No good though if your passenger has it embedded in their arm.

It really worries me that people believe stuff like that, then again some think the earth is flat

Sadly no picture. But I encountered an utter **** wit this morning in a BMW M135 weaving about traffic, jumping red lights, getting right up inside people's boots just to keep up with me, like he wanted a race in traffic... Likely going to cause a crash or worse since he was ignoring zebra crossings too. It's a Friday morning man, chill out, you couldn't "beat" a bike on an empty road, why even bother in traffic?
I pulled into a side road in the end to just let him pass on his merry way.

Seems to be a recurring theme between them and a45 owners (starlight headliner optional
), with occasionally old corsas giving it a go too.Seems to be a recurring theme between them and a45 owners (starlight headliner optional
Noticing it as well. Also the crappy ones like the 120i, 116d and standard A class.
Like I said earlier on in here I had one speed right up to my arse in a 30 before getting pulled by an unmarked cop (lol). Right outside a hospital too.

Agreed. Biggest chods on the road.
Girlfriend has just popped into town. Sent me a photo on Whatsapp while in traffic, "What model is the white one and the one at the front?"
I know because I recognise the the numberplate.
"Did the red one directly in front of you have a plate ending in AWM?"
"Yes, I think so"
@badgeruk, you've been spotted mate

Looks like the road going into Strood from Wainscott/Higham? Isnt it the guy's boss who owns an electrical firm or something? (Hence the plate) I think the guy in the boxter said his boss got the 911 really cheap.
Middle car looks like a Taycan.

Yup, I linked the post from SUYM, I remember badger showing us his bosses' car too.
And yes, that's the road that runs on down into Strood high street.

Interclub meet at Loton Park Hill Climb at the weekend, the Ferrari Club had some cars from their hillclimb championship. Most interesting was this one - 1963 Ferrari 250; not a GTO, but searching the reg, it's still around £1.5m:
The circuit was closed for around an hour because of this one: Formula Jaguar car found some grass, then some bushes, and then some much larger bushes, and finally a small tree. Driver walked away, but not sure this will buff out.

Think of how they are designed though, small crashes tend to break the wheels off (possibly to save the driver?), and obviously they're not built to pass pedestrian safety tests. Crashes do tend to look fantastic though.

Wheels are attached with the minimum amount to save of weight. Suspension allows a good deal of vertical travel, it takes almost zero lateral movement so will break quite easily if hit the wrong direction. All the safety to the driver is in the actual tub which looks like it has done it's job as it looks ok considering the wheels lol

I suspect if a road car was built that way, the first time Doris kerbed it the wheel would come off
