Football fanatical wkers. A good example being my next door neighbour. I don't even to have to look at the TV schedule if I want to find out if a football match is on. All I have to do is just wait to hear all the shouting and wailing that ensues the minute a game starts. This over-passionate wker needs to grow the fk up.

Just seen a readers rides title with UKDM Integra. UKDM, surely that just means a uk integra. Should it not go without saying that its a uk car unless specifically written as an import.

Just seems an unnecessarily scene type thing to add, considering virtually every other car on here will be UKDM.

Fully aware that its ridiculously pedantic, but just winds me up.

Strictly speaking I think the DM ( Domestic Market ) should only be used to denote a vehicle originally sold in the home country of the manufacturer

Agree with both of you,using UKDM is stupid.

On the motorway this morning and there were a few flecks of rain - not even enough to warrant intermittent wipers; the occasional flick of the wiper stalk was sufficient for me. The motorist in front had their wipers on continuous.

For some reason this annoyed me beyond reason.

Letting someone out of a side road in heavy traffic, only to witness them drive like an absolute chav, tailgating, making faux overtaking attempts, before finally undertaking using a bus lane (which was in force).

Why o why did I let that nob out?

That annoyed me beyond reason for about 20 mins afterwards.

Always better to have the halfwit in front of you so you can keep an eye on his insanity, than having him behind you and worrying about what the hell he's up to.

Correct move.

Indeed. yes

Same with tailgaters. Admittedly, sometimes the Red Mist descends and causes me to be obstructive but on the whole I tend to let them past (if I can) as I'd rather have them in front of me where I can brake in good time if the traffic bunches up than have them behind me where they might rear-end me in a shunt.

People that cause accidents on the M25 rage
Was going to work on a friends car yesterday, left home 8am, nipped around the M25 to jcton 25 then all traffic stopped! Sat there for an Hour due to an accident frown all 4 lanes closed.

It had been a good run up to that point frown


This too, in my Van, outside lane, slower car in front of me then clear ahead. I give slower car a flash, they move over let me pass then pull back out into the outside lane again! WHY?

My auto wipers do this, a bead of sweat on my forehead, the wipers go mental, torrential downpour - what do you mean it's raining.
I hate them.

The absolute tool in a Bentley Continental GT who crossed the chevrons coming off the A3 into Cobham on Saturday. Don't think he liked the fact I had left him for dead coming up the slip road from the M25. I do have the dashcam footage of his manoeuvre and am tempted to forward it to the police...

The grille on a DB9 is sharper. Wipe down to get rid of water spots; spray car with blood from sliced finger. I eventually got out a metal file.

Whereas there are no sharp bits at all on my beautifully crafted Toyota Avensis. Who's jealous now!? tongue out

yes

Although I'm not sure that a fktard who doesn't know something as simple as 'drive on the left' is beyond reason.

There's more imports in the UK than UK cars...

fking rocket science! I'm fking fed up of people saying that.

Surely it shouldn't be brain surgery to think up a new cliche?
