Fine. Drove to Muenster and back in the Benz at the weekend, listening to some very serene Bach lute concertoes at about 200 kph while Lady Tester slept like a baby. You can't do that in an Audi.

A lot of that was just noise to me, but I agree that Audi's are pants.

Surely a fulltime Audi driver.

Anyway, hello MT, how's my fave boy CUkker?

Is this the chap who drives an Audi one day and a Golf the next?

I see more and more of him these days.

He's normally to be found in traffic queues on dual carriageways where 2 lanes filter into 1 and he always straddles the central white line such that nobody can get past him and "push in".

I admit, I'm never the first to get into the left hand lane but I don't take the piss either. Just that fact that somebody actually takes it upon themselves to do such a thing is somewhat irksome.

Well said!

Not really. He spelt 'disability' wrong.

[MaryPoppins]

Doesn't the restraining order include internet communication?

It does, but you have to admire his blind tenacity. Ish.

The roads are full of anger - life is too short to risk death or dissability over muppets.

Well said!

You don't mention any of this in your OP. You just say the guy tried to undertake you.

We were are lights, in lanes 1 and 2.

I was level with the jeep guy. In front of me was a landy, in front of jeep guy a Mondeo.

Mondeo in lane 1 slow offthe mark, Landy sprints away.

Mondeo gathers speed and goes in front of me, which is cool.

Lane 2 ends with markers asking me to move into Lane 1, so I move into this lane behind the landy and the Mondeo.

Jeep guy clearly in a race with Mondeo honks horn, flashes lights, clearly pissed off I stopped his jeep vs Mondeo race.

I stop thinking he is undertaking me, although he has run out of road as I am already in lane 1 (lane 2 has ended).

I proceed, then slow to allow him to overtake even pulling over, but he stays behind me.

I then allow a car from the Romper pub ahead of me as did not like the idea of a clear road a head with a looney tailing me. The rest you know (other car sticking neck in after jeep overtake and goes through tunnels at 20 goading me to overtake but I refused to).

The roads are full of anger - life is too short to risk death or dissability over muppets.

Sorry I was making it up as I went along.

Right, let's fire up the Gricerboy sockie.

Exactly my point from last nights road rage incident.

I was in lane 2, merge sign on road to go to lane 1,but the jeep guy tried to continue even though I had nowhere to go, so he glues to my backside with lights on full beam.

So what about "Use Both lanes - Merge In" signs?

You're supposed to drive right up to the merge in sign, and those left lane self-appointed righteous ones are supposed to let traffic merge in.

Most people deal with this by racing each other, but what is the bloody point?

[Platypus]

Don't let reality **** up a good rant!

Ooops sorry, what was I thinking

I like to leave a bit of a gap in front of me to tempt people into trying it on and then shutting the door on them when they have a go. If you get it right and the people behind you play ball, you can get people stranded for a good while.

There's a great place to play this game as you come off the M60 onto the A34 Southbound.
