I would agree with you but having never owned one I thought I would just sound bitter, I think they could do but not for another 10 years or so, and that's if they haven't all be badly lowered by that point!

Thankfully the E46 is now more than cheap enough for the "Scene" people to ruin and the reputation of the E36 is in tatters so of you can find a good one get it before they become endangered and as expensive as E30's.

It must be here already - but people with both windows down and music blaring out. Why?
They are insecure, have low self-esteem and need an outlet to be noticed. Uber loud music from cars is a simple solution.There is the option to close the windows of your car and annoy nobody.

Not by a long way. Some nice ones about but still lots of rubbish, and many years from the cover of Octane.Triumph Man said:

6x Union Jack Flag stickers along the entire length of the boot
2x "Exit" Stickers on the bumper

Wonder if they're related to the guy living near my previous residence, who had a huge England flag on the bonnet of his Renault Laguna, plus obligatory UKIP, Alex Jones' "Prison Planet" AND "Infowars", and usual passive aggressive "the closer you get, the slower I go" bumper stickers. Parked either four feet from the kerb or diagonally across the pavement. Absolute throbber.6x Union Jack Flag stickers along the entire length of it's boot

people like to decry others such as myself who enjoy loud music in our cars then say nothing about a Harley with open pipes, odd!!!!!!!
I think it's because you're not just enjoying your music 'in' your car - you're broadcasting your music. The music would sound just as good to you with the windows shut. Why inflict it on others?A loud chainsaw/Harley/lawnmower/foghorn/whatever is a completely separate point to be honest.
I am imagining 99% of passers by thing 'knob' - I would assume you'd rather stimulate a different reaction?
Knob on a large motorbike who overtook me in a 30 zone near Wendover/RAF Halton this evening: I was doing 30, as were all the cars in front of me, then literally 300 metres later he turned right into a driveway. Except there were cars coming the other way, so I was forced to wait behind him until he could turn right. t

Depends on the weather really, if it's hot and sunny then the windows come down, major difference though between this and the idiots on bikes who CAN'T turn their obnoxiously loud pipes down, people like to decry others such as myself who enjoy loud music in our cars then say nothing about a Harley with open pipes, odd!!!!!!!
CAN'T and WON'T are pretty much equivalent here.The complete & utter, Knob doesn't even begin to cover it, in a flat bed Transit who after spending 3 or 4 miles tailgating me towards Lechlade tonight, I was doing 50/55 in a 50 Zone, decided to overtake me as I was slowing for a red light at Lechlade Bridge then his sharp anchoring caused me to do the same because the light was still red.
When we got a green light,y Mc face goes over the bridge, turns right, as do I, then y Mc face decides, without indicating, to pull up in the Bus Stop just before the sharpish bend towards Burford & go into the Co-op!!!!!
How does that sort of Pondlife get a licence & actually keep it?

Very odd one today. Approaching the most basic roundabout you can get, 4 exits 90 degrees to eachother, each with 2 unmarked lanes on approach.
I'm taking the second exit so obviously I approach in lane 1, enter the roundabout and follow the outer lane past the first exit, indicate left and then take the second exit. Pretty much as simple as it gets right?
As I'm about halfway past the first exit, a woman in a Berlingo approaches from said exit fairly slowly, looks me dead in the eyes and then looks forwards again. Based on her speed and the fact that she had clearly seen me I assumed she would stop.
I was wrong.
She potters onto the roundabout as if it was completely empty, right in front of me! The point at which I had to slam on the brakes was also the moment I began indicating left for my exit, so you can imagine how close I was to her. I'm annoyed I didn't expect it because I should have really but my expression at the time was one of sheer disbelief!
But then at the next roundabout her thought process was made obvious. It's laid out the same, she's taking the second exit so of course she straight lines it...
She must have thought that because I dared to actually follow the outer lane, I must have been taking the first exit even though I was half way across it when she saw me.
What concerns me is that she must do this every time, surely some day she'll get hit by someone using the inner lane properly.
Anyway, sorry for the essay on an event that took 3 seconds, I like me some detail

t instead of st with clarity.Coming home from work, the road was reduced to one lane due to cars parked up on my side, and there was a cyclist already coming down that section the other way. So I stopped to let them through.
Some cocksocket in one of those stupid Micra C+C Noddy cars just went straight past me and up the road, forcing the cyclist to stop and hug the kerb to let them past.
fkwit. Hope an artic does the same to you at the next obstruction.
