HyperAlloy Combat Chassis
I was driving down a dual carriage way this evening, was stopped at some pedestrian lights. A couple of neds pull up in a corsa, baseball caps, loud exhaust, sparco racing seats. The driver was so low at first I didn't see him, thought it was a left hand drive import. I was expecting the worst, but nothing happened. I was on my way with no trouble.
I was doing about 50 comming up to a 70, and then he hurtles past me about 80 or 90. As he comes level with a slow moving truck, he breaks sharply so as to block the road. I move out to go round the truck but he doesn't move, just sits there doing 40. I can see his m8 leaning to look in the mirror to see me. He speeds up a bit and comes level with a car and again steps on the breaks to block the road. The pair of them are having a right laugh. By now there's a big queue behind me, and the guy behind is getting aggitated and flashing his lights. I see a space on the inside coming up, and get 3rd gear ready. The space comes up and i'm round him before he even knows it. The 40-85 3rd gear acceleration on the 182 is pretty decent
And I thought that was that :S but I'm waiting at a roundabout in the outside and I see him a few cars back on the inside. He pulls out apruptly a sits bumper to bumper with me round the roundabout. I'm off in 2nd and he's a dot in my mirror again. What the f00k was all that about???
On my way back I see him again coming the other way (on the bit of road he's just driven). He sees me and he turns his little beetle browed face to frown at me all the way past. He can hardly see out the window he's so low. I really have no idea what he was playing at, and why is he driving round in circles? Up to no good no doubt. Plus if he was looking for a race, why didn't he go for it at the lights?
