I've never done a thread like this before but I am posting this in the hope that he is on here or someone on here knows him and can have a word.

Black Ferrari, not sure of the model. Newish, front engined. Reg No. ORION SP ( don't know how that's legal)

You are without doubt the most dangerous driver I have ever seen and I can only hope that you kill yourself before you undoubtedly kill others.
Driving like you do ie a completely irresponsible idiot isn't clever and doesn't impress anyone.

He was driving along a dual carraigeway like a complete psychopath.

He joined the dual carraigeway and a small white van had pulled into the outside lane to let him in.
The van passed him, indicated left and started to move back in again in front of his car.
At this point he gives it the beans and moves into the outside lane, almost taking the back off of the van (there was inches in it) and tears off up the side of the van while the van is straddling the white line.
Goodness only nows how he made it through the gap.

I saw him race up the carraigeway and then park his car about 3 feet off the back of another car until he moved out of the way and then off he went again.
The manouvres were bad enough but it was the speed too. He was flat out all the time.

If he drives like that all the time he will kill someone.

He needs to slow down.

As said, I don't do these threads, but I was shocked by what I saw and I was waiting for a pile up to happen.

Yeah, just had a look, that's what it was.

I remember the exhausts being on top of eachother and the brake lights being in an unexpected place.

doesn't sound that bad, certainly would be way off from the worst I've seen (911 turbo with a young lad driving around a smallish village at absolutely insane speeds)

It's hard to convey in words how he was all over the van and how they didn't come together is beyond me and his complete disrespect for the other road users.
He was going so bloody fast too.
If the road was empty, I wouldn't care.
All he was going to do was kill himself at a ton+ but it was quite busy at the time.

He was driving a Ferrari, the other road users should have shown some respect and cleared him a path.

That was me.

To be fair, I was aiming at the Cyclist in front of the van.

She's not been Swissified then, otherwise she would have urged you to report it for passing and obviously speeding!

I'm very lucky my wife is a petrolhead

For those who haven't lived in Switzerland this isn't a joke! A few years back I was test-driving a 330D and overtook someone on a twisty road. He was going slower than 80 kmh. It was a fairly short straight between corners but the 330D had so much torque the overtake was very quick and completely safe. Mr Swissie didn't see it that way of course and flashed me. A bit further up the road I got caught behind a group of cars and so Mr Angry ended up on my tail. Checking in my mirror I saw he was writing down (I assumed correctly my number plate). I got the guy to pull over and got an ear full about how he was going to make a complaint to the police (Anzeiger). I let him have his rant then drove off as I knew that arguing would make it worse and even though I was confident that I couldn't be done for overtaking (which isn't illegal yet in Switzerland) I had some doubt because the police would likely listen to a Swiss person in preference to a foreigner.

Was it a remapped 330D?

Anyway, seriously OP what are you going to do if the owner says "Yeah that was me". Are you going to send him a strongly worded email? Are you a powerfully built director with a goatee?
