case in point...fiat 500X

I though the 'expert' was magnaminous not saying the driver should have anticipated him/fiat pulling out ...but I suppose he wants to keep his followers. ..
could even have been the case fiat driver thought he would stay in the offside lane

lots of new Kia's sportage around here on the school runs - blacks the usual colour of the beast - they must have some good finance deals ?

It should be part of the test.

The ability of the average suv driver to keep their vehicle (which is probably 20cm wider than my 170m car) over their side of the road is what I'd reproach,
and demand that they are tested in that type of vehicle, as opposed to the fiesta etc. they passed their test in.
that's where their choice of vehicle is endangering me, I'm not prepared to squeeze over and drive in the gutter ... two irreperable nearside punctures in last few years.

This seems a bit unfair on people with slow cars, such as the Toyota GT86, trying to join dual carriageways at very short sliproads.

Love this

Of course you do. People of similar intellect naturally get along

Simon · 30 Nov 2019 at 10:53

Hardly. It was just a funny comment. Not sure how intellect comes into it or are we on the play ground ?

Secretly you love the attention you get here anyway.

Think you've taken it to heart a bit much, Nasher. It made me chuckle, and I own one as well

Didnt bother me at all.

Not one bit.

No way.

There there. Is ok. Perhaps you could take early morning photos of the SUV instead?

I'd have to walk too far back to get it all in the shot. Perhaps I could send someone less superior to do it for me?

See, wouldn't have that problem with a focus. Yet another disadvantage of them!

It was funny maybe the first half dozen times he did it

But I know he drives some ****** BMW right, so meh

In your defence gents, don't think I've ever encountered a GT86 being driven by an arse!

Nasher · 30 Nov 2019 at 12:36

Except for when I roll out my own, I only see maybe one a month on the road so it's hard to tell :/

Quite a lot of them are weekend/track day cars and are hiding most of the time. You do get waves from other owners though which is nice

I can't remember commenting on your car before to be fair, so if I have it must have been a long time ago
