and the Contour, doesn't look so retarded wearing a contour on your head.
The GoPros are usually attached to the frame
I hide minebut because I am obessive and it's also not undersealed.
Been looking at getting a new (second hand) car soon.
Monaro is on the list. I like the idea of a 5.7 or 6.0 v8 just for the sheer hell of it.
i had a strange incident that is kinda the same to this too. Its not as bad as this but the other car was absolutely stupid.
Im out for a random drive one rainy evening, done some nice random lanes, when i come up to a town. Through the town im keeping to 30, then someone pulls out and only does 25. Fair enough its annoying but its wet and i guess 30 is not a target. I drop back and carry on at 25. A few minute later a focus Mk2 joins the queue, only this guy follows me so close i cant even see his headlights. As we come out of the town, a NSL sign is in the distance, 300-400 yards away i guess. Obviously im now preparing to overtake the 25mph driver but will wait till the NSL comes. around 200-300 yards from the sign, the focus screams (well as a 1.6 screams i guess) past both of us, almost doing a head on with a car coming the other way.
I was shocked with his actions for a moment, but carried on with my planned overtake as the NSL sign came. Upto 65-70mph (yes i know 10mph over... shoot me), and around a few bends the Focus trying its hardest to pull away as if it was some sort of race, then with a long straight he boots it up to, i estimate 80-90mph, before coming to a slight kink in the road. Being Mr Lewis Hamilton, he dabbed the brakes mid corner
, over steered, fishtailed and more over steering down the road for what seemed like ages (about 6-10 swings i guess). At one point he was at least pointing 45degrees off the road. I took the corner at 70 (with absolutely no loss of grip), straightened up then applied brakes to watch this "show".
Obviously the guy thought i was racing him, but i was just as much frustrated and wanted to make progress as he did, i didn't overtake the slow car to chase him down to whine about his overtake on me, I just wanted to get on with my drive just as much as he did. The problem is, if he had crashed i would have probably been at some sort of fault for "racing?"

Sounds like it was Lewis if he managed to save 10 tankslappers at 90mph!

Well it's been warm hasn't it. Plus it's playing up at the moment so I need to keep and eye on it. The BCM is failing so the lights have a mind of their own.
i know. While he was stupid enough to loose it in the first place, the fact he saved it really "impressed me"
Seems you didn't even read what you were quoting either
Busy driving atm, some twit 10ft in front weaving about like he can't see where he's going. Still have full beams on from a few miles back, cba switching them on and off all the time while browsing and steering etc, brb going to take him on this blind bend coming up

You were warned not to post in this thread again!
Maybe his fullbeam will illuminate some children in the road for you.
Ban?Probably had prior experience
I hope you pointed and laughed whilw you witnessed this
Ban?
suspended not good enough, I vote perma ban.
I have no feelings towards the person in the video.
Sometimes you meet ********* on the road, and thats all there is to it.
Past caring about things like this, 10 years ago, sure I'd probably be up there ranting and talking about leathering the guy, now, my only opinion is "meh" and I move on.
