Seeing a "decent" car driven by a tool...

[Cock Womble 7]

...really makes my heart sink.

The M1 (South - around Leicester) this afternoon; pretty chokka in lane three, fairly empty lane two. (I'm dragging 40-odd tonnes up lane one.)

Next thing I know, a lovely-looking, unmolested, un-chavved-up, black Escort Cosworth comes blatting up lane two at a fair lick and then swerves into lane three at the last moment before getting intimate with the rear of a lorry, neatly cutting up the car in the front of the queue in lane three.

This disheartens me.

The way I see it, if you're a bit of a driving enthusiast and own a "decent", "performance" car, is there not an onus on you to drive that car in a "decent" manner - if only to prevent the brush-tarring of "all those sports car drivers are nutters" mentality?

I'd like to think so.

How long before the Cossie ends up wrapped around a lampost

A lot of 172/182's driven by fuds.

Yours truly a 182 driver.

We can only hope that the driver - and not the car - gets written off.

Always sad to hear of a Ford Cosworth being abused in such a manner. What a tit.

Not sure how that would happen?

unless he flys through the windscreen when the brakes seize on?

I don't care - as long as the car survives the driver.
