iva cosworth]People [on here mainly said:
who when describing their car have to put the whole model in when it not necessary.
For instance ....Golf GTTDI 130
We dont need to know every last detail when Golf was sufficient .
BTW when i mention my car here i only type cosworth.Simples.

2007 Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec
5 door, manual, petrol, fabric seats, AM/FM radio, CD player, 5 seat belts, grab handles above doors, passenger vanity mirror, spare wheel in boot, front head restraints, ash tray (illuminated), carpeted floor, windscreen wipers with intermittent setting, alloy wheels, air vents in dashboard, leather baggy on gear stick, interior light, glove box, seat belts on all seats...
Sixteen year old total and utter fking dheads on scooters with 'race' exhausts. Give it up lads, there's not a chance in hell that you're going to convince me that your scooters are worthy of 'race' status - I could ride faster on my mountain bike than you lot! At best your scooters sound like Black and Decker strimmers, at worst they sound like a nest of wasps with extreme, debilitating diarrhoea! aholes!
aholes who deliberatley close the gap in front of them by accelerating when you ovetake them and try and force you into oncoming traffic. Again!
Drivers of fully laden farm vehicles incapable of maintaining 10mph, have in excess of 20 cars behind them on winding B roads and won't pull over when the opportunity arises. 2 miles last night! 2 friggin' miles! Over 10 minutes of crawling along
Over cautious drivers who won't overtake slow moving vehicles even when its perfectly safe to do so on a push bike let alone in a BMW 330d (probably on the phone).
Motorcyclists that will speed through the countryside but crawl through built up areas at well below the speed limit when its perfectly safe. Especially when they brake hard at the 300 yard to speed limit change marker rather than at the speed limit marker or immediately before it.
+1 for the smelly, noisy 2 stroke scooters with 'modified' exhausts. They don't sound good and they won't be appreciably, if at all, faster. Why would you want people to notice you on a smelly, slow and at best functional form of transport.
People who give way to other vehicles over whom they have priority and as a result cause people behind them to be left stranded over junctions (not me by the way) or in other dangerous places.
People who think its OK to pull over on a clearway to answer thier phone because they have pulled 2 wheel of their vehicle off the road. Clear the carriageway! It's a clearway for a reason you imbecile!
Women who decide they want a child and deliberately become pregnant by a short term boyfriend and don't tell that boyfriend because they want to bring up the child alone until they can't maintain their lifestyle and then expect the man, who knew noting about the child's existence for 6 years, to subsidise her decision and lifestyle. (Colleague of my wife has done this) Does this qualify her for a SWT badge? I think so.
Peope who come round a blind bend staddling the double white lines. This is becoming more and more common.
Parents who announce on National Radio that its not fair to expect them to know where their pre teen and early teenage children are and that they can't be expected to be responsible for them. More so when they are asked who is responsible and they say the Government! FFS!
....And breathe!

In a similar vein, when you're overtaking in a queue of traffic in lane 2 or 3 then pull back into the appropriate lane, the person behind you has to make that 6 feet of 'progress' whilst no one else in the queue follows you into the correct lane leaving you to try and find a way back into the queue as you approach the next car which need to be overtaken.Stevenj214 said:

People who insist on pulling into the inside lane even for 100 yards, then pull out into the middle lane at 55mph (after getting within 20 yards of the slow moving vehicle in front), accelerate up to 70mph then pull back in - rinse and repeat. As much as I dislike middle lane drivers, this behavior is just as annoying. If there is a lorry doing 60mph 200 yards ahead, then there isn't any point in pulling in behind it. Women that weigh the same as a bag of crisps, yet loudly voice their disgust at being so morbidly obese in front of as many ears as they can. Fishing for some compliments?. Go yourself you utter turd, I'd worry more about your eyesight if I were you.
Those tight fitting cotton, lycra style, black trousers that seem to have exploded back into fashion on women of all proportions. Especially when a lardy fat st wears them. Cellulite infested, saggy, FAT ad morons that think I enjoy being behind them, usually on stairs, while their buttock cleavage is clearly hungry. To the point that they stretch into them and their underwear is visible.

+1And then you get stuck behind them for bdy miles when you can see clear road ahead .. really frustrating

Washing machines. Or, more to the point, the fact that washing machines don't have a "Oh st I forgot to put that in" button.
A button that - if pressed within the first two minutes of a cycle - would stop the machine, drain enough water out to open the door, unlock the door and let you put in that sock/T-towel/thong that you dropped on the floor on the way to the washing machine, then carry on with the cycle.
Not, I am sure, beyond the capabilities of laundry appliance manufacturers.
