Not at all, old bean! I'f I get someone being a twit, I just look down at them from a great height with a very smug look on my face! :D
Thrasher:
I like to confuse people by letting them out, waiting patiently for them to finish whatever silly maneuver they are trying, letting people cross the road etc. Of course this is only on the *way* to work. On the way home woe betide anyone who attempts to cut me up, mess me about or jay walk! :)

Yeah, I find I seldom have to stop in the Disco - ppl see it coming towards them and pull in (apart from the Mercedes-driving grockles of course, who wouldn't pull over for a combine harvester). Whereas in the Rover it's always me stopping or reversing.

Hey, what's wrong with Mercedes drivers? Don't tarnish us all with the same brush. [-X
Don't you find it's more about the person sat behind the wheel than the vehicle. Old men in flat caps you know are going to drive 5mph under the speed limit and in the middle of the road. Old women are sat so close to the windscreen that they cant see anything else and are therefore completely oblivious to other road users. And, dare I say it, women of a particular ethnic minority are just down right scarey...no road sense, no driving skills what-so-ever, no concept of speed and also have no thought for other road users. They seem to be in a little world of their own. Find some tosser sat in the middle lane of the motorway travelling at 65mph with the nearside lane clear, and you know it is going to be one of the above. ](*,)
Rant over.

:o I used to hate going out in the hubby's Cosworth, most people wanted to race even though there was a tiny baby in the back! I get the jealousy thing in my Disco, and when I had my last old Rangie, got into a "whose right of way in narrow lane" row and the man in the convertable "willy extension" wanted to get out and punch me, again my kids were also in the car - fortunately his girlfriend stopped him!
