Tailgatied in your cerb?
Discussion
I don't know if its just me but today I was driving the cerb and on three occasions I was tailgated by cars so close that I could not see their number plates. Fine on a dual carriage way where such irritants can be dispelled with a gentle squeeze of the throttle, but on more minor roads where traffic conditions don't always allow you to overtake I don't see what is to be gained buy driving right up someone chuff like that! Do any of you get much of this kind of crap?
I get this from time to time in whatever car I'm driving. I normally just back right off the accelerator... slow down to walking pace. They get the message and either back off themselves or overtake. I won't be goaded into going faster by anyone... unless they're driving a Cerb, Caterham, Stratos, etc etc. 
Appreciate it can be a worry, but I'd consider it a form of compliment of sorts. I must also confess to doing the same when the Essex TVR owners club set off from Shoeburyness on their monthly meet.
I'd been waiting for them in the wrong friggin car park (again) and after some obsenities told the Mrs (whom I've convinced we need to get a Cerbera) and the daughter to get in the Freelander.
All of sudden in front of me they pulled out, and thankfully the Cerbera (Spd 6) was right in front of me. I stayed as close as was safe so I could hear the exhaust note and to let the Mrs get a good look at the shape. She was impressed although I'd prefer a 4.2/4.5 personally.
Anyway, if you were the Cerbera owner in question, I was the green Freelander behind you until Leigh station when you floored it to get round the road works. I wasn't trying to worry you, just doing proactive marketing. It worked and the Mrs loves the shape and noise of the Cerbera!

, as if one of those mudane looking repmobiles could keep up with a Cerb....Jules.
I have to say with me it's the other way around - no one gets near my arse. I go 'performance car' baiting.
Had a great one the other day with some knob jockey in a new M3, I'd followed him for a while and you could see from his driving style that he thought he was a bit special, so going up a long dual carriageway hill he could see I wanted to get past so reluctantly he pulled over to the inside lane and then proceeded to put his foot down thinking I'd never get past him.... ha, ha, ha, made him look very little in front of his girlfriend. Great fun!!
