A bit of fun this morning...

**M-R-P** · Wednesday 14th December 2011, 12:57

On my way to work, I found myself alongside a 61 plate XC60 in pearly black paint. I think it was an Rdesign. and was a D5. Coming off a roundabout, glances were exchanged then a nod then wooosh... well, he went woosh, I spun both front wheels and the DSTC lost interest. This allowed the XC to pull out a bit of a lead. Having got the old girl under control and on boost in 3rd, I romped past as you'd expect, slowed to let him pull alongside so I could have a look at his car, then boosted ahead and pulled across in front to see a thumbs up from him in my mirror. What a beautiful poise those things have from the front, really admired the look of the thing. I know I say the new S60 stinks of mondeo but the XC60 really is a thing of beauty.

There ya go.

What do you guys recon?

I had a play with a D5 owner (all in good spirits)

and he gave me the middle finger !

So you're doing something right

Well, there was a look and a nod of mutual agreement that we both went in, knowing what we were doing (although he clearly didn't know about the contents of my engine bay lol) so whatever the outcome, it was just a bit of fun and the thumbs up clearly showed he knew that.
Quite quick, those new twin turbo D5s.

People get techy with me when I put me foot down... it's prob the black wheels, big bore exhaust and tinted windows

You have to watch when you do that I did it to a Mk4 GTi the other week I was coming out of a 30 going onto a 60 and he went to over take so I put my foot down and he had to pull back in. The guy went mental at me. I sat at 60 he went past me the first chance he got and slammed his brakes on infront of me, i kept back, we got into another 30 and he tried to stop my car by slowing down infront, I went past him there was no way i was stopping, I didnt know who this guy was. Just that second as I past the guy a BMW traffic cop came round the corner, thank christ I was back in my lane or I would have got nailed.
I kept a cool head, I think it might be a sighn of me growing up lol.

That is annoing and can be dangerous to other drivers.I`ve done the same as that guy many times when ppl piss me off by doing so.Let go and then overtake would be the right thing to do.Once I done it at very high speed in my old mk2 golf when a compressor merc driver showed his mid finger and put his foot down.

whos to say I wasnt going to pull hard up to 60 anyway? he should have read the road a bit better. He didnt know how fast my car was and i didnt go above 60, so more fool him for trying to pass at that moment in time.

**MattM** · Wednesday 14th December 2011, 15:11

It's OK on a dual carriageway for a bit of a laugh, but I wouldn't do it on a single carriageway. I'm always doing the speed limit so if the car behind wants to overtake and go over the limit that's fine, I wouldn't dream of putting my foot down.

Yea those types of drivers annoy me. They don't give you a chance to accelerate up to the correct speed, they have already decided to overtake you anyway. Dangerous!

**volvokid** · Wednesday 14th December 2011, 15:19

I acelerated from 30 to 60 I broke no law I let him past, he slammed his brakes on infront of me almost making me hit the rear of his car. How is this so hard to understand?????

**MattM** · Wednesday 14th December 2011, 15:26

I was agreeing with you.

The first part of my post was aimed at yorkshire R.

**volvokid** · Wednesday 14th December 2011, 15:26

Ah sorry Matt

**volvokid** · Wednesday 14th December 2011, 15:28

I could agree with the guy being anoid if I was potering about up to 60 and as soon as he went to pass I floored it but thats not what happened.

I never even seen the second part of your post DOH!!!

**volvokid** · Wednesday 14th December 2011, 15:32

I would love to tell the story I had with a X6 the day before on a dueller but I dare not, half my fault and half his but to tell you the truth after what happend thats the end of my road rage, I've never seen driving like his he didnt care if he killed me and him, this is why I let that golf pass no more rage from me.

**MattM** · Wednesday 14th December 2011, 15:36

It's always the BMW drivers that do the craziest driving to 'get it front'.

**volvokid** · Wednesday 14th December 2011, 15:40

Put it like this it was a brand new white X6 private plate ended in DFC (probably a football player) he undertook me and he had no place to go, but he managed to make a place and i left a little mark in my pants. NEVER AGAIN

**M-R-P** · Wednesday 14th December 2011, 15:45

I have a weekly issue with a tweaked up slover, blitzed him a few times a few months back and now he does whatever he can to get past me, which usually means he drives like a total c**t. I stay waaay back if I can't stay in front

**volvokid** · Wednesday 14th December 2011, 15:47

I remember you saying this before Martin, I just thought to myself why should I let this **** in his 4x4 try to bully his way past me

I wouldn`t,if he wants a smash give him one,if he wants a fight don`t fight just knock the p***k out.I see those p***ks every day as I drive for leaving at some point.
