Muppet in a tin top - story
Discussion
Just wanted to share an enjoyable drive I had this weekend, going down the new A43 that bypasses Silverstone towards the M40, when a 'lad' cuts me up badly (Pug 206) as he pulls into the outside lane.... would of hit the bonnet if i hadn't hit the anchors. Then when i beeped at him (as he was coming over) he stuck his hand up at me & gestured !!
Idiot obviously hadnt looked at anything except the mirror & as i was overtaking I was in his blind spot.
Anyway, after he pulls in from overtaking, I floor it & pull cleanly past him. 2 minutes later he's hammering down the outside lane at 110 trying to make a point that he's a fast driver !! and get past me
Both lanes clear ahead, drop to 4th, wait for him to draw level & floored it...oh these cars are such fun.. left him wallowing alone in the outside lane, crying into his baseball cap.
Of course at no time did i drive dangerously or exceed any speed limits.
I also do not agree with getting drawn into these confrontations but sometimes they need teachnig a lesson !!

I reckon i'm still getting somewhere near the original performance from my S, the torque is great.
My guestimate would be 0-60 in 7 and 0-100 in 18
Not much from the mundane tin top range can stay with me. That said I generally leave the racing type behaviour to my Type-R as it likes a good thrashing.
Oh, i gave a Vectra 2.5 V6 a kicking the other week on the same duel carriageway in my Tiv S. He was gutted he couldnt get away & i had stuff to spare

My kicking of the Vectra 2.5V6 was on the Brackley section where its roundabout followed by Duel Carriageway, then roundabout & so on, so I was able to annoy him several times.
Th Green Man Camera's...I confirm yes there is one on each side now, forward facing Truvello's with yellow paintwork !
