So is anyone this shallow:

When passing a bunch of teenagers walking along the road, look in their wing mirror to see if they "rubber neck" the Tiv?

Or

Go a little slow leading up to a tunnel so that you can give it some welly while driving through it?

Or

Stick rigidly to the 30mph limit, building up a queue behind you, because you want to floor it when you leave the 30mph zone?

Or

In the echoey confines of a pertol station give it a few more revs than you really need to when starting the car after filling up?

add to that... looking to see if folks you're overtaking have opened the window a little to hear the v8 and then obliging!

Oh yeah, forgot about that! So we're all equally shallow then. There's security in numbers!

Yep all of them.

And go out of my way to drive past a pub where people sit outside.

And I am only too happy to be stopped at zebra crossings.

And I squint sideways to see if people are looking.

And ... oh god, I'm Shallow Hal.

Guily as charged...and would ask for the additional crimes to be taken into account...

1. Dropping a gear and feathering to make some 'crackle and pop' when passing the aforementioned teenagers.

2. Laughing raucously when boy-racers start to edge forward and rev when next to me at the lights.

3. Using slightly too much throttle whenever I go though a narrow street for better 'acoustics'.

When I had my chim a while back, I did the 'giving it loads of welly for the people outside the pub' bit

It was strange... a few of them firstly reacted badly, giving it the 'who's the noisy prick?' look, but then a split second later when they saw it was a nice shiny TVR, they all turned to smiles and appreciation!!

proud as could be that day
