the rear view mirror I could see Mr ford lifting his bonnet and
getting thoroughly soaked. I touched the dashboard and said thankyou
to my little car :-)
