Well that was a bit odd
Discussion
Left home and got to the bottom of the road, up comes a van behind me.
Starts hooting and flashing his lights - I have no idea why.
The car is fine, no punctures, nowt hanging off, no smoke.
Meh, so I ignore it and pull away.
Next junction same van, doing the same thing.
Huh thinks I...so I see if he is following me by going all over the shop for about 20 mins...and yup, he is.
Right, this has to stop. I'm pretty mad by now...
So I pull up and he jumps out.
I wind down the window.
"Hey mate, I just wanted to ask you about these cars"
What the fug?!!
I told him to piss off and stop behaving like a nutcase.
Apparently, according to his lucid reply involving sex & travel, it is me who is in the wrong!!
Now forgive me if it is me behaving like a nutcase ... but chasing someone across town, flashing ones lights, blowing ones horn and so forth seems to be indicative of being a bit obsessive, not t'other way around.
I'm happy to talk about the car until normal circumstances but this experience is a touch to far methinks.

Be proud man... happens occasionally... especially if there is an australian behind the wheel..
Maybe I should - it's just the way it was done as if it's perfectly ok to behave like that.
Imagine if my Missus had been with me.
I would never do it myself, it's only a bloody car after all.
Sorry, I consider it a gross intrusion.
Maybe I should buy a Mondeo.
Had the same thing happen to me in 2000. Just got my first HSV & had a bloke in a Jap. saloon going mental behind me, waving, sounding horn, flashing lights etc.. He didn't give up, so I pulled over, jumped out & asked him wtf was going on. He wanted to ask me about the car as he was considering importing a Holden SS!
1. First time he did it I would have wondered if he was mad at me for some reason.
2. Second time he did it I would have wondered if something wrong with car, but as an obsessive SOB who checks everything before driving I wouldn't have worried too much and waved a 'thank you'.
3. Third time he did it I would have stopped and hit him.

I'm getting this sort of thing all the time especially in gas stations always getting people asking what it is,its always" is that a 2.2? " NO, A 1.4 !!!!!! CONFUSES THE SH*T OUT OF EM. I know that a fella near me in southport had a GTS-R a black one but not seen it for ages so its suprising ive not seen him round. But the most importent thing about a HSV is, the birds luv em especially blonds 
owww yeah.....
