To the driver of the silver 996...

[vixen1700]

...on the A1301 from Cambridge heading towards the Genome Campus at 6.15 last night: Hope you got to your destination safely, you wreckless tosser!

Hope you saw my hand gestures.

Would you have posted a message like this on the Ford forum, if it was a blue Mondeo rather than a Porsche? Thought not.

I love 911s to be honest. (Well air-cooled ones anyway ) I don't like dangerous drivers who sit on my arse, weave in and out then overtake everything in sight on bends.

I was driving home last night behind this tvr, and bits kept flying off and hitting my car causing me to swerv several times to avoid them, I eventually overtook the car as it shuddered to a halt on a blind bend making me overtake in a dangerous position.

The other month I was driving down the motorway when a gunmetal 997 came thundering past in an arrogant "get out of the way of my Porsche" way. Tailgating everyone in his path.

Bloody brilliant when 2 minutes later a cop car comes past and 2 minutes after that I see the Porsche driver and the cops on the hard shoulder giving out tickets!

That absolutely made my day!

[silver996]

good for you

[Testarossa]

So the Porsche driver was an undercover policeman?

Or were they tickets for the Secret policeman's Ball?

I think Porsche drivers should be immune from speeding tickets, everything holds us up on motorways and main roads , people pull out in front of us on purpose too. Lets have a vote

[silver996]

I was wondering how you "thunder past in an arrogant way"? tailgating I agree is stupid, but overtaking arrogantly??????????????

Everyone has to be aware that Porsches are the fastest thing on the road (that don't break down) , so if you see one in your mirror you must get out of the way, then we wouldn't have these problems.

Is that a tacit admission that TVRs' are quicker?

I could sell my Elise, buy a used 996 and still have change for a holiday the way them 996 prices plummet!

Nah mate, I don't really want a Boxster variant, I'd save up for a proper Porsche like a 993.

It did run through my mind yes , but then it would either fall to bits or run out of petrol
