    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(\"VladTepes)</div><div class='quotemain'>There's a wa**ker lives down the road and drives a VN-shape white dunnydore sedan with "JetPilot' stickers on rear screen and quarter windows (I mention it so you can stay out of his way). [/b][/quote]

    Which reminds me - if in Sydney, stay out of the way of a WRX with the rego WOSNME - he deliberately menaced me when I was riding my motorbike along Parramatta Rd. He would swerve towards me and try to push me into oncoming traffic. Getting out of the way in Sydney peak hour traffic isn't easy. Parramatta Rod is so narrow that lane splitting to get out of his way wasn't an option.

    Should I mention his appearance was common with that of many other rice burner drivers?

    Between the experiences here and the ones I hvae had, I now firmly beleive that there are a couple of reasons these people behave this way.
    This is the only way thay can have any influence upon anyone.
    And due to the lack of personal contact, they become more assertive, when they feel they will not be in receipt of 'contact counseling'.

    I travel at an assertive pace and often go past people who then speed up and follow, eventualy trying to overtake, Pajero's the most common, Why do they do this? Is my old s-box so offensive?

    I actualy like to be a passenger so I can watch the world go by. Love doing road trips, but like the back roads free of idiots.

    Hi folks, most of the above situations are amazingly similar to personal experiences. I’m convinced drivers of other makes of 4WDs feel intimidated by our very presence, and I don’t just mean Rangies. I’ve had the same sort of goings on in both of my Discos.
    I had one occasion when I was travelling along the Hume Hwy between Cambelltown and Wilton, had the cruse control on and holding the disco at about 120kmh, sitting in the right lane overtaking most other vehicles when I passed a the new MB 4WD An ML5 I think they call them, sitting in the left lane doing about 100 to 105 when I passed him.
    About a minute later I was coming up on a truck moving slower in the left lane when I see a set of head lights coming up behind me but in the left lane.
    Next thing this brain dead retard wheels up behind the truck and then forces his way into my lane. If I hadn’t braked he would have side swiped me. Then the hero backs off to the same speed as the truck and stays there for the next 2 or 3 KMs.
    As we came up to the Wollongong turnoff he floors it and turns off.
    As I was turning off there as well, I had already back off behind the truck to be able to turn off.
    Up to this time I had travelled along the Wilton to Wollongong road many,many times so I had a fair knowledge of the road and although he tried not to let me overtake, knowing the road, I just waited till I could do it where he wasn’t aware overtaking could be done no matter how illegal it was.
    From there on in I decided to see how good he was in the back seat.
    I don’t know if the disco has better breaks or he just had bad reflexes, because no matter how many times I jammed the breaks on, he had to swerve every time.
    After quite a few minutes of this, I lost interest in the one sided amusement and left him.
    Funny thing though, about 6 or 8 months later I was on the F4 passing through Wollongong heading back to Sydney when what do I come up behind ( and must be honest did not recognise at first ), one ML5 and the next thing I know he floors it and heads to the far right lane and takes off, at that time I had no intentions of doing a thing. Never saw him again.
    I have never started a situation, at least not deliberately and if it was my fault I would prefer to apologise, but if someone else starts I used to get great amusement out of teaching them the error of there ways.

    Not smart but it used to be fun, Regards

    They recently found that the brain derives a genuine pleasure response from revenge.
    There's a local clown in a Forrester who is the same as you MB bloke.
    Has anyone noticed that most can't drive around corners?

    Not wrong there, or if they are in front of you, how they swerve all over the road because they can’t steer and look in there rear vision mirror at the same time. :roll:
