Discussion
Totally irrelevant but annoys the life out of me, Is it just me or do people expect a fast car to be going fast 24/7. Can’t stick to speed to the limit because eager t
ts keep bumming the life out of you grrrr. My cars a tuned turbo so I drive really easy when the cars cold and constantly have every idiot flashing me and even horning, what the hell is wrong with people, there in no major rush once they pass me and overtake as they just drive at a normal speed afterwards but what is wrong with people, happened in my last car and now my new toy and Infact any quick car I’ve had, I never rag my cars cold and there generally my pride and joy so I slow down for speed bumps and great big pot holes etc...I know I’m not been paranoid as when I drive the mrs car or my my little runaround people don’t hassle me, soon as I’m in the toy they coming from every direction annoys the life out of me, what’s wrong with people!!!!

Lol I’ve tried all the suggestions many times, it’s got to the point that where I know there’s a nasty pot hole or dip in the road upcoming on a route I know, I have to a) lose the person behind me or b) pull up and let traffic pass. A lot of people may think this is abit OTT but I’m the one that’s going to have to fork out money for a costly repair whilst they just fly over humps and pot holes because there cars either a rental or some old rust bucket! Very annoying, for me the problem are white van men and vans in general and teen kids who just want to try there luck with you lol funny thing is anyone with a quick car respects the car and won’t try it on, and I’ll also show respect and distance myself from something I know someone spent a lot of money on
Precisely, why rush around like a headless chicken when the guy your tailgating will only catch you at the next set of traffic lights anyhow?!? I live in London and it’s the same story every day, just this morning I was going round a round about with the car ahead of me only 2 cars lengths ahead, travelling about 20/25mph and I’m getting flashed and eventually overtaken, I mean what the point on a bloody roundabout. Totally agree it’s just the culture here, but even first thing in the morning when your cars exhaust are puffing away as the cars cold and the windows are frosted up, people just expect you to do 40/45 mph in a 30, get horned at for doing 25? It’s bonkers
As capable as mapped 335d is mate I’d leave it for st lol previously owned M cars and same drama in them. I really don’t think I am being an annoyance driving 5mph less then the roads speed limit. It’s clear my cars huffing and puffing and frosted up just leave me be. If your so eager overtake me I have no issue with that, I fact many times I’ve just pulled over and let cars pass. Problem is when people constantly flash you and even horn at you and 9 times out of 10 I will catch them at the next set of lights anyway, so what was the bloody point. It’s obviously if I really wanted to I’d leave them with ease so why do they get so touchy and frustrated.

But why should I break the speed limit just because the road ahead might be clear. Another valid point regarding pot holes etc, but who’s the mug that has to cough up 1000s for replacement wheels, not to mention suspension damage and front bumper. I agree if someone’s going 10 in a 30 or 20 in a 40 the motorist behind has every right to be cross, but horning at someone for going 5mph less then the speed limit or slowing down for a huge pot hole is a joke
Shaker maker exactly that! If your so annoyed and eager please go ahead and overtake me, I do have a rear view mirro I can see your headlights literally on my rear bumper and I’m not progessing any quicker, use your head and overtake. It’s funny how brave people get behind the wheel of a car, they wouldn’t act in this way if your were walking
Lol I use to lose them through bends in my previous M car, literally sticking to the same speed just no braking, entering and exit the apex perfectly and I’d lose them with ease lol as mentioned though, it then becomes there mission to catch you up on the straights and force there way to your rear bumper even more so, makes me chuckle lol on a serious not just bloody overtake if road ahead permits, why cause a potential accident for the sake of a few seconds of your life and agenda for the day
I’m over cautious with this car as I mentioned it’s tuned and it’s a turbo. The car doesn’t want to change gear freely when it’s stone cold so I hang on to gears so I don’t stress it, You get a feel for your car, you can certainly tell when it’s cold so just for the sake of the road being a 40mph zone doesn’t mean I have to race to 40 just for the sake of some idiot behind me. I have no issue with beinh overtaken, please do so. It’s zero degrees outside my cars frosted up, windows are foggy, you can clearly see that, just go past me already.
It all boils down to i care about my car more then some pillock behind me who’s go ants in his pants. I ain’t driving through a pot hole or driving a cold car quickly for some complete stranger. Don’t like it tough! A speed limit is in place to not be exceeded, means that limit and below, doesn’t mean you religiously have to travel that speed throughout that zone
Tonyvid you been stalking me mate lol I’m stage 2 on a stock turbo if you know anything about the stock turbos you’d know there about as useful as chocolate teapot. Problem is this an occurring theme my previous M car got the same treatment, and when I drive my runaround and Mrs car I get no grief whatsoever. Never in the slightest. Soon as someone sees something abit tarted up there instantly on to you
